Returning an item 7
Arranging a Return
To have an item picked up, contact our Customer Care department by phone, email or fax with the invoice number it was purchased on. Ask for the return within 30 days to avoid a restocking fee, and keep the item in its original carton.
Items Ordered by Mistake
Sierra will happily credit returned merchandise as long as it’s in resalable condition. See the return guidelines below.
Non-Returnable
Special orders of non-stocked merchandise, food, pharmaceuticals, freight charges, dated goods, factory authorized installation, and some technology items are not returnable unless we shipped the wrong product.
Furniture Returns
Most furniture is a special order and is not returnable. If it was ordered from Sierra’s main catalog and is still in the original carton, or meets the return guidelines below, we’ll do our best to return it. Delivery charges, freight charges, and installation charges are non-refundable. In some cases there may be a restocking charge. We’ll credit you once our supplier credits us. If the product is damaged or wrong, please contact your sales representative.
Printing Returns
All printing is a special order and is not returnable. If we have printed an item in error, please contact our printing Customer Care department.
Ready-to-Assemble Furniture
Ready-to-assemble furniture is not returnable if the manufacturer’s carton has been opened and the item has been assembled.
Electronics
Electronic items are covered by the manufacturer’s warranty. Manufacturers hold Sierra to their terms, so if a manufacturer won’t credit us for a return, we may not be able to credit you. Warranty information comes with the product; if you’ve misplaced it, call Customer Care and we’ll help you find it.
Reporting a problem 5
Damaged Merchandise
All damaged merchandise must be reported within 5 days of receipt. Please give an exact description of the damage.
Warehouse Errors
All warehouse errors (wrong fills and shortages) need to be reported within 5 working days of receipt. Please give our Customer Care department the invoice number the error occurred on.
Defective Items
Defective items must be reported within 30 days. If a product becomes defective after 30 days, our Customer Care department will be happy to give you the manufacturer’s contact information.
Over-Shipped Items
If you receive merchandise that you didn’t order or that otherwise doesn’t belong to you, please let our Customer Care department know. Sierra will arrange an “overship” pick-up.
Credit Discrepancies
Discrepancies with your credit that occur after merchandise has been returned should be reported within 10 days of receipt of the credit. Reporting promptly helps us investigate and track the returned product.
