Refund & Return Policy

Last Updated: July 2025 · Applies to online and offline purchases

Our Return Window

Because we sell professional-grade commercial cleaning products, most products cannot be returned once opened for safety and hygiene reasons. Returns are accepted within 30 days of delivery for eligible items only. All returns require prior approval — do not ship items back without an RMA number.

How to Return an Item

01
Contact Us First
Email hello@tidyserve.net or call (224) 612-2976 within the eligible return window. Include your order number and a photo of the issue.
02
We Review & Approve
We'll confirm your return is eligible and email you a Return Merchandise Authorization (RMA) number within 1–2 business days.
03
Ship the Item Back
Package the product securely and ship it to our Des Plaines address with the RMA number on the outside of the box. For damaged/defective items, we provide a prepaid return label.
04
Refund Issued
Once we receive and inspect the returned item, we process your refund within 3 business days. Online refunds appear on your statement in 5–10 business days via Stripe.

Offline & Invoice Order Returns

For orders placed by phone, email, or in person — or paid via invoice (NET 30) — the same eligibility rules apply. Returns must be requested within 14 days of the invoice date by contacting us directly.

Refunds for offline orders paid by credit/debit card are processed back to the original card. Refunds for check payments are issued by company check within 5–7 business days. Cash refunds are issued at our Des Plaines location only.

For NET 30 accounts with an outstanding balance, return credits will be applied to your account balance rather than issued as a cash refund.

Bulk & Enterprise Orders

Bulk orders (50+ units) and enterprise orders (200+ units) are handled case-by-case. If you receive a partial shipment or a damaged pallet, contact us immediately so we can work with the carrier to file a freight claim. Do not refuse delivery without speaking with us first — refused deliveries may not qualify for a full refund.
