Check a restocking fee before accepting it

Ask the seller to identify the policy and calculation behind the restocking fee. Compare that response with the terms saved when you ordered.

What to check

  • Check whether the fee applies to your item, condition and reason for return.
  • Confirm whether it is a fixed amount or a percentage, and what amount the percentage uses.
  • Add return shipping and any other proposed deduction.
  • Keep the purchase-time terms and the seller’s explanation.

A fee dispute needs the applicable facts. If the item is defective or was misdescribed, explain the problem and request a written answer about the return terms. Local consumer rights may affect the result; seek help from the relevant consumer protection office when needed.
