Money Back Guarantee – Prehistoric Fossils Return Policy
Money Back Guarantee protection is important when purchasing genuine fossils online. At Prehistoric Fossils, we want you to feel confident about your purchase. Therefore, we provide clear photographs and detailed descriptions so you can carefully review each fossil before placing your order.
Because every fossil is a unique natural specimen, we strongly encourage customers to examine all available photographs and descriptions before purchasing. If you are unsure about the condition, size, color, preparation, restoration, or appearance of an item, please contact us before ordering. We are happy to provide additional photographs whenever possible.
Money Back Guarantee for an Incorrectly Described Item
If you receive a fossil that is materially different from the photographs or description of the item you ordered, please contact us promptly. Once the return is approved and the fossil is received by us in the same condition in which it was shipped, we will issue a full refund for that item.
In this situation, our Money Back Guarantee also includes reimbursement of the original shipping charge when applicable to that returned item.
Returns Because You Changed Your Mind
We understand that occasionally a customer may receive an item and decide that they simply do not like it. However, all returns require our approval before the item is shipped back.
If an approved return is based on personal preference rather than an error in the photographs or description, the buyer is responsible for insured return shipping. Once the item arrives in its original condition, we will refund the purchase price of the item only.
Original shipping charges are not refundable for preference-based returns. In addition, a $10.00 restocking fee will be deducted from the refund.
Multiple Item Returns Are Not Accepted
Prehistoric Fossils is not a fossil approval service. Therefore, we do not accept returns involving multiple items that were purchased so the buyer could select preferred specimens and return the remainder.
This policy helps protect our inventory from being used for temporary selection, resale evaluation, crafting projects, or similar purposes. For that reason, customers should carefully review each specimen before placing an order.
Return Approval and Seven-Day Return Period
All returns must receive prior approval from Prehistoric Fossils. In addition, approved returns must be sent back within 7 days of the buyer receiving the order.
Returned fossils must be securely packaged and must arrive in the same condition in which they were originally shipped. Preference-based returns must also be sent with insurance at the buyer’s expense.
Our Money Back Guarantee Helps You Buy with Confidence
Our Money Back Guarantee is designed to protect customers when an item does not match the photographs and description provided on our website. At the same time, our return policy recognizes that every fossil is individually photographed and sold as a unique specimen.
Therefore, we encourage every customer to review the listing carefully before purchasing. Clear photographs, accurate descriptions, and direct communication help reduce misunderstandings and allow collectors to make informed buying decisions.
Questions Before Purchasing a Fossil?
If you have any questions about a fossil before placing your order, please contact us. We would rather provide additional information or photographs before your purchase than have you receive an item you were uncertain about.

Money Back Guarantee Summary: If an item is not what you ordered based on its photographs and description, we will provide a full refund for that item after it is returned in its original condition. Approved preference-based returns receive a refund of the item price only, less the $10.00 restocking fee, and the buyer is responsible for insured return shipping. All returns require approval and must be returned within 7 days of receipt.
