For our "Best Stuff" mattresses you have until the 365th day to request your return or exchange.  Where permitted by law, a pick up fee will be charged for our delivery team to pick up the mattress or foundation from its location and a 15% usage and processing fee* will apply.

Some exclusions apply as certain items are not returnable (see “Non-Returnable Items” below), some item returns are subject to different time limits (see “Time Limits” below) and a restocking fee may apply for some items (see “Fees” below). All Sears Marketplace items MUST be returned directly to the Marketplace Seller and CANNOT be returned to Sears or Kmart (see “Return Processing” below).

Non-Returnable Items

All items are eligible for return per this policy except for the following:

• Apparel or footwear that have labels or tags removed or have been worn

Time Limits

Return requests must be submitted within 30 days of delivery except for refurbished Consumer Electronics items which must be submitted within 14 days after the item is received.

Fees

No fees are charged for processing a return or cancellation if the item received is incorrect, defective or where prohibited by law. Fees may be charged in the following circumstances:

• A cancellation fee of up to 15% may be charged if a built-to-order or personalized item is cancelled more than one day after purchase but prior to shipment.

•  A pick-up fee may be charged if a Marketplace Seller arranges for a carrier to pick up the item.
• If an item is normally non-returnable, a Marketplace Seller may, at its sole discretion, choose to accept the return but charge a restocking fee.

 

Return Processing

All item returns must be requested by the original buyer by contacting the Marketplace Seller prior to returning the item.  The preferred method is via the online order center, but the Marketplace Seller’s customer service email or phone may be used. Once the Marketplace Seller has approved the item for return, the item must be returned directly to the Marketplace Seller in new condition, with the original packaging and any included product manuals, parts and/or accessories along with the order invoice/receipt.

 

Exchanges

Except where noted above, exchanges are usually not allowed. A Marketplace Seller may choose, at its sole discretion, to allow an item to be exchanged instead of returned as an exception provided that the items being exchanged are the same price.
