2. Return Window
Unused, unopened products in original packaging may be eligible for return within 30 days of delivery (shipped orders) or within 30 days of pickup (local pickup orders).
3. Final Sale Items
Opened film rolls, cut kits, custom or pre-cut items, and clearance goods are generally final sale unless defective as received.
4. How to Start a Return
Email support@essentialppf.com with your order number, reason for return, and photos if the item arrived damaged or defective. Approved returns receive instructions for shipment back to our Illinois warehouse (or drop-off guidance for pickup orders, when applicable).
