Saatva Delivery Fee Refund Policy
Ancillary fee audit: why Saatva's standard free white-glove delivery is refunded, but optional custom delivery fees (remote freight, timed windows) are forfeited.
Mattress & Tax Refunded; Ancillary Fees Forfeited
Direct answer summary
Saatva includes standard white-glove delivery and in-home setup for free with all mattress orders. Upon returning a mattress, 100% of the mattress base purchase price and sales tax is refunded (minus the standard $99 return transport fee). However, if you paid for optional ancillary services - such as expedited delivery, remote location freight surcharges, or extra bed frame assembly fees - these service charges are 100% non-refundable once performed.
Key points
Standard white-glove delivery is free and does not reduce your mattress refund.
A flat $99 transportation processing fee is deducted from the final net refund.
Optional paid services (remote freight surcharges, custom assembly) are strictly non-refundable.
