Order/Return Questions

When you place an order on lifeproof.com, we must contact your credit card's bank to ensure that your credit card has a valid number. This is done via a full authorization for the amount of the purchase and is merely a security measure we use to protect your financial information. While it may seem as though you have multiple charges on your credit card, these are not charges. They are authorizations that will drop off of your statement (if your order did not go through) typically within 2 – 3 business days. We only charge a credit or debit card after an order has shipped, and we only charge the card once. If these authorizations are causing problems, you can simply call your bank to get them removed. If you experience further problems, please contact our customer service team and we would be happy to help in any way possible.

We’re sorry you’re experiencing unexpected delays in your order. Here is a list of possible reasons as to why your order is not processing:

  • The billing address that is on the order does not match the billing address where the card statement is mailed to.
  • Unavailable funds
  • For most credit cards, enter the three-digit number that follows your account number on the back of your card. If you have an American Express card, enter the four-digit number printed above your account number on the front of your card.
  • Incorrect credit card number or expiration date.

Due to our automated system, orders are automatically submitted to our fulfillment department as soon as they are submitted online. We are experiencing significant delays in our support services due to measures taken to reduce the spread of COVID-19. At the moment, we are exceeding a 72 hour response time and in some cases longer. Please note, we are unable to cancel or modify orders placed online. We appreciate your patience and understanding.

We will accept returns within 30 days of the original purchase only if the product was purchased directly from LifeProof.asia. You can read more on returns here.
