Return & Refund Policy

Products that are faulty/defective may be returned or exchanged within 14 days after the date the product is delivered. The refund will be applied to the original payment method used for the purchase. In most cases, the refund is labeled as Pending for up to 2 business days, and it can take up to 10 business days for you to receive the refunded amount

Products that have been assembled/used CANNOT be returned, unless the defect cannot be detected until the product has been assembled/used. 

When you need to request a return/exchange, please DO NOT send the product back until you first contact us and receive an RMA (Return Merchandise Authorization) from us with the return instructions. We reserve the right to charge a restocking fee equal to 25% of the purchase price for returns that are requested late, opened, damaged, or missing parts. Shipping paid during the purchase is not refundable.

 

Return process:

  1. Please email us at info@kidsrepublic.ca and include in your email a copy of your invoice/receipt, order date, product name, the reason for the return, name of the purchaser, delivery address, and phone number to receive an RMA (Return Merchandise Authorization)
  2. In the event that an item is to be returned for reasons that are not due to our mistake or faulty/defective product, the customer is responsible for return freight/shipping cost.
  3. In any event, any returned product that is opened, used, damaged, or missing parts will result in a restocking fee equal to 25% of the purchase price, unless the defect cannot be detected until the product has been assembled/used.
  4. When your RMA is authorized, please package all items adequately in the original box to prevent damage in transit, and please ensure that all packaging, accessories, and instructions are included. We recommend using a shipping method with tracking insurance and signature confirmation. We are not responsible for any losses or damages caused by the return shipping. Please keep the shipping receipt and email us with the tracking number.
  5. Upon receipt of the package and completion of our inspection, a refund or replacement will be processed. If the product is found to be defective, we will either grant a full refund or a replacement at no additional cost. If the product is NOT defective, we will refund the original purchase price, less the returning shipping cost (if applicable), and restocking fee at 25% of the purchase price.

  • Damages caused by the customer of any kind, including, but not limited to:
    • damage resulting from abuse or misuse of the product;

When you need to file a warranty claim, please email us at info@kidsrepublic.ca and include in your email a copy of your invoice/receipt, order date, product name, the reason for a warranty claim, name of the purchaser, delivery address and phone number, along with the issue encountered and/or part needing replacement. You may be asked to provide supportive photos/videos to help identify the problem and assess the repair needed. We will get you the necessary components in a timely manner once your warranty claim is approved. You will be responsible for any shipping costs due to your claim. In the case where a repair is deemed necessary, you will be responsible for delivering the product to and from the service center.

 

Labor to Repair or Replace Part:

We do not reimburse any labor cost you have incurred or you may incur in repairing the product or replacing the parts. However, we do provide free in-house labor on defective items that are still under their specified warranty period.

Damages during Shipping:

Please contact us IMMEDIATELY (within three (3) days after the date the product is delivered) with photos of damages during shipping and wait for further instructions. The original box and all packaging are REQUIRED to process the exchange on the damaged item. Please DO NOT assemble the product until we assess the damaged photos. In most cases, we will send out the part that was damaged during transportation so it will not warrant a return. In most cases, we will return and replace your item with the exact same model if the damaged parts cannot be replaced.

 

Package Theft AFTER Deliver:

While we do insure all packages with the shipping companies we use for lost or damaged items, Kids Republic is not responsible for stolen packages AFTER they have been delivered to the recipient. Once the item is delivered by the shipping courier it is now considered the buyer’s property even if they are not home and did not sign for the package It is the buyer’s responsibility to protect the item from theft after delivery. It is recommended to track your package with the tracking information we provided and make an arrangement with the shipping company to be present to receive your item as some items may not require a signature.
