Return procedure:
Contact us online, email us at tlfhelp@tandyleather.com, or call 877-LEATHER to initiate a return for items ordered online. A Return Merchandise Authorization (RMA) is required for all online order returns.  If you are shipping an item over $75, you should consider using a trackable shipping service or purchasing shipping insurance. We do not guarantee that we will receive your returned item. Return Shipping is at the customer’s expense. Order shipping fees are not refundable.

Refunds
Once your return is received and inspected, we will notify you of the approval or rejection of your refund. If approved, your refund will be processed and refunded to the original form of payment. Return processing time is 5-7 business days upon receipt.

 Refunds for purchases made by credit card will be refunded to the credit card used in the original transaction. Once the refund is processed, it can take 5-7 days for your bank to release the funds. In the event we are unable to process the refund to the original credit card, the refund will be issued to a Tandy Leather gift card.

Refunds for purchases paid for with a gift card or pre-paid credit card will be issued to a Tandy Leather gift card. Refunds for purchases paid for in cash, valued at less than $50, will be refunded with cash back, in store only, if available. If cash is not available in store, the refund will be issued to a Tandy Leather Gift Card. Any returns for purchases paid for with cash totaling more than $50, any money order, or any check will be refunded in the form of a Tandy Leather gift card.

Gifts
If the item was marked as a gift when purchased and shipped directly to you, you’ll receive a Tandy Leather gift card for the value of your return. Once the returned item is received, a gift card will be mailed to you. If the item wasn’t marked as a gift when purchased, or the gift giver had the order shipped to themselves to give to you later, we will send a refund to the gift giver, and the gift giver will find out about your return.

Filing a Claim for Non-Receipt
If your tracking details show the package was delivered and you cannot locate it, we recommend waiting 48 hours following delivery confirmation as some tracking sites may display a delivered status prior to their arrival at the destination.  Tandy Leather utilizes both UPS, UPS Surepost and USPS for delivery.  UPS now offers UPS Proof of Delivery which allows you to access a picture of the delivery site.  Check your tracking for more information.  UPS Surepost has USPS as your final delivery carrier. Check your tracking for more information.  UPS Surepost Tracking traditionally has a YW or YN that will arrive for final delivery via USPS.
If it has been more than 48 hours, please do the following:

  • Look for a notice of attempted delivery left by the carrier.
  • Look around the delivery location for your package (On the porch, by your garage etc.)
  • See if someone else in your household or a neighbor accepted the delivery.
  • Verify the shipping address used by the carrier and on your order was correct.

If your package has not shown up within 3 business days of being marked delivered, please contact the appropriate delivery carrier to file a claim, once a claim has been started with the carrier contact our Customer Service Team below for next steps.

Please note that you have 10 days from the time the package is marked Delivered to contact our Customer Service Team and open a claim or Tandy may not be responsible to replace the order. After a claim is opened, it could take several weeks for an investigation to be finalized and a decision to be made.

Tandy is not responsible for replacing or providing a refund if the address given on the order is incorrect and that is where the package was delivered. Replacing the order will be at the customer’s expense.

You can reach our customer service team here Customer Service Team.
