Avenlur tip
Avenlur's 5-year defect replacement warranty is separate from the 30-day return window - past 30 days you can only get free parts/replacement for manufacturing defects, not a refund, and change-of-mind returns always incur a 20% restocking fee.
Disney Store tip
Limited-edition pins and blind boxes are final sale the second you check out, so don't count on being able to return a mystery box that didn't get you the character you wanted.
