Refunds & Cancellation Policy

Tilt is committed to providing a safe and trustworthy marketplace for everyone. To ensure a great experience for both buyers and sellers, please note that all bids are binding and all purchases are final.

That said, we know issues can come up. If you encounter a problem with your order, begin by contacting the seller directly through your Order Summary. You can also request a refund from the same page. Once submitted, the seller has five days to respond.

If you haven’t heard back or the issue isn’t resolved within 48 hours, feel free to reach out to us at [email protected] using the email linked to your Tilt account. Find out here about alternative methods of contacting us.
