Christmas Returns

We recognize that many customers do their holiday shopping in advance, consequently, it would not be possible to return gifts within the seven (7) or thirty (30) day time period. Please note that we will accept returns of items purchased between November 15 and when the college closes for Christmas break until January 31.
