Refund policy

Last updated: January 10, 2026.

1. Overview

At Maintainedhouse.com, we want you to feel confident shopping for home essentials like towels, bedding, robes, blankets, and bedroom lighting. If something isn’t right, we offer a clear and straightforward return process to make things easy for you.

This policy explains how returns, refunds, and exchanges work for customers within the United States.
If you have questions at any point, our support team is always here to help.

2. 30-Day Return Window

You have 30 days from the day your order is delivered to request a return.

We accept returns for most items as long as they meet the eligibility criteria listed in the next section.
If you need assistance at any point, our support team is here to guide you through the process.

3. Return Eligibility

To qualify for a return, items must meet the following conditions:

Soft Goods (Towels, Bathrobes, Bedding, Blankets, Mats)

  • Items must be unused, unwashed, and in their original condition.

  • All accessories, ties, or packaging that came with the item should be included.

  • We cannot accept items that show signs of use, wear, washing, or strong odors.

Bedroom Lighting & Fragile Items

  • Items must be uninstalled and in their original condition.

  • Original packaging is strongly recommended to ensure safe transport.

  • If the original box is unavailable, you may use equivalent protective packaging (foam, padding, sturdy box) to prevent damage during return transit.

General Eligibility Conditions

  • Returns must be authorized by our team before sending the item back.

  • Items returned without authorization may be delayed or rejected.

  • Items damaged due to improper return packaging may affect refund eligibility.

We aim to be fair and flexible while ensuring products remain in resellable condition for all customers.

4. Return Authorization Required

All returns must be approved by our support team before the item is shipped back.

To request a return:

  1. Email us at support@maintainedhouse.com
  2. Include your order number and a brief explanation of the reason for the return
  3. If your item arrived damaged, defective, or incorrect, please attach clear photos of:
    • The item
    • The packaging
    • The shipping label on the box

Once your request is reviewed, we will provide:

  • A Return Merchandise Authorization (RMA) number
  • The correct return instructions
  • Any documents needed for the process

Important:
Unauthorized returns may be refused or significantly delayed because they cannot be matched to your order without an RMA.

5. Return Costs

We aim to keep our return process fair and transparent. Here’s how return costs work:

If Your Item Arrives Damaged, Defective, or Incorrect

You pay nothing.
We cover 100% of the return or replacement costs.

Depending on the situation, we may:

  • Provide a prepaid return label, or
  • Send a free replacement without requiring the item to be returned (case-by-case), or
  • Offer another appropriate solution

Our goal is to fix the issue quickly and at no cost to you.

For Customer Remorse (Change of Mind)

If the product is functional but you no longer want it, for reasons such as:

  • Color preference
  • Size or style choice
  • Ordered by mistake

Then:

  • You are responsible for the return shipping costs.
  • We do not charge any additional return handling fees.

This approach keeps pricing fair for all customers and ensures transparency.

6. How to Return an Item

We make the return process simple and clear. Just follow the steps below:

Step 1 - Contact Us

Email support@maintainedhouse.com with:

  • Your order number
  • The reason for the return
  • Photos if your item arrived damaged, incorrect, or defective

Step 2 - Receive Return Authorization

Our team will send you:

Step 3 - Pack Your Item Securely

  • Soft goods: Ensure the item is unused, unwashed, and neatly folded.
  • Fragile items:
    • Use original packaging when possible
    • If unavailable, use equivalent protective materials such as thick foam, bubble wrap, padding, and a sturdy box
  • Include all accessories or parts that came with your item.
    Improper packaging may affect refund eligibility if the item is damaged during return transit.

Step 4 - Ship the Item Back

  • Ship your return using a tracked carrier service (UPS, USPS, or FedEx recommended).
  • Send us the tracking number so we can monitor the return progress.

We will notify you by email once your returned item arrives at our facility.

7. Refund Process

Once your return is received, we follow a clear and transparent process:

Inspection

We inspect the returned item to confirm it meets the eligibility requirements:

  • Unused and unwashed (for towels, bedding, robes, blankets, mats)
  • Uninstalled and undamaged (for lighting)
  • Properly packaged
    This typically takes 1-2 business days.

Refund Approval

If your return is approved, you will receive an email notification confirming your refund has been initiated.

Refund Timeline

Approved refunds are processed within 7 business days to your original payment method.
Please note that your bank or card provider may require additional processing time before the refund appears on your statement.

No Restocking Fees

Maintained House does not charge restocking fees.
You will receive a refund for the product amount only (minus return shipping costs for change-of-mind cases).

Late or Missing Refunds

If your refund does not appear after 7 business days:

  1. Check your bank or card account again.
  2. Contact your bank or card issuer, as processing delays may occur.
  3. If none of the above helps, email us at support@maintainedhouse.com, and we will assist you immediately.

8. Exchanges

We offer a simple and fair exchange process depending on the situation.

If Your Item Arrives Damaged, Defective, or Incorrect

You pay nothing.
We will:

  • Send a free replacement, or
  • Offer another suitable solution

In many cases, we do not require the damaged or incorrect item to be returned, especially if returning it may cause further damage or delays.
Our team will let you know the best option after reviewing your case.

For Preference-Based Exchanges (Change of Mind)

If you want a different color, size, or style:

  • The fastest method is to complete a standard return and place a new order for your preferred item.
  • This ensures availability and quicker processing.

Exchange Timeline

Exchange timelines vary depending on:

  • Stock availability
  • Whether the original item needs to be returned
  • Shipping transit times
    If a replacement is approved, it will be shipped using the same delivery method as your original order.

9. Lost or Damaged Return Shipments

Customers are responsible for ensuring that return packages arrive safely at our facility.

If Your Return Package Is Lost or Damaged During Transit

  • You must contact the shipping carrier directly to file a claim.
  • Maintained House is not responsible for return packages that are lost, damaged, or missing contents while in transit back to us.

To help protect your return:

  • Always use a tracked shipping service (UPS, USPS, FedEx).
  • Keep your shipping receipt until the refund is completed.
  • Package fragile items securely with protective materials to prevent damage.

We Always Aim to Help

Although carriers handle these claims, our support team will assist you with guidance and help ensure a fair resolution where possible.

10. Order Cancellations

We understand that mistakes happen or plans change, so we offer a simple cancellation window.

Cancellation Window

You may cancel your order within 24 hours of purchase, as long as the order has not yet entered fulfillment.

If Fulfillment Has Started

Once your order is being prepared, packaged, or has shipped:

  • Cancellation may no longer be possible
  • You may wait for delivery and proceed with a standard return instead

Address Corrections

If you notice an error in your shipping address:

  • Contact us immediately
  • Address changes are only possible during the 24-hour processing window
    Once the order ships, rerouting may not be available, depending on the carrier

We do our best to assist quickly, but carrier limitations may apply.

11. Your Consumer Rights (USA)

Nothing in this Returns & Refund Policy is intended to limit any rights you may have under applicable U.S. consumer protection laws.

You are entitled to:

  • Receive products that match their description
  • Receive items that are free from defects and functional at the time of delivery
  • Request a remedy if an item arrives damaged, defective, or incorrect
  • Clear information about shipping, returns, and refunds

In the event of any conflict between this policy and your statutory rights, your statutory rights will always prevail.
