Returning Merchandise
When you receive your order, always keep the paperwork that is included with it in case you wish to return or exchange an item. Also, save any emails you receive about your order, as they may provide important information.

A return merchandise authorization (RMA) is required for all returns. You can request an RMA via email at usa.service@steiff.com. Please provide your order number and the items you wish to return, and we will issue one for you. Steiff North America's hours of operation are 9:00 am to 5:00 pm EST Monday through Friday. Returns can only be requested within 30 days of the product shipment date. Your order must be returned to Steiff North America, Inc. in order to receive full product credit. Returned items must be in their original packaging and in new condition, or they will be rejected and sent back to you. Merchandise will be accepted for return within 30 days of receipt. Some items may not be eligible for return. Customers are responsible for learning about specific return restrictions associated with specific products or promotions.

Limited Edition returns are not eligible for a full refund unless the outer cardboard box is unopened and the brown tape is sealed. If a Limited Edition is returned in an opened outer box, a refund of 50% of the item's total retail value will be issued.

Defective Returns
If the item you wish to return is inoperable but has no apparent damage, it is considered defective. If you receive defective merchandise, please contact Steiff North America, Inc. via email at usa.service@steiff.com for assistance.

If you receive damaged merchandise, please save all packaging material and paperwork. If you attempt to return the merchandise yourself, you jeopardize our chances of making a claim, and you may not receive credit for the return.
