Hassle-free Returns

Refund vs Credits

When doing a return, you have two options to receive your refund. You’re able to opt for a store credit, which includes an incentive bonus for you to use on a future order. This bonus amount will vary based on your order. Alternatively, you can be refunded to your original form of payment, minus return shipping as well as a handling fee.

You can see the total itemized breakdown of your refund in the Return Portal.

Like New Condition

Returned or exchanged products must be in brand new, mint condition, and have all original manufacturer's packaging, materials, and accessories, including instruction booklets, packing inserts, and blank warranty cards. Items that are damaged, unsanitary, dented, scratched, or missing major contents may be denied a return.

Damaged, Defective, or Incorrectly Received Items

Please make sure to check all of your items upon delivery. If you receive a product that is damaged in shipping, defective, or that is not the product you ordered, you will have 14 days to submit your claim by reaching out to us at hello@shopmoment.com. We will do whatever we can to resolve the issue.

Package Protection

We offer optional Package Protection at checkout to give you peace of mind. If you purchase package protection, your order is covered in the event it is lost, stolen, or damaged in transit. This ensures that we will replace your item at no cost to you.

*For high value products similar to Digital cameras and Drones we ship with the added security of a Signature Requirement at delivery. Once the package is signed for you are taking possession of the products and will no longer be able to make a package protection claim for lost or stolen items.

*For orders with a value over $500 that were not shipped with a signature requirement - A police report will need to be made and included with your package protection claim.

If you do not purchase package protection, Moment is not responsible for lost, stolen, or damaged packages once they have been shipped. We strongly recommend adding this coverage at checkout for an extra layer of security—especially for high-value orders or during peak shipping seasons. A shipping label will still be provided for your return and the cost deducted from your refund. In the event of a lost package, you must file a claim with the carrier.
