Refund policy


We want you to love your Paper Shoot. If something isn't right, here's how returns work. We offer two types of returns: Standard Returns and Defective or Damaged Item Returns.

Standard Return and Refund Policy (All Customers)

We accept returns within 30 days of the shipment date, subject to the following conditions:
- Items must be unused and in their original packaging.
- All original parts, accessories, documentation, and packaging must be included and fully intact.
- Batteries that have been unwrapped and memory cards that have been used cannot be returned. Please keep them, and their value will be deducted from your refund.
- Custom cameras are made to order and cannot be returned, unless they arrive defective or damaged.
- Gift cards are non-refundable.

Shipping costs:

- Outbound and return shipping costs are non-refundable.
- If your order qualified for free shipping, the original outbound shipping cost will be deducted from your refund:
  - US orders: USD $12 to $25
  - International orders: USD $30 to $50, depending on destination
- Import duties and taxes are non-refundable. Customers are responsible for reclaiming these through their local customs authority.
- US customers: sales tax will be refunded in full.

All returns are inspected on arrival. Paper Shoot reserves the right to refuse a refund or assess a restocking fee if a returned item shows signs of use or damage, or is missing original parts or packaging.

Once your return passes inspection, we will initiate your refund within 7 business days. Depending on your bank or payment provider, it can take an additional 5 to 10 business days to appear in your account.

Order Cancellations

Orders can be cancelled before they ship. Once an order has shipped, it cannot be cancelled, and you can start a return once it arrives.

Defective or Damaged Items

If your item arrived defective or was damaged in transit, please do not submit a standard return. Contact us at service@papershoot.com within 30 days of delivery with:
- Your order number
- The email address used at checkout
- Photos clearly showing the defect or damage

Our team will review your case and provide a resolution, which may include a replacement, repair, or refund. We cover all shipping costs for defective or damaged item returns.

How to Start a Return

Use our self-service return portal. Please have your order number, the email address used at checkout, and photos of the items you wish to return ready before you begin.
