Return Policy & Terms of Sale

Up To 60 Days Return Policy
If you're unhappy with something you've bought from us, you can return it or exchange it. Refunds are provided for returns within 30 days of your purchase date. In-store credit is available for both returns and exchanges within 60 days of your purchase date. For specific details, read the policy below.

Damaged Goods
If your item came to your doorstep damaged or in error please contact us immediately at returns@lookintheattic.com and we'll remedy the situation.

Returns Within 30 Days of Purchase
If you decide you don't like the item(s) ordered from our online catalog, simply request a Return Authorization Number (RAN) by email at returns@lookintheattic.com within 30 days of order placement. Include your order number, the items you wish to return, and indicate whether you wish to make a return or an exchange. Note: Return Authorization Numbers (RANs) cannot be issued over the telephone.

Providing returned merchandise has not been installed, altered, incomplete or damaged, we will process a credit for the returned item(s). Returns for cash back to your credit card are subject to a sixteen percent restocking fee and our actual shipping & handling costs (from USPS or UPS) are not refunded. Exchanges for in-store credit are subject to an eight percent restocking fee and our actual shipping & handling costs (from USPS or UPS) are not refunded. Exchanges are provided an in-store credit after the original merchandise is returned to us - the in-store credit may be used to purchase different merchandise and once issued, in-store credits cannot be converted to cash back.

We will provide you with a return authorization number (RAN) valid for two weeks from the date of issue. Please write the RAN number on the outside of the return package; otherwise the package may be refused as unknown & returned to you.

Exceptions: installed, altered or customized orders (engraved, initialed etc.) cannot be returned or exchanged. Pieces or components of a set (screws, nuts, bolts for example) cannot be returned for partial refunds. Kick Plates for doors are made to order - therefore these items have a restocking fee of 40 percent. Product codes starting with 'AH', 'MH' and 'AL' are cast, finished and made to order - therefore these have a 40 percent restocking fee.

Returns After 30 Days & Before 60 Days of Purchase
Returns or exchanges for refunds may be done within 30 days of order placement. After 30 days, we do offer in-store credit for orders placed after 30 days but before 60 days. A restocking fee of twenty five percent applies to in-store credit returns and actual shipping & handling are not refunded (40 percent for all kick plates and product codes starting with 'AH' and 'AL'). We cannot accept returns or exchanges beyond 60 days.

    "I love your site! I think your prices are great, better than most and the quality of the product is fantastic! I ordered these cabinet knobs twice and was delighted with the product. They look great on the antique dresser I have! We are so delighted with your cabinet knobs that we just ordered all new light blue glass knobs and drawer pulls for all of our kitchen cupboards! I would definitely recommend your site to anyone who loves glass knobs!"
    Jean S., Richfield, MN

    "As a professional chef and host of a cable cooking show, I understand that presentation is nearly as important as taste. I am always looking for the perfect bowl, plate or serving dish. You never fail to bring me the finest tableware for my latest creations."
    Amy C., Chicago, IL

    "I purchased a bronze door knocker and a solid brass kick plate from you last month. Both the door knocker and kickplate exceeded my expectations and made my front entry look great. I am planning on getting a new door knob set, too - I love the Oil Rubbed Bronze and Antique Copper finishes you offer!"
    David V., San Mateo, CA

    "Larger retailers wanted nearly twice as much for the glass doorknob sets. My glass doorknobs are for modern doors - and they fit perfectly. The ones I purchased from you were easy to install, high quality and looked great. It is nice to know that I can update and detail my home without taking out a new mortgage. Next I plan on updating with the antique brass door hinges and victorian hardware. I only wish you also sold furniture!"
    Jeff T., Sterling Heights, MI

    "It is hard to find high quality colored glassware - lookintheattic has an amazing collection. Cake stands, pedestal cake plates and cake domes - I love it. I never need to worry about shipping glass, too - you are experts and my dinner parties are always a hit!"
    Meredith Y., Seattle, WA

    Carlos A., Los Angeles, CA

    "I ordered the ruby red bridges for my kitchen and they are perfect. I wish that I could find them close to home - but the local stores don't have near the selection. They are also more expensive and the free shipping makes it a good deal. Thanks so much for making the purchase easy."
    Lisa B., El Segundo, CA
