2Modern tip
Returning for store credit (2Modern gift card) waives the 15% restocking fee entirely, and large orders (10+ items or $10,000+) are store-credit-only with no cash refund option at all.
Sweet Zzz Mattress tip
You must sleep on the mattress at least 30 nights before you're allowed to start a return - trying to return in week one won't be accepted even if you already hate it.
