Restocking Fees & Replacement Items

If Camera Bar Management determines, in its sole discretion, that an item is returnable but does not meet all of our guidelines, a restocking fee will be applied to the return. Restocking fees are a minimum 15% of the original purchase price of the item. The fee charged may increase according to the item's condition, the state of the item's packaging and the item value. Returns that are incomplete of any original accessories will also be charged the retail value for a replacement item. Camera Bar reserves the right to refuse the refund of any product that does not meet these criteria.
