Our Refund Policy
------------------------
At Xtreamer, we are trying to give you the best value for money, not only by the products we provide but also after sales service and customer support. Due to some recent events, we like to explain our customer support and refund policy in more detail.

In a recent effort, one of the forum boards has gathered a group of people to cancel their order only to combine a new order, believing they can save in shipping costs and acquire the Xtreamer for less. We would like to stress this is not a welcome practice, neither will it provide the expected the outcome. Our offer is 1 Xtreamer at €99 delivered anywhere in the world for a flat fee of €20, regardless of destination.

To make it simpler, one Xtreamer costs €119 including shipment. Five Xtreamer’s cost €119 X 5 = €595

Please note, our sales manager would like to clarify, for refunds to orders that have already been made, we cannot refund the full amount. Fees paid to external partners will only be refunded if we can recover these.

We apologize for any inconvenience derived from previous communications that led to the recent chain of events. We have your best interest in mind and look forward to a long term relationship with our customers.
