Refund Policy

Refund Policy

Last updated: August 23, 2026

At GridStream, we want you to shop with confidence. We're an independent multi-brand specialist for Baseus and Goal Zero power equipment, and we stand behind the products we sell. This refund policy explains your options if you need to return an item, how the process works, and what you can expect from us at every step.

Our 30-Day Return Promise

We want you to be completely satisfied with your purchase. If for any reason you're not, you may return eligible items within 30 days of delivery. This return window applies to all orders placed on gridstream.shop.

What Can Be Returned

To qualify for a return, the following conditions must be met:

• The item must be returned within 30 days of the delivery date.
• The product must be in its original condition, including all accessories, manuals, and packaging.
• Items should not show signs of damage caused by misuse, accidents, or unauthorized modifications.
• When applicable, the original proof of purchase (order number or email confirmation) must accompany the return request.

Non-Returnable Items

For health, safety, and hygiene reasons, certain categories may not be eligible for return once opened or used. If an item falls into a restricted category, this will be clearly noted on the product page before you complete your purchase.

How to Start a Return

Starting a return is simple. Here's what to do:

1. Contact our after-sales team by emailing after_sales@gridstream.shop within the 30-day return window.
2. Include the following information in your email:
   • Your order number
   • The product model and quantity being returned
   • The reason for the return
   • Any relevant photos (especially if the item arrived damaged or defective)
3. Our after-sales team will respond within 24 business hours with return instructions — including the correct return address and any necessary return authorization.

During business hours (Monday through Friday, 9:00 AM to 6:00 PM Eastern Time), you can also reach our primary support team at support@gridstream.shop if you have questions before initiating a return.

How We Process Returns

Step 1: Receiving Your Return

Once you've contacted us and received a return authorization, ship the item to the address we provide. We recommend using a trackable shipping method, as you're responsible for the item until it arrives at our facility.

Step 2: Inspection and Review

When we receive your returned item, we'll inspect it to confirm it meets the eligibility conditions outlined above. This review ensures the product is in its original condition and qualifies for a refund.

Step 3: Refund Issuance

After the inspection is complete and approved, we'll issue your refund using your original payment method — either your credit card or PayPal account. Refunds are typically processed promptly once the return is approved.

Refund Amount and Shipping Fees

Your refund amount depends on the reason for the return:

• If the item arrives damaged, is incorrect, or fails to match its product description — you'll receive a full refund, including the original shipping cost you paid, and we'll cover the return shipping charges.
• If you simply changed your mind or no longer need the item — you'll receive a refund for the purchase price, but the original shipping fee of $8.00 (or the standard shipping cost you paid) will be deducted from your refund. Return shipping costs for this scenario are the customer's responsibility.

Damaged, Incorrect, or Defective Items

If your order arrives damaged, with the wrong item, or with a clear manufacturing defect, we want to make it right — quickly and at no cost to you.

1. Notify us within the 30-day return window. Contact after_sales@gridstream.shop with your order number, a description of the issue, and photos showing the problem.
2. We'll review the evidence. In most cases, photos and a description are sufficient for us to confirm the issue and arrange a replacement or refund. If we need more information, we'll let you know.
3. You'll receive a prepaid return label for items that need to be sent back, or in some cases, we may issue a refund immediately without requiring a return.

Our quality assurance team works diligently to resolve these issues. If a response cannot be provided within the first response target, the ticket is escalated to the department supervisor to ensure you receive timely assistance.

Authenticity and Quality Guarantee

GridStream operates with a firm commitment to authenticity. Every product sold on our storefront is 100% genuine and sourced from authorized distributors or directly from the manufacturer's approved channels. We require valid invoices and batch traceability for every order we place.

Our merchandising team manually reviews each product page. Descriptions, specifications, and images must reconcile with the manufacturer's official documentation before a listing is approved. We reject listings with ambiguous or conflicting attributes.

If You Suspect a Product Is Not Authentic

While we're confident in our sourcing, sometimes customers have concerns. If you believe a product you received is not authentic, here's how we handle it:

1. Notify us by emailing quality_assurance@gridstream.shop with your order number, a clear description of the suspected issue, and photos of the product and its packaging. If possible, include the serial number or batch code.
2. We open an investigation within 48 business hours. Our quality assurance team creates a formal investigation ticket, documents the evidence, and may request additional samples.
3. We consult with the brand or distributor if necessary to verify the product against manufacturer records.
4. If the issue is confirmed, we provide a full refund including all shipping costs, and we reimburse any necessary return shipping charges. We also cooperate with the brand to trace the source and correct the gap.

We are committed to resolving all authenticity complaints with transparency and fairness. If a genuine issue is identified, we make it right — without requiring you to go through a prolonged dispute process. This commitment applies to every order, regardless of any discount or promotion applied.

Our Quality Control Process

Beyond authenticity, we perform spot checks on received inventory for physical condition, packaging intactness, and serial number registration. We also monitor customer return reasons and route any pattern of defects to our quality department for investigation and corrective action.

Exchanges

If you need a different model or size, the simplest path is to return the original item for a refund, then place a new order. This ensures you receive the correct item as quickly as possible. If you'd prefer an exchange instead, contact our after-sales team at after_sales@gridstream.shop and we'll do our best to arrange a direct swap when inventory is available.

Warranty Coverage

Warranty terms vary by product and are detailed on each product page. Some manufacturers provide limited warranties that extend beyond our 30-day return window. If you experience an issue after your return window has closed, our after-sales team can help you understand and file a warranty claim with the manufacturer. Complex warranty issues that require manufacturer involvement are documented and escalated to our quality assurance team.

What to Have Ready for Warranty Support

• Order number
• Product model and serial number (if available)
• Description of the issue

Shipping Information

When shipping your return back to us, you're responsible for the item until it arrives at our facility.
