SAKURA MERCHANDISE EXCHANGE / RETURN POLICY

  • Please note - All policies are subject to change or revision without notice.

You may exchange or return a product within 60 days of receiving it except for books, videos, custom items, and items purchased from the clearance and closeout sections of our site. Be sure to contact our Customer Service Department before returning certain personal items such as groin protection and mouth guards.  New merchandise that is suitable for resale (not worn, unwashed, unaltered and unsoiled) may be returned for an exchange, store credit, or a full refund within 14 days of receiving the item. If new merchandise is returned within 15 – 60 days of receipt of merchandise, there is a 15% restocking charge; after 60 days goods will not be accepted. Merchandise received after 60 days will be returned to the customer at the customer's expense. There can be no exchanges / returns on custom, clearance, or closeout products. 

IMPORTANT: You must fill out and submit the Merchandise Exchange / Return Form at the bottom of this page before you send any merchandise back. All merchandise must be received within 10 days of the on-line form submission. Merchandise received after 10 days will not be accepted.

For quality control purposes, all merchandise that qualifies for an exchange, return, or replacement must first be sent back to Sakura for inspection. Exchange / replacement merchandise cannot be sent out until after the original merchandise has been received and inspected by Sakura. Sakura is not responsible for shipping / handling charges on returned merchandise. Carrier pickup labels are not issued. Return shipping fees are reimbursed when applicable. All merchandise for exchanges / returns must be returned prepaid in the original packaging in resale condition. It is not necessary to require a signature, delivery confirmation, or insurance on return packages. Please include a copy of your invoice with your return merchandise. A 15% handling / restocking fee may be deducted from any credits or refunds issued if the merchandise is not returned within 14 days, by special arrangement, or in the original packaging and in resale condition. Items that have been washed, worn or used are not considered to be in resale condition and may be returned to the customer at the customer's expense.

DAMAGED GOODS / MISSING ITEMS

The Sakura Shipping Team makes every effort to protect products from being damaged during shipping.  We quality inspect each item before being packed, and we would never knowingly ship a defective or damaged item. On rare occasions, packages and / or merchandise may be damaged by the carrier service during the delivery process. If there appears to be shipping damage, you need to do the following:

  • Carefully inspect all received merchandise for damage or missing items.
  • If merchandise is damaged, contact our Customer Service Department to inform us of the incident.
  • If merchandise is missing, first check your invoice for notations about items being sold out or discontinued at the time of shipping.
  • If merchandise is missing due to carrier mishandling, contact our Customer Service Department to inform us of the incident.
  • Do not discard any cartons or packaging materials. The carrier may wish to inspect them.
  • Wait for a prompt E-Mail response with further instructions from our Customer Service Department.
  • Please do NOT return the merchandise unless instructed to do so by our Customer Service Department.
  • Please do NOT use expedited services to return merchandise. Sakura will not reimburse for expedited return shipping.

Please Note: Vendor policies for handling defective merchandise supercede Sakura's policy.
