Include photos of the damage of the piece as well as photos of the box and packaging in the state it was upon arrival. If I have additional inventory, I will replace your item. If it is out of stock or you purchased a one-of-a-kind item, I will refund your order minus the cost of taxes & credit card fees already paid. Replacing items damaged during shipping without cost is only available if I receive a message from you with photos within 1 week of the package arriving, per the tracking number delivery date.
