Refund Policy

Effective date: May 1, 2025  ·  Last updated: May 14, 2025
Summary: AI grading tokens are automatically refunded if a grading job fails. Physical grading orders may be cancelled before cards are shipped to us. Once cards are received at our facility, grading fees are non-refundable.

1. AI Grading Tokens

Automatic refund on failure — If your AI grading job fails for any reason (e.g., a service interruption or an unreadable photo), the tokens charged for that job are automatically returned to your account. No action is required on your part.

No refund on successful grading — Tokens consumed for a completed grading job are non-refundable, as the AI analysis has been performed and the result is available.

Token bundle purchases — Token bundle purchases are final once completed. Unused tokens do not expire, so you can use them at any time. If you experience a technical issue that prevented tokens from being credited to your account after purchase, contact us within 14 days and we will investigate and correct the issue.

2. Physical Grading Orders

Before shipping your cards — You may request a full cancellation and refund of your physical grading order at any time before we confirm receipt of your cards. Contact us at support@tcgstreet.com with your order number.

After cards are received — Once we confirm receipt of your cards at our facility, grading fees are non-refundable. Grading work begins immediately upon receipt.

Declared value and insurance fees — These fees are non-refundable once the order has been processed, as they cover third-party insurance costs.

Return shipping fees — Return shipping fees are non-refundable once a FedEx label has been generated for your order.

3. Lost or Damaged Cards

We take the utmost care with every card submitted for physical grading. In the unlikely event that a card is lost or damaged while in our custody, we will work with you to file a claim against the declared value insurance you selected at checkout. Our maximum liability is limited to the declared value of the card as stated on the order.

We may update this policy from time to time. The current version will always be posted at tcgstreet.com/refund. Continued use of the service constitutes acceptance of the current policy.
