Restocking Fees

Restocking fees are charges imposed by sellers when a customer returns a purchased item. These fees help cover costs associated with processing, inspecting, and restocking the product back into inventory. Typically a percentage of the item's price, restocking fees vary by retailer and product type. They are intended to discourage returns and compensate the seller for handling the returned goods. Customers should review the return policy before purchasing, so they understand any potential charges if they decide to return an item later.
