Return policy

 

What is Wayfair’s general return policy?

We accept returns for most items within 30 days of delivery. The item(s) must be in its original, undamaged condition. If the packaging is too damaged, use a similar-sized box or one no longer than 108 inches. If the item was delivered disassembled, it should be returned disassembled. If packaging was removed as part of the delivery process, no packaging will be needed.

 

What is Wayfair’s mattress return policy?

Every mattress comes with a 100-night free trial. If you don't love your new mattress within the first 100 nights, you can arrange a return for free to store credit, or to your original payment method for a fee ranging from $49-$99. This excludes Mattress Toppers, Crib Mattresses, Air Mattresses, and Open Box Mattresses. Some payment methods (e.g. financing payment options) might not be eligible for store credit refunds - if Store Credit does not appear as an option when setting up the return, this is likely due to your original payment method.

 

How do exchanges work?

We initiate a refund once the item has been received and checked at our warehouse. For store credit, this takes 24 hours from initiation, and 3-5 business days for refunds to the original payment method. You can either order your new item before returning the old one or wait until your refund has been received to place the new order.

Where applicable, your return ship fee will be automatically deducted from the refund amount.

Retailers selling mattresses in CT, RI, or CA must collect a state-mandated Mattress Recycling Fee from customers. The fee is based on your shipping address or postal code and can range from $10-$25. It applies to all mattress purchases in these states, regardless of whether you are recycling an old mattress. The fee is non-refundable, as mandated by state law, and is not subject to sales tax.

 

What is Wayfair’s large appliance return policy?

You can return a large appliance within 48 hours of delivery as long as it has not been installed and is returned in the original packaging. In some cases, you might have to pay the manufacturer's restocking fee.

Please take the following steps before installing the appliance:

1) Scan the box for damage.
2) Make sure the product name and model number match your order confirmation.
3) Remove the packaging and inspect the appliance.

If you receive the wrong item or it arrives damaged, don't accept the delivery. Tell your delivery representative(s) and contact us so we can arrange for a replacement. Once you have installed the appliance, it cannot be returned.

 

What is Wayfair’s extended return policy for holiday purchases?

For all items purchased between November 1 and December 31 (except Appliances as described above), the deadline to return them is extended until January 31.

 

Which items can’t be returned?

There are several items that can't be returned:

Open Box items

Clearance items

Gift cards

Personalized items

Items bundled at discounted rates (unless the entire bundle is returned)

Items marked as "Non-Returnable" on the sale page

Live plants
