Travelpro tip
That 100-day, no-questions-asked window and free return shipping is only for the main Travelpro line — the budget-friendly Essentials collection is locked to a much shorter 30-day window with paid return shipping unless it's actually defective.
Viator tip
The 24-hour cutoff runs against the experience's local start time, not against when you booked it, and it's overridden by whatever cancellation terms are printed on the specific listing—check the individual tour page, not Viator's general policy, before assuming you can cancel free.
