Our Promise: If you're not completely satisfied with your Root and Craft purchase, we're here to help with returns and exchanges within 7 days of delivery.

Return Policy Overview

We accept returns and exchanges for most items within 7 days of delivery. To be eligible for a return:

  • Items must be unused and in their original condition
  • Items must be returned in their original packaging, wherever possible, to prevent damage in transit
  • Items must not show signs of use, scratches, chipping, or damage caused after delivery
  • Return request must be initiated within 7 days of delivery
Please Note: Our products are handcrafted from natural materials such as bamboo, wood, and stone. Slight variations in grain, colour, texture, size, or finish are natural characteristics of handmade items and are not considered defects or valid grounds for return.

Non-Returnable Items

Due to the handmade and made-to-order nature of many of our pieces, the following items cannot be returned or exchanged:

  • Custom or personalized items (engraved, monogrammed, or made to your specifications)
  • Made-to-order wood, bamboo, or stone pieces crafted specifically for your order
  • Pierced/worn jewelry items (earrings) once used, for hygiene reasons
  • Items damaged due to misuse, improper care, or normal wear and tear
  • Gift cards
  • Clearance or final sale items
Please Note: Sale items (marked 50% off or more) are final sale and cannot be returned or exchanged unless defective.

Receive Authorization

We'll review your request and send you a Return Authorization (RA) number within 1-2 business days, along with return shipping instructions.

Pack Your Return Carefully

Many of our pieces are fragile (stone jewelry, wood carvings, bamboo decor). Please pack items securely in the original packaging with adequate cushioning to prevent damage in transit. Include your RA number clearly visible on the package and inside with your return form.

Frequently Asked Questions

My item has natural variations in colour or grain — is that a defect?

No. Since our bamboo, wood, and stone pieces are handcrafted from natural materials, slight differences in colour, texture, grain, or finish are expected and are part of what makes each piece unique. These are not eligible for return.

Can I return an item without the original packaging?

We strongly recommend returning items in their original packaging since many pieces are fragile. If original packaging isn't available, please pack the item securely with adequate cushioning to prevent damage during transit — we cannot process refunds for items that arrive broken due to inadequate packaging on return.

Can I cancel my order?

Yes, but only before it ships — this is especially important for made-to-order and custom pieces, which go into production quickly. Contact us immediately at support@rootandcraft.com with your order number.

How long does the entire return process take?

From the time you ship your return to receiving your refund typically takes 10-14 business days.
