What type of hardware are you looking for?

Returns & Exchanges 

Modern Matter hardware is made from solid brass, a material built to outlast trends, installation cycles, and the projects it anchors. Each piece is carefully designed by our team, crafted by artisans, and assembled and inspected in our Virginia Beach studio.

Because many of our pieces are prepared specifically for each order and require detailed inspection upon return, eligible returns are subject to a restocking fee. This helps us maintain the high level of quality and care that our customers expect. 

For customers looking for exchanges, we offer complimentary exchanges on eligible items, including a prepaid return label and complimentary standard shipping on the replacement order.

For guidance at any stage, our Customer Care team is here to help at hello@modern-matter.com or 704-749-2110.

Exchanges

Need a different size, finish, or style? Exchanges for eligible items are complimentary through our returns portall. We’ll provide a prepaid return label for your original item and complimentary standard shipping on your replacement order.

Eligible items may be exchanged for other item(s) of equal or greater value. If your selected replacement has a higher price, the difference will be collected at the time of checkout for your exchange order.

How exchanges work:

1. Start your exchange through our returns portal by selecting the item(s) you’d like to return and your preferred replacement item(s).

2. Once your exchange is submitted, a prepaid return shipping label will be issued, and your replacement order will be created automatically.

3. Your replacement order will ship separately as a new order with complimentary standard shipping.

4. After your original item(s) are received and inspected by our Customer Care team, your return will be processed, and the corresponding credit will be applied to finalize the exchange.

Return labels are valid for 10 days from the date of issue.
