Return & Refund Policy

Last Updated: July 27, 2026

At Pokémon Center TCG, we strive to deliver authentic, high-quality Pokémon Trading Card Game products. Because sealed TCG items hold collectible value and are highly sensitive to tampering, we enforce clear and fair return guidelines to protect both our customers and product integrity.
By placing an order, you agree to the terms outlined in this policy.

Returns Eligibility

We accept returns under specific, strict conditions. To be eligible for a return or refund, the following criteria must be met:•You must submit a return request within 14 days of confirmed delivery.•You must keep items unused, unopened, and factory-sealed.•You must return products in their original packaging, including all contents and plastic wrapping.•You must provide a valid proof of purchase (your order number).We inspect every returned item thoroughly before approving a refund. If the product does not meet these conditions—for example, if the seal is broken or the packaging is damaged—we reserve the right to deny the return.
