MION.USA Return Policy
Return Policy
At MION, we strive to accurately describe and grade every used vinyl record we sell. Please review our return policy carefully. It reflects U.S. consumer law and fair business practices.
1. Eligibility for Returns
We accept returns if:
- The item is damaged or defective upon arrival.
- The item is materially not as described (e.g. wrong title, inaccurate condition, missing listed components).
- You received the wrong item.
We do not accept returns for buyer’s remorse or if you simply change your mind.
2. Record Grading and Description Accuracy
We grade all records using the Goldmine standard and do our best to describe condition and included items (e.g. OBI strips, inserts, posters) accurately.
Please note: We use sample images for listings. The actual item may differ visually. Please rely on the written description for purchase decisions.
3. Missing Item Claims (e.g. OBI strip, insert)
If an item you received is missing a component that was listed in the description:
- Please contact us within 7 days of delivery.
- Partial refunds will not be issued without the full item being returned for verification.
- If the claim is confirmed after return, we will issue a full or partial refund and cover return shipping.
- If we verify that all described components were included, no refund will be issued and we may return the item at your expense.
4. Faulty or Misdescribed Items
- Please notify us within 7 days of delivery if your item is materially defective or misdescribed.
- If we agree the issue warrants a return, we will provide return instructions and cover shipping.
