  • The glass is NOT scratched.
  • The M-Series interface is not worn out.
  • The side of the lens isn’t dented or visually worn.

  • Dented or folded in lens hoods
  • Stripped bayonet interface.

FAQs

Reach out to hello@shopmoment.com with any further inquiries.

How much will I receive?

Assuming the lens is like-new we provide a $50 Moment store credit per lens. When you fill out your trade-in form, you can specify if you would like it applied to your T-Series order or added to your Moment Wallet for a future purchase.

Who is the trade-in program for?

Anyone around the world can participate in the trade-in program! We are opening this to all of our US and International based customers.

Do you provide a prepaid label?

You will be responsible for your own label and any import duties, customs, or taxes. You are also responsible for the package arriving at our door. Once it arrives we’ll take care of the rest.

It's too expensive to send back, do you have any other options?

Yes! If sending back your lenses is too much, we are alternatively offering a $25 store credit per lens. You will need to provide proof of purchase via the trade-in form.

What happens if I send back a denied trade-in?

You will still be eligible for the $25 credit per lens with proof of purchase. However, we will recycle them. If you are unsure about the condition of your lenses meeting the qualifications for trade, you can e-mail pictures of your lenses to our team at hello@shopmoment.com for pre-approval. We are not responsible for lenses sent in that do not meet the trade-in requirement. We do not have a way to send back these items to you and they will be considered as a donation for recycling.

Can I trade in more than one lens?

Yes, every additional lens will count as $25 per lens with proof of purchase or $50 per lens if sent in for physical trade.

Can I still trade in my lenses if I bought them as open box or used?

Unfortunately not. The Trade-In program does not apply to open box or used lens purchases.

Can I receive partial credit for cracked/broken lenses?

The trade-in program only accepts resealable like-new lenses. Moment is not responsible for returning unacceptable units or products that are denied by the trade-in program.

Can I use my credit towards anything in the store?

Yes! You can use the credits applied to your Moment Wallet on anything in the shop.

How long does it take for me to receive my credit?

Please allow 3-5 business days for us to process your trade or credit. If it's taking longer than that we will let you know.

Can I trade in O-Series lenses or cases?

Unfortunately the trade-in program only currently works with M-Series lenses.

Can I receive cash for my trade-in instead of credit?

Unfortunately, we cannot issue cash for trade-ins.

I just bought my lenses recently; they are barely used. Can I get more than $25?

Any lenses purchased before 8/15/23 will have an extended return period of 90 days from original purchase date instead of our standard 60. If you are looking to resell your product at full cost, the trade-in program may not be right for you. We recommend using third-party sites if you are looking to resell rather than trade in.
