How returns work

You then select the items to return, provide a reason with relevant details and photos, and repack the products securely. After you receive approval via email, you ship the items back using either a prepaid label or your own shipping at your expense, depending on the return reason.

Exclusions and restrictions

Viking Bags does not accept returns on several categories: drilled bags that have been modified during installation, items that are scratched or damaged from wear or use, bags with missing hardware or manuals, items without their key, and clearance items marked as final sale. Damaged or defective products must be reported within 10 days to qualify for prepaid return shipping and a full refund or replacement.
