Paddling back

Sometimes a thing needs to swim home — the wrong size Halti, a second can when one was plenty. Because every sale here happens on Amazon, every return does too, under Amazon's own return policy for the listing you bought from.

The route is the usual one: Amazon account, Your Orders, find the item, Return or Replace. Amazon issues the label, names the window — typically thirty days, though the listing's own policy governs — and handles the refund without this site ever entering the water.

For the spray itself, one honest caveat: opinions vary on returning pressurized cans, and individual listings may say pierced-or-used cans cannot paddle back. Break the safety seal only once you are sure of the size — or start with the 50 mL, which is the cheapest way to be sure.

If a return goes sideways and Amazon's support has not untangled it, write to us at [email protected]. We cannot reach into Amazon's systems, but we have seen most of the knots and can usually point at the right thread.
