Cancellations & Returns

 

Your satisfaction is always our first priority.

While we hope you’ll love every unique piece you purchase from Scout & Nimble, we also recognize that things don’t always go according to plan. Below, we have outlined our guidelines for canceling or returning merchandise and working with our Customer Care team to resolve other issues. 

Cancellations

Most items can be canceled without penalty before they have begun processing for shipment. Depending on item availability,* we recommend adhering to the following guidelines:

In-Stock Items

We attempt to accommodate all cancellation requests for in-stock items, but cannot offer a guarantee. Please submit your cancellation request no less than 24 hours from the time your order was placed.

Backordered Items

Please submit your cancellation request no less than 2 weeks before an item is estimated to arrive back in stock. Given the dynamic and variable nature of international shipping, back-order dates are always estimates and are subject to change.  Please contact our Customer Care Team for an update on your backorder date prior to requesting cancellation.

Made-to-Order Items

These items cannot be canceled, as they are immediately submitted for production and built to your specifications. Thank you for your understanding.

Things to Note:

  • A request for cancellation does not immediately confirm the cancellation of your order, as this process may take up to 72 hours to complete. Once your order has been successfully canceled, you will receive an email confirmation for your records.
  • If a cancellation is not able to be processed and delivery of the item(s) is refused by the customer, the order will be treated as a return and any applicable fees will apply and be deducted from the refund on your order.
  • If a product is listed incorrectly, sold at an incorrect price, or if a discount code is applied incorrectly, we reserve the right to refuse or cancel the order.
  • *Some product pages or order correspondence will display estimated availability for back-ordered items; please note this is only our very best estimate, and restocking dates are not guaranteed. Items may come back in stock prior to the listed backorder date.  Similarly, products that are made to order have an extended lead time to allow for production. Any pending orders will receive an email notification in the event of a restocking or production delay. Please email support@scoutandnimble.com if you have any questions regarding product availability.

 

Returns

Visit the Returns tab on each product page to review an item’s return eligibility.

Return requests for small parcel items must be submitted and/or postmarked, no later than 30 days from the shipment's delivery date and shipment's delivery date no later than 7 days for freight & LTL shipped items.

In addition, it is the customer’s responsibility to pay for shipping back to Scout & Nimble. These fees will be deducted from the customers refund.

Things to Note:

  • Return shipping fees can vary depending on the location of the return, the size, and weight of the item, and the selected return method.

Most carriers retain packaging until the end of the delivery day. If packaging is not on hand with the carrier, we are unable to make exceptions, and the order will not be eligible for return.

 

Lost or Stolen Packages

Before contacting support@scoutandnimble.com to open an investigation for a missing package, please first:
  1. Verify the delivery destination reflected in tracking. (If this address differs from your Shipping Address, please refer to your shipping confirmation email to determine whether your shipment might have been delivered to a fulfillment center tasked with scheduling a delivery appointment.)
  2. Look for a notice of attempted delivery on your door, in your email, text message, or voicemail.
  3. Search the surrounding property in case the package was placed in a hidden location.
  4. Check with any party that may have accepted the package on your behalf: neighbors, roommates, property manager, or front office. Investigations cannot be opened for packages that have been signed for.

Things to Note:

  • Scout & Nimble is committed to assisting with tracing all claim scenarios with the respective carrier. However, it's important to note that Scout & Nimble does not accept liability for packages that have been signed for or have photographic proof of delivery to the address specified in the order.
  • All freight shipments will require a signature for delivery. If you opt to waive this signature requirement, your right to a claim will be forfeited. No exceptions.

 

Damages, Defects & Incorrect Items

Scout & Nimble strives to fulfill every order without incident, but rest assured we will take care of any items that are not up to standard.*

Any irregularities must be noted on the delivery receipt (when applicable) and reported to Scout & Nimble within 7 days. 

Please inspect your shipment for accuracy, damages, and defects upon delivery. If your order is delivered via Freight or LTL and there is any obvious damage to the packaging or item(s), please make a note of it on the delivery paperwork and contact our Customer Care Team within 7 days of delivery. While we understand you may not be able to inspect the entire order before the delivery team departs, any visible damage should be documented at the time of delivery when possible.

