Refund policy
Last updated: June 23, 2026
We stand behind everything we sell. If you're not completely satisfied with your Fathom order, we'll make it right — no runaround, no fine print.
30-Day Return Window
You may return most items within 30 days of delivery for a full refund or exchange. Items must meet the following conditions:
- Original, unused condition
- Original packaging (or equivalent protective packaging)
- Accompanied by proof of purchase (order number or email confirmation)
Items that have been used, assembled, or damaged after delivery are not eligible for return.
How to Start a Return
Contact us via our contact page to initiate a return. Include your order number and reason for return. We'll respond within 1–2 business days with return instructions and a shipping label where applicable.
Refund Process
Once we receive and inspect your return, refunds are processed within 3–5 business days to your original payment method. Please allow an additional 3–7 business days for your bank or card issuer to post the credit to your account. You'll receive an email confirmation when your refund has been processed.
Refund method: Refunds are issued to the original payment method used at the time of purchase.
Restocking fee: $0 — we charge no restocking fees.
Exchanges
We accept exchanges for different sizes, colors, or models. Contact us with your order number and the item you'd like instead. We'll ship your replacement as soon as we receive your return.
Damaged or Defective Items
If you receive a damaged or defective item, please contact us within 7 days of delivery and include photos of the damage. We will arrange a free replacement or issue a full refund — at no cost to you. No return is required for damaged items.
