Policies

Trial & Return & Exchange Policy

The following policy applies for items Sold and shipped by Autonomous only (“Autonomous Products”or “Products") and does not cover products manufactured by other brands sold under the Dropship model. For any products Sold and shipped by Vendor other than Autonomous (“Vendor Products"), please refer to Dropship Product TOU.

30 Day Trial and Return Eligibility

Most Autonomous Products* are eligible for a 30 day trial period and can be returned within 30 days of receipt in the 48 contiguous United States of America. The items must be in like-new conditions with the original packaging.

How the trial period works:
  • Your trial period begins when your items are delivered. If your order consists of multiple items, each item has its own trial period depending on its actual delivery dates.

  • If you order a product that is shipped in several packages, your trial period starts from the date that your last package is delivered.

For specific sales and promotion campaigns, please carefully read through our campaign T&Cs prior to making any purchase to determine whether the participating Autonomous products are eligible for the standard trial and return policy.  

 

Refunds

To process a Return:

  • Return requests must be submitted via this form within 30 days of receiving the item.

  • Photographic evidence showing products are still in “like-new” condition, and have been properly packaged into original packaging must be provided. All items must be returned in the original packaging. Very important: Without the original packaging, items can be damaged during return transit.

  • Once approved, we’ll issue an RMA number and a return shipping label. Return authorizations expire 30 days after approval.

  • You can either choose to bring the package to the local carrier center to return to Autonomous or call the carrier directly to arrange a pickup but Autonomous will not cover the pickup fee if any.

  • Returns are typically inspected and processed within 5 business days of receipt.

  • We’ll issue a refund to your original payment method once we process your return. Most returns are processed within 5 business days of receipt. Refunds may take 7-10 business days to appear on your statement, depending on your financial institution.
