How It Works

1. Order this service — set quantity to match the number of carts you're sending in (e.g., quantity 3 = 3 carts at $9.99 each)
2. Ship your carts to us — pack securely and ship at your expense. You'll receive our mailing address in your order confirmation email.
3. Include your order info — place a printed or handwritten slip inside the package with your order number, name, and number of carts so we can match your shipment to your order.
4. We clean and restore — turnaround is 3–5 business days after we receive your carts.
5. We ship them back — return shipping is included in the service price.
