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.
