In compliance with California Business & Professions Code § 17500.3, the following terms are disclosed prior to purchase: a 14-day return window, a 20% restocking fee on non-defective returns, and customer-paid return shipping. By completing your purchase, you acknowledge and accept these terms.

1. Return Period

You have 14 calendar days from the date of delivery (as confirmed by the carrier’s “Delivered” tracking status or signed Bill of Lading) to initiate a return by requesting a Return Merchandise Authorization (RMA).

Returns requested after the 14-day period will not be accepted, except in the following cases:

Defective products covered under the manufacturer’s warranty or our store warranty (see Section 9);
Non-waivable consumer rights granted under applicable federal or state law.

2. Eligibility

To be eligible for a return, the item must meet all of the following conditions:

Unused and in the same condition as received;
In the original packaging, including pallet, box, foam, straps, and all protective materials where applicable;
Complete with all labels, accessories, manuals, bobbins, needles, presser feet, warranty cards, and inserts;
Accompanied by valid proof of purchase (order number or receipt);
Not listed as a non-returnable item (see Section 7).

Items that do not meet these conditions may be rejected, approved for a partial refund at our sole discretion, or returned to the customer at the customer’s expense.

3. How to start a return (RMA process)

Contact us first. Send jmjsewingmachines@gmail.com an email with your order number, a description of the item, and the reason for the return. DO NOT send the item back without authorization.
Receive an RMA. We will issue a Return Merchandise Authorization number and return instructions within 2 business days.
Merchandise Returns (50+ lb. Machines):
The pallet and original packaging must be intact and undamaged. Damaged packaging may void eligibility.
We will provide routing instructions for LTL cargo return.
You are responsible for refitting the machine if the original box is destroyed, paying for tailgate pickup, and all return shipping costs.
Pack securely. Include the RMA number visible on the return label and a copy of the packing slip inside. Use tracked and insured shipments — we are not responsible for returns lost in transit.
Confirmation. We will notify you by email when the return is received and inspected.

Returns without an RMA number will be rejected or delayed.

4. Return shipping costs

Customer's choice (change of mind, wrong choice, wrong size, etc.): The customer pays for the return shipping, including LTL freight, tailgate, packaging, and any terminal fees. Original shipping costs are non-refundable.
Our mistake (we sent the wrong item, item damaged by us when packing): We cover the return shipping. We can provide a prepaid return label or refund reasonable return shipping costs upon proof of payment.
Defective product detected within the return period: We cover the return shipment, as long as the inspection confirms the defect.

5. Replacement Rate — 20%

A 20% replacement fee is applied to all eligible returns that are not defective. This fee reflects:

re-inspection, repackaging and re-pallet costs;
Retesting of industrial equipment;
Depreciation of items resold as an "open box";
Handling of goods in heavy machinery.

The restocking rate is disclosed here and at the time of purchase for California Business and Professions Code § 17500.3

No restocking fee applies to:
- Defective or damaged items (see Sections 8 and 9);
- Items sent in error by us;
- Orders cancelled prior to shipment (Section 11).

Depending on your payment method or card issuer, it may take longer for the refund to appear in your account;
Original shipping charges are NOT refundable unless the return is due to our error or a defective product;
Refunds for returns caused by our error include the refund of the original shipment paid by the customer.

If you haven't received your refund within 14 business days of approval, check with your bank or card issuer first, and then contact us at jmjsewingmachines@gmail.com.
