   • If the item is sold by a Third-Party seller who uses Amazon  to deliver to you, "Amazon" or "Prime One Day" will appear in the delivery information.

   • If the item is not eligible for Amazon Prime then third-party sellers handle customer service for orders shipped directly from them, so shipping and return policies will vary.These policies are outlined in detail and can be found by hovering over the seller name and selecting shipping rates and return policy in the offer description.
   • If you need help with a return to a Third-Party Seller, Amazon Customer Service can help reach out to the seller, and returns are subject to Third Party seller policies.
