We cover insurance on your return shipment up to $500. Declared value exceeding $500 will be calculated into your invoice.
We stand behind them personally
While your cards are with us they're protected by our own guarantee: if an item is damaged through our handling, we're directly responsible — you'll be refunded the service fees for that item and compensated up to the value you declared for this submission.
