Cancelling An Order Before Shipment

Any order cancelled before shipment will incur a 5% credit card fee. This fee covers credit card processing fees that we do not get back when an order is cancelled prior to shipment.

If you cancel more than 2 orders prior to shipment, a 10% restocking fee will then be deducted from your final refund. As mentioned above, when an order is cancelled prior to shipment, we are not refunded the credit card processing fees. Your first and second order cancellations will only be deducted by a 3% fee each however if any order is cancelled after that, and prior to shipment, a 10% restocking fee will apply. 

Defective Merchandise

Defective items must be reported within 3 business days of delivery. If you believe your item is defective, please contact us promptly so we can guide you through the required troubleshooting and diagnostic steps. This process is essential before any return or replacement can be authorized.

Please note: 

Claiming an item is defective—whether by phone or email—is not, on its own, enough to qualify for a refund or replacement. Our team or the manufacturer must first complete the necessary troubleshooting steps to determine the appropriate resolution.

If you choose not to participate in troubleshooting, you're still welcome to return your item; however, return shipping will be your responsibility.

If the item is confirmed to be defective within 30 days of purchase, we’ll cover all associated costs. For issues reported after 30 days, a warranty claim will need to be filed with the manufacturer.

Damage

Damage to any shipment must be reported within 3 business days of delivery. Shipping damage does not qualify for a defective swap. Email photos of the damage (machine and boxes) in addition to a photo of the shipping label to sales@cliffandpebble.com immediately upon noticing the damage. Please reference your order number in the subject line. Damage that is purely cosmetic in nature does not qualify for a swap. We can, however, work out other compensation if you'd prefer to keep your product(s). Please contact us to discuss.

In the event we receive your return back and the item is damaged, we reserve the right to increase the restocking fee or deny a return outright. Your product(s) will go through a brief inspection once we receive them back. 

Restocking Fees

We dislike restocking fees just as much as you, trust us. It's because of this that we look to avoid them as much as possible. They are, however, necessary in certain cases so please read the below before shipping your item(s) back to us.  

Tips to avoiding a restocking fee

  • Include ALL original accessories from your item(s). 
  • Include any free extras that came with your order.
  • Ship in the ORIGINAL boxes.
  • Re-pack your item(s) carefully to ensure maximum protection - this is a big one - should your machine arrive back to us damaged because you simply threw it back in the box, you will be charged a restocking fee of up to 20%.
  • If you have any questions, ask us before shipping your item(s) back! We're here to help in any way we can. 

If your order is granted a return past our 365 day policy, a restocking fee of up to 20% will apply. The exact amount will depend on the condition of your machine upon arrival to our warehouse. This policy begins on the date in which your order was placed, not on the day in which your item(s) are delivered unless there was a noted delay in shipment.  

Price Shopping After Purchase

If a customer places an order with us and subsequently receives a better offer or discount from another retailer, we understand that they may wish to explore their options. However, if the customer uses their order as leverage to negotiate a better offer with another retailer, we reserve the right to charge a 10% restocking fee to cover our costs. 

To avoid misunderstandings, we encourage customers to do their due diligence before placing an order with us, and to make sure that they are comfortable with the price they are paying. If a customer has any questions or concerns about pricing or discounts, they should reach out to our customer support team before placing an order. 

Returning Before Use or Delivery

Should you purchase a machine or grinder and no longer decide you want it before use or before delivery, a 10% restocking fee will be deducted from the total cost of your order once we receive it back.

Returning after reviewing for a blog, social media, or other

Cliff & Pebble reserves the right to refuse a return within the 30 day period since order placement should it become clear to us that any product(s) were purchase solely for the intent of writing a review, social media posts, YouTube videos, or other.

Should you be interested in reviewing our products, anyone is free to apply to our affiliate program however abusing our 30 day policy will not be tolerated in any way.

Replacements (if applicable)

Replacements are only granted on items that are defective on arrival. If you'd like to return your machine during the 365 day period however your machine is defective, it will first need to be repaired. 

Refunds (if applicable)

Please allow 3 to 5 business days for your refund to be processed once we receive your order back. We cannot submit a refund until the items are received back and properly inspected by our technicians.

Shipping Outside The USA

Should you ship your product(s) out of the USA, you are agreeing to void your warranty. Cliff & Pebble is not responsible for return shipping costs or repairs should your machine be shipped outside the United States. 

Late or missing refunds (if applicable)

If you haven’t received a refund yet, first check your bank account again.
Then contact your credit card company, it may take some time before your refund is officially posted.
Next contact your bank. There is often some processing time before a refund is posted.
If you’ve done all of this and you still have not received your refund yet, please contact us at sales@cliffandpebble.com.

Outlet Center (Espresso Vault) Items

Outlet center items do not follow our 365-day return policy. These items come with a 14-day return period where the customer is responsible for shipping the item back in all original boxes with all original accessories. Failure to do so may result in a restocking fee of up to 20%. 

Free Gifts

If you decide to return an item that received free extras or gifts cards you must return ALL those items with your order in it's original packaging. Should you decide not to do so, your refund will be deducted by the value of those items.

Extras provided at no additional cost are included with certain promotional offers when a specific product is bought according to the promotion's terms. These extras are not to be regarded as entirely free. If you choose to return an order that came with a complimentary gift, the gift must be returned as well.

Exchanges (if applicable)

Any customer who purchased an espresso machine or grinder (non-outlet center item) is eligible to exchange their product within 365 days of purchase (day 1 begins on the date of purchase). Shipping is the responsibility of Cliff & Pebble when upgrading to a machine of higher value.

Should you get your machine and decide it's not for you, we're happy to offer an exchange or upgrade where the difference in cost is on the buyer. 

Outlet center items and accessories are not exchangeable. You also cannot exchange your item for the same item.
