This Saatva settlement covers certain Missouri online orders allegedly charged too much tax. The court entered final judgment in July 2026, and eligible customers are due automatic, proportionally adjusted refunds.
Current Status
No claim form is required. The court entered final judgment in July 2026 after the December 18, 2025 fairness hearing, resolving the approval stage. Eligible class members are to receive automatic payments after the settlement becomes effective and any appeal-related conditions are resolved; the administrator has not posted a specific mailing date.
What Changed Recently?
The settlement moved from proposed to final-approved status. A final judgment entered in July 2026 closed the litigation on the settlement terms. The official administrator page still contains older language saying the court must decide whether to approve the agreement, so the judgment is the controlling later development.
What Was the Lawsuit About?
The lawsuit alleged that Saatva charged some Missouri customers a sales-tax rate higher than the vendor's use-tax rate that should have applied to goods shipped into Missouri from outside the state. It sought repayment of the alleged difference on qualifying purchases.
Saatva denied that it violated the law or did anything wrong. The court did not decide the underlying allegations at trial; the parties resolved them through the settlement.
Who Is Included?
A qualifying purchase generally had to satisfy all of these conditions:
- The customer bought tangible personal property from Saatva through Saatva.com.
- The purchase was completed between June 21, 2018 and June 18, 2024.
- The product was shipped by or for Saatva from outside Missouri.
- The delivery address was in Missouri.
- The tax charged exceeded the vendor's use-tax rate agreed to in the settlement.
A fully refunded purchase is excluded. A partially refunded purchase may still produce an eligible amount.
How Is the Refund Calculated?
The payment is based on the difference between the tax actually charged and the agreed vendor's use-tax rate for the customer's location and purchase date. The underlying tax calculation applies the relevant rate to product charges plus shipping and handling.
Payments can be adjusted proportionally so the total distribution fits the settlement fund. That means the final payment may not equal every dollar of the preliminary overcharge calculation.
Do You Need to File Anything?
No. Identified class members receive an automatic payment and did not need to submit a claim. The payment-method form was optional: it allowed a class member to update contact information or choose an electronic payment. A class member who made no selection was to receive a check using the address in the administrator's records.
Because the payment is automatic, a notice code used only to change the payment method is not proof required to obtain the benefit.
What If You Moved?
A class member whose address changed should use the official website's contact or payment-selection page to provide current information. Do not send personal purchase or payment details to OpenClassActions; only the court-appointed administrator can update the settlement record.
What Happens Next?
The administrator must complete the effective-date, records, and distribution work required by the settlement. No new claim process will open because this was designed as an automatic-payment settlement. The official site remains the proper place to check for a distribution announcement.
