Return Policy

Defective or Damaged Items Policy

Not all purchases are going to be perfect. As hard as we try, things may not always arrive as expected. Please acknowledge that Box condition is sold as is. We ship our products mint unless stated in the description. We do not offer exchange, discounts, or refund for dents and creases caused during shipping transit. If you are concerned with box condition, please email us. Bluefin does not accept returns or cancellations on orders.


Damaged and Defective Items

Any defective item or item damaged in transit goes through the standard Bluefin exchange process. Please email customerservice@bluefincorp.com with any issues with damaged items.

The following issues do not qualify as a defective product:


  • Minor cosmetic paint issues
  • Package condition

Refused and Undeliverable Shipments

A refused shipment will be treated as a return and any return costs will be deducted from the refund.

If a shipment is returned to us as undeliverable due to an error on your part (such as incorrect address or not home), we will contact you to reship the package; any return and re-shipping costs are due before the package is reshipped. Re-shipments for domestic customers may not be eligible for Flat Rate Shipping.

International customers will be responsible for any additional fees, duties, or taxes for refused or undeliverable shipments. If customs disposes of your shipment for any reason, no refunds will be issued for product or shipping.
