What happens if I return an item that does not qualify for a refund? Can I have it shipped back to me?

If the item(s) is not eligible for a refund and the product was sent back to our fulfillment center regardless, we will send the product back to you.

My order is past your 30-days from delivery return policy, what are my options?

You are eligible for claims on Moment products with our two-year manufacturer warranty. Third-party gear is subject to the applicable brand's warranty and we recommend reaching out to them with any issues, you can read more about third-party warranties and how to get in touch here. One alternative we recommend is trying resale. Our lenses sell particularly well in the photography community. You can try resellers like Craigslist, OfferUp, eBay, Amazon, and Facebook. If you have any other questions, please reach out to us.

What if I purchased Moment gear from another site and/or seller?

If you have purchased from Amazon, Apple, Google, Freefly Wayward, or B&H, you will need to first contact the vendor from which you purchased for all exchanges and return inquiries. We're not able to process any refunds for purchases made through third-party resellers. However, you are eligible for any warranty claims on Moment products directly through us.

Every holiday season, we extend our return window to ensure that every gift is perfect. Any order placed from October 15 until December will have an extended return window until the end of January for the following year.

If you would like to exchange your product in its original condition, please follow the return procedures outlined above and place a new order for your preferred item(s).
