We want you to be completely satisfied with your Pokémon trading card purchases from Arc SportsCards. If something isn't right, our return process is here to help.
1. Return Policy Overview
Arc SportsCards accepts eligible returns within 30 days from the date of delivery. We offer free eligible returns to make the process as easy as possible for our customers.
Whether you received a damaged item, a defective product, or an incorrect order, we are committed to working with you to find a satisfactory resolution. Please read this policy carefully to understand the eligibility requirements, exclusions, and step-by-step return process.
Return Window: 30 days from delivery
Return Shipping: Free eligible returns
Inspection Time: Within 72 hours after the returned product is received
2. Eligible Returns
The following types of returns are generally eligible under this policy:
- Damaged Products: Items that arrived damaged during shipping, including visible damage to the product itself (not solely to outer shipping materials).
- Defective Products: Products with manufacturing defects that significantly affect the product's intended use or value.
- Incorrect Products: If you received a product that is different from what you ordered.
- Other Eligible Returns: Products that meet all eligibility criteria outlined in this policy and are returned within the 30-day return window.
Product Condition Requirements
To be eligible for a return, products must generally meet the following conditions:
- The product must be returned within 30 days from the date of delivery.
- Sealed products (such as Pokémon Booster Boxes, Elite Trainer Boxes, Premium Collections, Build & Battle Boxes, Booster Packs, Booster Bundles, and Blister Packs) must be factory-sealed and unopened unless the return is due to a damaged, defective, or incorrect product.
- Products must be in the same condition as when they were received, unless reporting damage or defects.
- All original packaging, components, and accessories must be included when possible.
3. Items That May Not Be Eligible for Return
Due to the nature of Pokémon trading card products and the collectible market, certain items and situations may not be eligible for return:
- Opened Sealed Products: Pokémon Booster Packs, Booster Boxes, Elite Trainer Boxes, Build & Battle Boxes, Blister Packs, and other sealed products that have been opened are generally not eligible for return unless they arrived damaged, defective, or incorrect.
- Randomized Product Contents: Returns are not accepted because of dissatisfaction with the specific cards pulled from randomized Pokémon products. Booster Packs, Booster Boxes, and similar products contain randomized card assortments, and specific cards, rarities, or pulls are never guaranteed.
- Minor Manufacturing Variations: Pokémon trading card products may exhibit minor factory variations, including slight differences in centering, print quality, coloring, foil patterns, or packaging. These are normal characteristics of mass-produced trading card products and are generally not considered defects.
- Products Not Purchased from Arc SportsCards: We can only accept returns for products purchased directly from arcsportscards.com.
- Products Returned After 30 Days: Items returned beyond the 30-day return window from the delivery date are not eligible.
