Here’s how it works: Purchase: The $200 refundable core charge is included in the price of the set. Return: You are responsible for shipping your old heads (cores) back to us. Returned heads must be free of cracks and broken bolts. Inspection: Once we receive them, we send the cores out for inspection. This process can take a few weeks. Refund: If the cores are in reusable condition, we’ll refund the full $200. If the cores are not reusable, no refund will be issued and you will be notified. If you’d like them returned, you will be responsible for shipping costs. We explain this policy upfront so there are no surprises, our goal is to make the process smooth and transparent.
