We have few strict rules at Hot Potatoes, but one of them does concern returns. First, we do not accept returns on velvet ribbon or yardage. We appreciate a phone call (615-269-8002) or an email (info@hotpotatoes.com) to give us notice of a return, at the very least a note must accompany any return with a reason for the return. We honor returns 30 days from the ship date only. No exceptions to this rule. Ordinarily you will not be refunded for shipping and if you keep the catalog an additional $6.00 will not be refunded as well.We absolutely do not refund for used merchandise, unless there is a problem with the manufacturing of the product.
