What you pay

You cover return shipping, customs charges and any other fees, unless the product is returned because of a defect and is under warranty. We don't provide prepaid return labels for standard returns and we don't reimburse these costs. Because the package goes to the United States, customs charges may apply to you.

Your refund

We refund your original payment method after our warehouse team receives and processes your item. Allow up to 15 days from the day we receive it.

  • Original shipping charges are not refundable.
  • Duty fees, if you paid any, are not refundable.

Common questions

I'm in the UK. Can you send a warranty replacement?

Yes, if you bought it through LifeStraw.com and it's still within the 3-year warranty period. Email us first and we'll walk you through it. If you bought from a retailer, find a local distributor: Find an authorized seller or local distributor.

Can I just ship it without emailing first?

No. Email us first with the items you want to return and your purchase date.

Will you send me a prepaid label?

No, not for standard returns. You arrange and pay for the shipping. If you're returning a defective product that's under warranty, contact us first.

What if my package is lost on the way back?

We're not responsible for returned products lost in transit. Use a trackable carrier and send us the tracking number.

Will you refund the customs fees I paid?

No. Customs charges and duty fees aren't reimbursed.

I bought from Amazon or a store, not LifeStraw.com.

These steps don't apply. Contact the retailer, or see Bought from a retailer.

What if a shipment to me can't be delivered?

If a shipment from us is undeliverable because of an incorrect address or a delivery access issue, you are responsible for the cost of reshipping it to you.
