Return Policy

Benchmade offers 30 Days Free Returns on eligible items. This policy explains the return window, item condition requirements, how to start a return, refund timing, exchanges, and what to do if an item arrives damaged or incorrect.

30 Days Free Returns

Benchmade accepts eligible returns within 30 days of delivery. Approved returns under our 30 Days Free Returns service do not require customers to pay standard return shipping costs.

Customers must contact customer service first to receive return instructions and return details. Returns sent without contacting customer service first may not be accepted.

Return Eligibility

To qualify for a return, the item must meet the return requirements below and must be reviewed through our customer service process before it is sent back.

  • The return request must be made within 30 days of delivery.
  • The item must be unused, unworn, unwashed, and in its original condition.
  • The item should include original packaging, tags, manuals, accessories, and any included components when applicable.
  • The item must not show signs of damage, alteration, misuse, or unauthorized modification.
  • Proof of purchase or order information may be required to confirm eligibility.

Item Condition

Returned items must be in a condition that allows our team to inspect and verify the product. Please package your return securely to help prevent damage while it is in transit.

Items that are used, damaged after delivery, missing parts, or returned in a condition that does not meet our return requirements may be refused or may not qualify for a full refund.

Some items may not be eligible for return. Non-returnable items may include:

  • Items returned after the 30-day return window.

Refund Timing

Refunds are processed within 3–15 days after the returned item is received and inspected.

Exchanges

If you need a different item, size, style, or replacement option, contact us first so our team can review whether an exchange is available.

Refund Process

After your return is received, the item will be inspected. If the return is approved, the refund will be processed to the original payment method when possible.

Exchanges

Exchange availability may depend on item condition, stock availability, and the details of your request. Please contact us before sending anything back so we can provide the correct next steps.

If an exchange is not available, we may guide you through the return process for an eligible item and help you place a new order separately.