If you opt to refuse delivery, please ensure you take clear photos of the damaged or incorrect item prior to the delivery team's departure. In the event that a shipment is refused prior to inspection, you may be subject to re-delivery or return fees.

If you choose to accept the shipment, please ensure that you retain all packaging materials in their original condition, as they will be necessary for a potential return. If White Glove delivery service is selected on your order, it is at the customer’s discretion to request and retain this packaging. Please note that in the event packaging is not available, our options for resolution may be limited.

Our Customer Care Team will work with you in securing a discount, scheduling a repair, providing replacement parts, or arranging for a full replacement, in this order. Please be aware that these resolution options, including returns or refunds, may not be available if original packaging is not on hand. If a refund is requested, you will need to initiate your request as a return, which may incur fees for shipping & handling.

 

Additional Things to Note

Product Variation

As online retailers, we take our responsibility seriously to accurately represent our products. Alongside images, we offer comprehensive product measurements and detailed material and finish descriptions to assist you in making informed design choices. However, slight variations in dimension, finish, or details from the depicted or described model may occur, as all goods, even those tailored to precise specifications, are subject to industry-standard tolerances and variations.

Many of our suppliers utilize natural materials known for their inherent diversity. Wood exhibits unique grain patterns, stains or dyes settle differently, metal items may vary in tone and luster, and stone displays individual color and texture variations. Certain intentional distressing and inconsistencies are common across many of our products.

Product photography is produced in multiple locations with small variations in lighting and other environmental factors; as such, products may appear slightly different in dimensions, finish, or detailing than pictured. Additionally, variations in color may occur as every screen renders colors differently. Scout & Nimble bears no responsibility for variations between the actual product color and its representation on a device or in printed materials.

Given these factors, any instances outlined above will be treated as a standard return.

Natural Wood Characteristics

Many of our products are crafted from solid hardwoods, such as, mango wood and reclaimed wood. Natural variations are inherent to the material. Characteristics such as knots, unique grain patterns, and variations in color or tone are normal and add to the individuality of each piece.

In some cases, small cracks or checks may appear within knots or across the grain. These are common in natural wood and do not affect the structural integrity of the furniture, and are not considered defects. Filler may occasionally be used to ensure stability, and while efforts are made to blend coloration, some variation may remain visible.

Seasonal changes in temperature, humidity, and exposure to sunlight can also cause wood to expand or contract over time. This may result in slight shifts, openings, or hairline cracks, which are considered part of the natural aging process of solid wood.

These natural features are what make each wood piece unique and one of a kind. They will not be treated as defects but rather as expected characteristics of working with natural materials.

Wear & Tear & Care

At Scout & Nimble, we strive to offer long-lasting products made with exceptional craftsmanship and high-quality materials; some deterioration is to be expected over time as items are subjected to general wear and tear. Dyes or finishes will settle, fabrics will relax, and hard surfaces will react to wind, climate, or frequent handling. 

It is important to follow all proper care guidelines for your item. These are often included on an item tag or included as a print brochure with the packaging (please contact support@scoutandnimble.com if you are in need of care instructions).

In appropriate situations, Scout & Nimble always recommend the use of coasters or placemats to protect furniture and to cover or store outdoor furniture when not in use. Scout & Nimble cannot repair, replace, or credit any product that has been subjected to improper care, accident, abuse, misuse, or general wear and tear.

White Glove

During White Glove deliveries, packaging may be removed upon delivery. If you're contemplating a return, it's crucial to retain all packaging materials, as returns cannot be processed without them. In the event that you're unable to preserve the packaging, a return is no longer eligible.

Should your delivery team arrive without the necessary packaging materials, kindly reach out to our support team at (833) 857-2062 or via email at support@scoutandnimble.com prior to their departure.

Measurements

Measure your front door, elevator(s), stairwell(s), delivery path, and the area where you plan to place the item(s). If delivery is refused due to sizing, the order will be treated as a return and any applicable fees will apply.

Warranties

While Scout & Nimble does not offer any express or implied warranties, some products may be covered by a limited manufacturer’s warranty. Please email our Customer Care Team to see if your purchase qualifies.
