Refund policy
What's Covered in This Policy
Section 01
Return Window
FlowWells offers a 30 calendar-day return window on all eligible orders. Your return window begins on the day your order is confirmed as delivered by the carrier — not the day you placed the order or the day it shipped.
To count as a valid return request, you must contact us at support@flowwells.com or through our Contact Us page within 30 calendar days of your delivery date. Return requests submitted after this window has closed will not be accepted, and the order will be considered final.
Example: If your order was delivered on June 1, you have until June 30 (inclusive) to submit your return request. Weekend days and public holidays count toward your 30-day window since it is measured in calendar days, not business days.
Section 02
Exchange Policy
FlowWells currently processes exchanges on a case-by-case basis. We do not offer automatic one-for-one product swaps at checkout, but we do accommodate exchanges in the following situations:
To request an exchange, email us at support@flowwells.com with your order number, a description of the issue, and clear photographs if the item is damaged or incorrect. Our support team will guide you through the next steps within 1–2 business days.
Section 03
No Restocking Fee — Ever
FlowWells charges absolutely zero restocking fees on any approved return. Many online retailers charge a 15–25% restocking fee to process returns — we do not, and we never will. When you return an eligible item, 100% of the product price is refunded to you.
This applies to all product categories in our store, regardless of the reason for return (as long as the item meets our eligibility requirements). Our customers should never feel financially penalized for changing their mind or reporting a problem with their order.
Section 04
Return Eligibility Requirements
To qualify for a return and refund, your item must meet all of the following conditions at the time it is received back at our facility:
✅ Items We Accept for Return
❌ Items We Cannot Accept for Return
Important Note: If an item arrives back at our facility in a condition that does not meet our eligibility requirements, we reserve the right to deny the return and ship the item back to you at your expense. We will always notify you by email before making this determination.
Section 05
Return Shipping Costs
Who covers the cost of return shipping depends on the reason for the return. We have made this as simple and customer-friendly as possible:
When you are responsible for return shipping, we recommend using a trackable shipping service (such as USPS, UPS, or FedEx) and retaining your tracking number. FlowWells is not responsible for packages lost in transit during a customer-paid return shipment.
Original Shipping Costs: Original outbound shipping fees are non-refundable for change-of-mind returns. If your order qualified for free shipping and you return it, the actual outbound shipping cost incurred by FlowWells will not be deducted from your refund — you will receive a full refund of the product price.
Section 06
How to Initiate a Return — Step by Step
Initiating a return with FlowWells is straightforward. Please follow these steps carefully to ensure your return is processed without delay:
Email us at support@flowwells.com or use our Contact Us page and include the following in your message: your full name, your order number (found in your confirmation email), the item(s) you want to return, and the reason for your return. If your item is damaged or defective, please attach clear photographs showing the issue.
Our support team will review your request and respond within 1–2 business days (Monday–Friday, 9:00 AM–6:00 PM CST). If your return is approved, you will receive a Return Merchandise Authorization (RMA) number and further instructions. Do not ship your item back before receiving this approval — unauthorized returns cannot be processed.
Place the item(s) back in the original packaging whenever possible. Include all original tags, accessories, and documentation. Write your RMA number clearly on the outside of the package or include it on a note inside. Secure the package with adequate tape so it does not open during transit.
Ship the package to the return address provided in your RMA approval email. If FlowWells is covering return shipping, a prepaid shipping label will be included in that email — just print it and drop off the package at any authorized carrier location. If you are covering return shipping, use a trackable carrier and email us your tracking number once the package has been sent.
Once we receive and inspect your return, we will send you a confirmation email. If your item passes inspection, your refund will be processed to your original payment method within 10 Business Days. You will receive an email notification when the refund has been issued.
Section 07
Return Methods
FlowWells is a fully online store — we do not have a physical retail location. All returns must be shipped back to us by mail. We accept returns via any of the following US carriers:
Please always use a carrier that provides a tracking number. Keep your shipping receipt and tracking number until your refund has been confirmed. We strongly recommend purchasing shipping insurance for higher-value items. In-person drop-offs are not accepted.
