We do not offer a return, exchange or refund for products that are:

  2. Purchased from a Source Other than Travel Dude’s Website or Amazon Page: We cannot provide refunds for products that were not purchased directly from our own website (www.travel-dude.com) or from our Amazon store. If you obtained the product from a different retailer or source, their return and refund policies would apply. Please reach out to the respective seller or retailer to inquire about their refund process.
