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.
WelleCo tip
Because every SKU is ingestible, there's no wiggle room for a simple change-of-mind return — if a canister arrives damaged or wrong, photograph it immediately and contact support directly rather than assuming a standard return process exists.
