Refund policy

Effective Date: August 1, 2026

At Golden Linen, we want you to love every piece you bring into your home. If something isn't quite right, we've made our return process simple and transparent. Please review the details below before initiating a return.

Return Window

We provide a 30-day return window beginning on the date your order is delivered. To be eligible, your return request must be submitted within this timeframe.

Conditions for Eligible Returns

Because our products include furniture and home furnishings, returned items must meet all of the following criteria:

• In original, unused condition – the product must remain in its original, unaltered state and must not have been used
• Original packaging preserved – all boxes, protective materials, hardware, and included accessories must be complete and undamaged
• Proof of purchase provided – your order confirmation number or receipt is required
• Return authorized in advance – you must receive confirmation from our team before sending any item back

Items That Cannot Be Returned

The following are not eligible for return under our standard policy:

• Products that have been assembled, used, installed, or modified from their original condition
• Items with customer-caused damage including scratches, stains, dents, or breakage
• Packages returned with opened or compromised packaging that affects the item's resale value
• Returns sent without prior written authorization from Golden Linen

Exception: If your product arrives damaged, defective, or incorrect due to an error on our part, it qualifies for a full return, replacement, or refund regardless of whether it has been assembled. Please see the Damaged or Incorrect Items section below.

Wall-Mounted Products: Products that have been installed (including wall hooks, hook racks, shelves, and toilet paper holders) are not eligible for return once installation is complete. Please review all dimensions, finish details, and installation requirements carefully before mounting. If you have questions prior to installation, contact us at info@goldenlinen.net.
