RIAM Return Policy
RIAM stands behind the authenticity of our offerings and the accuracy and completeness of our descriptions. Please consider all information on tags and inspect merchandise carefully when in the shop, or review all photos and copy carefully when shopping online. Because minor imperfections from age and normal use are common with antique items, and “part swapping” or damage resulting from handling, cleaning, or attempted repairs is not uncommon, ALL SALES ARE CONSIDERED FINAL unless verifiable proof of significant misrepresentation is provided by the buyer. Under certain circumstances, some RIAM sellers will consider return requests for reasons including “didn’t fit” or “just didn’t like it”, however the decision to accept a return is entirely at each RIAM seller’s discretion. Depending on circumstances, authorized returns may require a restocking fee of up to 18% and in any case must come back exactly as sold. It is best to inquire about possible return options for any particular item before making your purchase.
