Cancellations, Returns, Refunds, Exchanges, Replacements:

Cancellations

Most orders ship within 24-48 hours of receipt.  If your order has not yet shipped, you may attempt to cancel it by logging into the website and viewing your order history listed under 'My SM-S".

Click on the order you would like to cancel.  If the order is in a cancelable state, a "Cancel Order" button will be visible.  Clicking on this button will submit your cancellation request; however, it does not guarantee that your order will be cancelled.  We may not be able to cancel your order due to the timing of automated processes.  Your order history will be updated if we are able to cancel the order successfully.

If your order was ineligible for cancellation, depending upon the type of product purchased, you may be able to return the product(s) for refund or credit minus shipping and handling charges. Please contact contact us directly, should you have any questions or issues with an order cancellation.

Return & Refund Policy

If you are not completely satisfied with any hardcopy item purchased from the Store, you may return materials in salable condition within thirty (30) days for credit or refund minus the shipping/handling charges. Instructions for returning products are included with every order. Original shipping/handling charges are nonrefundable, and the customer is responsible for return shipping charges. To receive a credit or refund, you must enclose a copy of the packing slip from the original shipment with the returned product.

Downloadable (softcopy) items are non-refundable and non-returnable.

Exchanges

SM-S requests that you contact us directly to exchange an item. The quickest way to receive your new product is to order it immediately through the SM-S shopping cart. You will be charged when it ships and will receive credit for the product you’re exchanging when we receive it (see Return Policy for information and instructions).
