How long do returns take?
For refunds to original payment method, please allow up to 14 business days from when we receive the items for your account to be refunded.
We work as quickly as we can to inspect returns upon arrival and issues refunds promptly. Generally we're faster than this but 14 business days is our standard policy.
I removed the tag on the item I purchased, can I still return or exchange the item?
Unfortunately, we cannot accept items that have been worn or the tags removed. We have to enforce this policy to keep our customers happy and healthy.
I received the incorrect items, how can I get this fixed?
It's rare for this to happen but if you believe you have recieved and incorrect item we apologize for the mixup!
Upon receipt of an incorrect item you will need to request a return and refund following the same procedures and policies for any other return for a refund.
HOWEVER before shipping the item back you must send an email to support@liefrunning.com with your name, order number and explanation of which incorrect item(s) you received so that we know not to deduct the return and restocking fee of $6.95. If it was an error on our part we will not deduct this fee from your refund.
You can find information on this process here: Return & Refund Policy
I was refunded less than I paid initially, what gives?
This could be happening for two reasons:
- If you paid for shipping on your order: Shipping is not refunded because it is a service already completed (we can't get a refund from the carrier).
- If you are doing a return: there is a $6.95 fee to cover return shipping and restocking.
ORDER & PAYMENT
Order Changes
If you place an online order and the payment is successful the team in our warehouse will often begin picking, packing and shipping your order within 10 minutes. For this reason it is generally not possible to make a change on an order after it is placed.
However if you know you made an error on your order please email support@liefrunning.com as quickly as possible and if we are able to make the change before the item is packed and shipped we will do so. It is rare that we are able to intervene and make a change in this situation, but if we are successful, we will ship the corrected item you request and not charge the $6.95 return & restocking fee.
We have a very low rate of returns and believe it is best for our customers if we ship items as quickly as possible. The downside is that if you place an order with an incorrect item or shipping address it is not typically possible to make corrections before the warehouse team picks, packs and ships your item(s). These dudes are FAST!

Partnering
How can I become a LIEF Ambassador?
- We ask that any new interested partners first do a try-out by creating and re-sharing a video or some pics of them and our gear to start.
- If you don't have any of our gear, you're not ready to become a partner just yet. We only accept customers as partners and ambassadors.
- However, if we like the images and videos you create and share, we’ll issue credit or refund the cost of the items you purchased and talk about a partnership!
- If you have created and shared some content in our gear, please send an email to support@liefrunning.com with links your posts (they must be publicly available). We will review the content and get back to you as soon as possible.
- You should also sign up for our referral program which allows you to refer people and get a $20 credit for every successful referral. See more details HERE. The referral program is the first stop in becoming an ambassador for LIEF. Those who show success promoting their referral link can be considered for partnerships.
- We place a high importance on any ambassador being an existing customer with at least one order. This is the only way for you to know how great our product is so you can speak truthfully about LIEF in any promotions.