Section 08
Refund Processing Time
Here is a transparent breakdown of the complete refund timeline from the moment we receive your returned item:
Refunds are always returned to the original payment method used at checkout. We do not issue refunds as store credits, gift cards, or checks unless explicitly requested and agreed upon in writing. If you paid with a credit card, your card company may take 3–5 additional business days to post the credit to your account after we process it — this is outside our control.
Business Days Defined: Business days are Monday through Friday, excluding US federal public holidays. Our team operates on Central Standard Time (CST/CDT), based in Rosemount, Minnesota.
Section 09
Customer Responsibility
To ensure a smooth return and refund experience, customers are responsible for the following:
Section 10
Our Responsibilities
FlowWells commits to the following standards on every return and refund case:
Section 11
Return Address
Important: Do not send your return to this address without first receiving an approved RMA number from our support team. Packages sent without prior authorization will not be processed and cannot be refunded.
1051 148th St W, APT 208

United States
Section 12
Damaged, Defective, Incorrect or Missing Items
We take full responsibility for any issue that was caused by us. If you receive a package that does not match what you ordered, or if your item arrives in poor condition, we will make it right — at no additional cost to you. Here is how we handle each scenario:
If your item arrived damaged due to shipping mishandling, email us within 7 calendar days of delivery with photos of the damaged item and the outer packaging. We will ship a replacement at no charge or issue a full refund — your choice.
If your item has a manufacturing defect discovered after use, contact us within your 30-day return window with photos or a video demonstrating the defect. We will arrange a free replacement or full refund depending on stock availability.
If we sent a different product than what you ordered, email us with your order number and a photo of the item you received. We will send the correct item immediately and provide a prepaid return label for the incorrect one.
If your order arrived with items missing, email us within 7 calendar days of delivery. Include your order number and a description of what is missing. We will ship the missing items immediately at no cost to you, or offer a partial refund if a replacement is unavailable.
Reporting Timeline: To give us the best chance of resolving damage and missing-item claims quickly, please report these issues within 7 calendar days of your delivery date. Claims reported after 30 days from delivery will not be accepted.
Section 13
Lost Parcel Policy
A parcel is considered lost if its tracking information has not updated for 10 or more business days and there is no confirmed delivery event. If your tracking shows your package has been in transit without movement, or if the carrier marks it as lost, follow these steps:
Check with neighbors and building management first — many carriers leave packages with neighbors or in secure areas without scanning them as delivered.
Contact the carrier directly using your tracking number to file a missing package inquiry. Most carriers can investigate within 2–5 business days.
Contact FlowWells at support@flowwells.com with your order number and carrier case reference number. We will work alongside you to resolve the situation.
If the carrier confirms the package is lost, FlowWells will either reship your order or issue a full refund — your choice. We will not ask you to bear the cost of a parcel lost by the shipping carrier.
Packages Marked "Delivered" But Not Received: If tracking shows your package as delivered but you have not received it, please allow up to 3 business days as packages are sometimes scanned early. After that window, contact us and your local carrier. We will investigate and, if confirmed undelivered, issue a replacement or refund.
Section 14
Order Cancellation Policy
We process and fulfill orders quickly. Cancellations are therefore only possible within a limited window after the order is placed.
If you contact us at support@flowwells.com before your order has been picked, packed, or handed to the carrier, we can cancel your order and issue a full refund within 10 Business Days at no charge.
Once your order has been fulfilled and handed to the carrier, it cannot be cancelled. You may still refuse delivery or initiate a return after the item arrives, subject to our standard 30-day return policy.
Because our team typically fulfills orders within 1–3 business days of placement, we recommend contacting us as soon as possible if you need to cancel. Use the subject line "Order Cancellation – [Your Order Number]" to help our team prioritize your request.
Section 15
Lost or Missing Returns
If you shipped your return back to us using a trackable carrier and the package appears to be lost in transit, here is how we handle it:
Always retain your shipping receipt and tracking number until your refund has been confirmed by email. This is your primary proof that the return was shipped.
Section 16
Late or Missing Refunds
If you have not received your refund within the expected timeframe, please follow these steps before contacting us:
Check your bank or credit card statement directly — refunds sometimes appear as pending transactions before they fully post and may be listed under a slightly different merchant name.
