The Basics of the Fingerhut Return Policy

The Fingerhut return policy for most items is 60 days from the date when you placed the order. The following items are exceptions, and you must return them within 30 days of placing the order:

  • Computers
  • TVs
  • Tablets and other devices that need an internet connection
  • Camcorders
  • Digital cameras
  • Video game systems
  • Drones
  • Air conditioners
  • Air purifiers
  • Heaters
  • Generators
  • Air mattresses
  • Holiday decorations

Items With Special Return Conditions

You can return a cell phone only if you received it as faulty or damaged and are exchanging it for an identical device. As for movies, music, video games, and software, you must return them unopened (so that the factory seal remains intact) and unused. Otherwise, identical product exchanges are impossible.

Refused deliveries can only be returned for a refund—no exchanges are allowed in such instances.

Damaged/Defective/Duplicate Items and Items You Didn’t Order

According to the Fingerhut return policy, you will have to pay shipping fees if the returned items are damaged or defective. It also applies to duplicate items or anything you didn’t even order. The company will inspect the condition of every returned product reported as defective.

Non-Returnable/Non-Exchangeable Items

The following items do not qualify for a return or an exchange:

  • Partial sets (applicable for products sold in sets)
  • Face masks
  • Hand sanitizers
  • Non-defective personalized/customized products
  • Defective mattresses, mattress sets, box springs, and foundations

Product Concerns Exceeding the Return Period

If your concern exceeds the return window of 60 or 30 days from placing the order, refer to the specific manufacturer. In case you did not receive a product manual that contains warranty information, you need to find the company on the manufacturer list and call the corresponding phone number.

For items covered with an extended protection plan purchased through Fingerhut, contact 1-866-813-2931.
