Damaged returns

Our products are hand crafted by artisans in Aurora and abroad. Pieces may vary due to the handmade nature of each product. A variation in paint color or shape does not qualify as a defect, but instead is a characteristic of our pieces being uniquely crafted.

MacKenzie-Childs will not replace or return any items that are broken, chipped or damaged due to regular wear and tear. Our designs are delicate in nature and should be treated and cared for as outlined on our website and in our care instructions.

If you receive an item that is damaged due to shipping, please save the damaged goods, carton, and packaging material. Contact the retail location or customer service department where you purchased the item and they will help facilitate a return.

We are happy to refund your purchase if the following conditions are met:

  • Proof of purchase is provided and the return is made within 30 days of the receipt of order. Furniture returns cannot be made after 30 days of receipt of shipment.
  • A 25% restocking fee will be deducted from the total refund. Furniture returns must be coordinated through the retail location or customer service department where you placed the order. Any returns not previously coordinated by a MacKenzie-Childs representative will be refused, at your expense.
  • Returns of damaged furniture pieces should be made within three business days of the receipt of shipment. Returns after that time frame will not be honored and a credit will not be given.
