REFUND & RETURNS POLICY
Return Eligibility
Safari Cards PDX accepts returns within 90 days from the delivery date. We accept returns for both defective and non-defective products, as well as new and slightly used products. To be eligible for a return, items should meet the following criteria:
- The return request must be initiated within 90 days from the date the order was delivered.
- Products should be unused and in their original condition whenever possible.
- Factory-sealed products should remain sealed and unopened whenever possible for non-defective returns.
- Products that have been opened may still be returned if they are in acceptable condition.
- We accept returns of both defective and non-defective products.
- We accept returns of new and slightly used products.
Collectible Trading Card Considerations
Because Safari Cards PDX specializes in collectible trading cards — including basketball cards, soccer cards, baseball cards, football cards, Pokémon cards, Magic: The Gathering cards, Panini products, and Topps products — please keep in mind:
- Randomized products (such as booster packs, hobby boxes, and blaster boxes) contain random card assortments. The specific cards pulled from randomized products are not grounds for a return.
- Minor manufacturing variations such as slight centering differences, minor edge variations, and factory-standard surface textures are common in collectible trading cards and are generally not considered defects.
- Product images on our website are representative. Actual card appearances and packaging may vary due to manufacturer production processes.
- Third-party grading results (e.g., PSA, BGS, CGC, SGC) for ungraded cards purchased from Safari Cards PDX are not grounds for a return, as grading outcomes are subjective and determined by the grading company.
How to Initiate a Return
To start a return, please follow these steps:
