Worry-Free Purchase protection covers shipping-related damages to the point that the item(s) are unusable, clearly fractured, shattered, bent (if not bendable), crushed, etc., but does not cover cosmetic damage (scratches, dents, etc.), manufacturing damage to component parts or defects, packaging errors, or unsealed items. The compensation for damaged items will be up to the value paid for the purchased item(s).

If your Worry-Free Purchase protection covers theft, you should report issues of theft within 7-days of the date of delivery through the Seel Resolution Center.

If your Worry-Free Purchase protection covers loss, you can report a lost package once 30-days have passed. Please initiate the request through the Seel Resolution Center using your email and order number found on the confirmation email. Seel does not cover issues where the item is not shipped out, please contact us directly.

If you purchase Worry-Free Purchase protection with your order and it includes the ability to return, you will have 7-days to return your item to Seel via the Seel Resolution Center.

The cost of the Seel Worry-Free Purchase protection or Seel-generated return shipping label is not refunded as part of the payout. Additionally, the cost of original shipping is not refunded as part of a payout.

A return shipping label will be provided when you report your return request through the Seel Resolution Center. Simply log in using your email and order number found in your confirmation email and follow the steps.

If your Worry-Free Purchase protection includes returns, you have 7-days from the time you request the return in the Seel Resolution Center to ship the product(s) back, either using a Seel-generated label, or a self-purchased label.

If you opt for a self-purchased label, we do require that you provide that tracking number to Seel within the Seel Resolution Center on the Reported Issue page.
