Return Policy

At American Leather Direct, we stand behind the quality of our leather products. We want you to be completely satisfied with your purchase.

30-Day Return Window: Items may be returned within 30 days of delivery for a refund, subject to the conditions below. Customers are responsible for return shipping costs.

A 15% restocking fee applies to any returned items from orders over $500.

Returns at Our Expense: American Leather Direct will cover return shipping costs and waive the restocking fee when we shipped the wrong item.

Non-Eligible Returns: We cannot accept returns for:

• Leather that has been cut, altered, or worked in any way.
• Custom orders or special-cut pieces such as leather straps, leather panels, mousepads, coasters.
• Any Items after 30 days from delivery date.

Damaged or Lost Packages

If your package arrives damaged or does not arrive at all, please contact us immediately at info@aleatherd.com with your order number and photos of any damage. We will work with the shipping carrier to file a claim and resolve the issue. All claims for damaged or lost packages must be reported within 7 days of the expected delivery date.

Return Shipping Costs

Customers are responsible for return shipping charges unless the return is due to our error (wrong item shipped). Please note: the original shipping cost is not refunded upon return of the product.

Restocking Fee

Orders Over $500: A 15% restocking fee applies to returned items from orders totaling over $500, except when the return is due to our error (wrong item shipped). This fee helps offset the costs associated with processing returns, quality inspection, and restocking.

Orders $500 or Less: No restocking fee applies to these orders. You will only be responsible for return shipping costs.

Leather Samples

We understand the importance of selecting the right leather for your project. If you need to evaluate leather thickness, color, or temper before committing to a larger order, please order our leather panels. These panels allow you to assess the leather without the cost and waste associated with full side returns.
