Returning Merchandise
Upon receiving your order, it is essential to retain all accompanying paperwork and any emails related to your purchase, as they may contain crucial information for returns or exchanges.
A Return Merchandise Authorization (RMA) is required for all returns and can be requested within 30 days of the shipment date. To request an RMA, please email usa.service@steiff.com with your order number and the items you wish to return.
