If for whatever reason, the product doesn’t fit your needs, we will take it back for free. Simply keep all the boxes it shipped in.
Returns are free if they are initiated within your 15-day risk-free trial, and are done in the original packaging your order came in. The boxes our furniture items are shipped in are specially designed for ease of shipping and the safety of our products in transit. This is why we require said items to be returned in their original packaging. If either or both conditions are not met, a return may be refused, or a return fee will be applied.
Note: The return fee is 15% of the value of your order or higher depending on the product condition and would be evaluated on case to case basis. Should you need to have return boxes sent to you, or have any questions about the return fees, please contact our customer care.

Once we receive the product, our Quality Assurance Team will inspect it to ensure there is no customer-caused damages or modifications. From then, please allow 3-7 business days for the refund to be processed.
For returns, customers need to print the shipping labels that are required for our logistics partner. This is mandatory as our products are shipped in multiple boxes, and logistics partners are not able to distinguish between separate boxes without these labels. Since these labels are generated after a return initiation, customers need to print them.
Keeping the original boxes is required for all returns. Keeping your boxes also make moving in the future a lot easier! We cannot accept returns in non-Pelican boxes. If you do not have them, please reach out to us at 18008330046 or write us at info@pelicanessentials.comso we can assist you.
