Wholesale Store Returns Policy

Original Condition Return Policy

Orders on our Wholesale Store are committed POs that are non-cancellable and non-refundable. We also cannot make changes to or delay shipping timelines in the case of a committed PO.

In certain circumstances, we may allow returns or exchanges if the items are in original, unopened, unused condition. If you have a question about a particular return or exchange, please contact us via our support portal within 15 days of receipt of your order. A restocking fee will be calculated and deducted from your refund.

Items on Reels or Trays

If your order includes items on reels or in trays, such as the P1 or P0, or items in trays, such as the Electron trays or Photon trays, and the vacuum-sealed bag on the reel or tray has been opened, the units are no longer in original condition. Because of the moisture sensitivity of these units, we can not guarantee their condition for other customers after they have been unsealed.

Modified or Opened Product Return Policy

If you are struggling with a Particle product or aren’t satisfied with your purchase, our team of support engineers will help you determine the issue in our standard troubleshooting process.

In the case of demonstrable manufacturing issues or failure due to defective materials, we will troubleshoot and replace the item(s) as needed.
