1. Introduction
At Home & Kids Co., we strive to provide affordable, high-quality furniture that brings style and comfort to your home. You may notice that while many of our smaller items are returnable within a certain timeframe, we do not accept returns for furniture. This policy is rooted in our commitment to keeping prices low and passing those savings on to you. Below, we explain the key reasons behind this approach.
2. High Shipping & Handling Costs
- Heavy and Oversized Items – Unlike smaller items that are relatively simple to ship back, furniture often requires special freight handling and packaging.
- Increased Expenses – Arranging pickup, handling, inspection, and restocking for large pieces incurs significant costs, which would ultimately force us to raise our everyday prices if we accepted returns freely.
3. Quality Assurance Before Shipping
- Thorough Inspection – We conduct detailed checks of each furniture piece before it leaves our warehouse, ensuring you receive it in good condition.
- Damage on Return Trips – The risk of damage during multiple freight journeys is high, and damaged returns cannot be resold at the same level of quality.
4. Environmental Considerations
- Carbon Footprint – Shipping bulky furniture back and forth contributes to higher emissions. By limiting returns, we help reduce the environmental impact associated with freight transport.
- Waste Reduction – Returned items that suffer in-transit damage may end up disposed of rather than refurbished or reused.
5. Alternative Solutions
- Partial Refunds or Local Repairs – If you receive furniture that’s not in ideal condition, we can often help coordinate local fixes or issue partial refunds. This approach reduces hassle for you while minimizing extra shipping costs.
- Detailed Product Information – We provide as many measurements, photos, and descriptions as possible so you can make an informed decision before purchasing. If you have any questions about size, color, or materials, our Customer Care team is ready to help.
6. Keeping Costs Low for Everyone
By not accepting large furniture returns, we’re able to maintain our famously low prices—often 40–60% less than comparable products on the market. These savings empower you to furnish your space at an exceptional value while still enjoying high-quality pieces.