Contact your bank or card issuer and ask them specifically about the status of the refund. Some banks hold refunds for 3–5 business days before posting.
If it has been more than 15 business days since we sent your refund confirmation email and nothing has appeared, please contact us at support@flowwells.com with your order number. We will investigate immediately and resolve the issue.
Section 17
Items Returned Without Approval
We require all returns to be pre-authorized before the item is shipped back. This protects both parties and ensures the process runs smoothly. Do not send any return without first receiving an RMA number from our support team.
If we receive a package that was sent without authorization:
To avoid this situation, always contact us first at support@flowwells.com before shipping anything back. The RMA approval process takes only 1–2 business days.
Section 18
Policy Abuse Prevention
Our return policy is designed to protect our genuine customers. To ensure fairness for everyone, we actively monitor for patterns of abuse that unfairly burden our business and honest shoppers. Behaviors that may be flagged as policy abuse include but are not limited to:
Customers identified as abusing our return policy may have their return privileges restricted, have future orders declined, or be permanently banned from purchasing on flowwells.com. We always investigate thoroughly and fairly before taking any such action.
Section 19
Fraud, Abuse & Safety Protection
FlowWells takes fraudulent activity very seriously. We reserve the right to refuse service, cancel orders, and deny refunds or returns in cases where we have reasonable grounds to suspect fraudulent activity, including but not limited to:
If you believe your account or payment information has been used fraudulently by a third party on our platform, please contact us immediately at support@flowwells.com. We will assist you in securing your account and coordinating with appropriate parties.
We may share relevant information with law enforcement, payment processors, and our platform provider (Shopify) when required to investigate and address fraudulent activity, in accordance with our Privacy Policy.
Section 20
State-Specific Consumer Rights
FlowWells ships exclusively within the United States. In addition to this policy, customers in certain states may have additional legal protections under applicable state consumer protection laws. Nothing in this policy limits or waives any rights you hold under your state's statutes.
Under the California Consumer Legal Remedies Act (CLRA) and Song-Beverly Consumer Warranty Act, California residents have specific rights with respect to product warranties, returns, and refunds. If a product we sold you is defective, you may be entitled to a full refund, replacement, or repair regardless of our posted return window.
New York General Business Law §218-a requires retailers to clearly post their return policies. Our policy is posted on this page and on our website. NY consumers are entitled to receive a refund, exchange, or store credit according to the terms disclosed at the time of purchase.
Under the Florida Deceptive and Unfair Trade Practices Act (FDUTPA), Florida consumers are protected against unfair business practices. We are committed to fair and transparent returns for all Florida residents in compliance with applicable state law.
Texas consumers have rights under the Texas Deceptive Trade Practices Act (DTPA). If a product is misrepresented or fails to perform as described, Texas consumers may be entitled to remedies under this statute in addition to our stated return policy.
As a Minnesota-based business, we are fully compliant with the Minnesota Consumer Fraud Act (Minn. Stat. § 325F.68-70) and the Unlawful Trade Practices Act. Minnesota residents have strong anti-fraud protections and may seek remedies under state law for any violations.
All 50 US states have consumer protection statutes that may supplement or expand upon the rights described in this policy. We encourage you to familiarize yourself with the consumer protection laws in your state. Our policy will never be used to limit rights you hold under applicable law.
If you believe your consumer rights have been violated, you may also contact your state's Attorney General office or a consumer protection agency. FlowWells will cooperate fully with any lawful investigation or inquiry.

Policy Updates
FlowWells reserves the right to modify, update, or replace any part of this Return & Refund Policy at any time. Changes may be made to reflect updates in our business operations, changes in applicable law, or improvements to our customer experience.
When we make material changes to this policy, we will update the "Effective Date" at the top of this page. It is your responsibility to review this policy periodically. Continued use of our website or placement of an order following any changes constitutes your acceptance of the updated policy.
The policy that applies to your order is the version that was in effect on the date your order was placed. If you have questions about a policy change and how it affects a prior order, please contact us at support@flowwells.com and we will gladly assist you.
We are a small, customer-first business and we genuinely want every order to end with a smile. If something did not go right, reach out and we will take care of you.
