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.
Hommi tip
Don't ship anything back before getting approval first — the policy explicitly says items sent without prior authorization won't be accepted, so always email [email protected] and wait for a response before mailing a return.
