Return & Exchange Policy
At Montessori Outlet, we inspect every product we ship in order to ensure our customers' satisfaction. Because we are very confident on the quality of our premium quality materials, we are pleased to offer returns and exchanges defined by the following two categories within 30 days from the delivery date. Due to the extreme discounts we offer, all sales become final after 30 days from the delivery date, and we do not accept any returns or exchanges at that time. All returns and exchanges must be in original packages. Each item will be carefully inspected upon receipt at our warehouse before decisions are made.
Category A: Manufacturer Defects & Shipping Damages
If a customer receives damaged, defective, missing, or incorrectly shipped items from Montessori Outlet, please give us a call within 30 days of the delivery date and our customer service representative will arrange replacements for you. Montessori Outlet will pay for the shipping of the replacement items. There will be no restocking fee if damaged or defective items are returned. Initial shipping charges will not be refunded. You may be asked to provide photos on damage / defective items to help us file the recovery claim with FedEx.
Category B: Personal Preferences
*Books are not returnable.
If items (except furniture) are returned or exchanged because of customers' personal preferences, a 15% restocking fee will be applied. Customers are responsible for the shipping costs of any returns and exchanges due to their personal preferences. Initial shipping charges will not be refunded. Please contact our customer service representative before you return or exchange any materials under this category.
Based on furniture manufacturers' return & exchange policy, a 20% restocking fee will be assessed by MO on behalf of the manufacturer(s) if the returning product has damaged packaging but in resalable condition. We are asked to reject any return/exchange request if any furniture item is assembled or damaged due to improper assembly. Customer will be responsible for all shipping fees on any furniture return/exchange request.
