Uneasy experience, from returns to the product
Although the website says “easy returns, no questions asked” it is anything but easy. You have to email them to start the process, then answer questions as to why you’re returning, then they give you complicated instructions, mailing to a man in PA, which i guess is their warehouse, and then emailing them the tracking number. And the RIC has to be on the package. While all of the instructions are clear, and they did try and dissuade me by offering a $100 store credit, it is not clear to me why there isn’t an easier way to return their products. The reason for the return was it arrived too late to send to the granddaughter (ordered on 12/5) and one arrived from “California” but had to clear customs, was not a Montessori toy (it said “Kabi” as the brand name) and it arrived on 12/17. The other did come in a Montessori box but arrived on 12/24, from IL, too late to send to my GD. The whole experience made me uneasy, has taken 5 days of emails to get instructions, and I’m hoping I’ll get my money back.

Hi Yvonne, Thank you for taking the time to share such detailed feedback — we truly appreciate it. We’re sorry to hear that the return process felt more complicated than expected and that the timing of delivery caused inconvenience, especially with gifts intended for your granddaughter. While our return instructions are designed to ensure packages are properly received and processed at our warehouse, we understand that the process can feel overwhelming when multiple steps are involved. We also appreciate your comments regarding packaging and branding. Some items may ship from different fulfillment locations depending on availability, which can result in varied outer packaging, though the products themselves remain the same. Your feedback regarding the returns experience is valuable and has been shared with our team as we continue working to simplify and improve the process. We’re glad to hear that you’ve already received return instructions, and once the package is received and processed, your refund will be issued accordingly.
