5. Secure Refund Issuance

Method: Refunds are strictly issued to the original payment source (Credit Card or PayPal) used for the purchase.
Security: All transactions are processed through encrypted, secure systems to protect your financial data.

MISSING A REFUND?

If you haven't received your refund yet:

Re-check your bank or PayPal statement.
Contact your financial institution; there is often a "pending" period before a refund is officially posted.
If you have followed these steps and still need assistance, contact us at support@thebeautybarge.com for your transaction ID.
