To be eligible for a refund the item must be unused and in the same condition that you received it and in the original packaging (ie resaleable).This was a really great project- I would recommend doing your homework on the butterflies and their lifespan first- ours lived their whole 2 wks as butterflies in the netted cage because I didn’t realize they were only dormant for a short period of time.
