Bluemercury tip
Exchanges can only be done in-store, not by mail, so mail-in returns are refund-only even if you wanted a swap; after 90 days a refund converts to store credit (gift card) instead of cash back to your card.
Peep Club tip
The Heated Eye Wand LED+ carries a separate 1-year warranty for replacements, so a malfunctioning device isn't stuck inside the standard 30-day return window.
