The customer comes first
-- this is our company
philosophy. Open
communication is the most
effective way to ensure Total
Customer Satisfaction. We
have created the following
policies to ensure clear
communication with our
customers. It is our hope
that these key policies will
enable us to gain the highest
customer satisfaction in the
business; we believe that we
already sell some of the best
products in the
industry.
In the event of a claim, the
customer is responsible for
supplying us with product
samples and or digital or
normal photographs of the
problem by means of UPS
before any credit or claim
can be processed. If the
product does have a
manufacturing defect, the UPS
charges for sending the
sample materials will be
refunded in full.
If the samples or photographs
cannot identify the
problem(s), a certified
inspector will be called in
to look at the floor.
The certified inspector will
analyze the reported problem
and issue a report on his or
her findings. If the product
has a manufacturing defect,
we will replace the product
material at no cost,
including shipping the
replacement product and pay
the shipping to have the
defective product returned to
us. For discontinuation or
lack of availability, a
product of similar price and
quality may be used as a
substitute.
If the certified inspector
does not find a manufacturing
defect with the product, the
customer will pay the entire
cost for the inspection.
Labor costs will not be
covered for materials that
have already been
installed.
After opening no more than
three cartons, if you notice
a possible defect, STOP!
Contact your sales
representative right away. Do
not continue with the
installation. We will not
issue credit for products
that were opened after the
first two cartons in the
event of a product defect. In
the case of items damaged by
a carrier, claim information
must be received within 15
business days of the delivery
date.
Products not installed
correctly will not be
considered defective.
Responsibility for final
inspection and approval falls
to the customer and installer
before permanent
installation. It is the
installer's responsibility to
check color, finish and
quality before installation.
If your installer is not
satisfied with the flooring
before installation, then do
not install the floor and
contact us right away. We are
not responsible for any costs
associated with repairing or
replacing boards that were
installed with obvious
defects.
Note: Many manufacturer
warranties are only effective
as long as a professional
installer installed the
floor. In these cases, we
will need proof in the form
of a state license or
professional certification
from the installer before a
claim can be filed.
Please be aware the moldings
will not match exactly, they
are designed to be as close a
match as possible. Moldings
will have color differences
and shade variances from the
product itself. Moldings not
matching the product will not
be considered a manufacture
defect and no claim can be
issued for this reason.
Note: Bamboo samples are only
to be used to show finish
quality and to show the
milling of the product. They
are not meant as a color
guide. With bamboo flooring
its impossible to have a
sample from one batch match
flooring from another
batch.
If, because of extenuating
circumstances, an order needs
to be canceled/returned after
it has been shipped out, the
customer is responsible for
shipping and return freight
charges.
All returns require a Return
Authorization Number, and may
be subject to a minimum
return quantity of 4 items or
more. Please note also that
any refused shipment without
the consent of our company
will be treated as a return
and will be subjected to all
the costs associated with a
return. All requests for
return must be made within 15
days of receiving our
products. Return of area rugs
must be made within three
days of purchase.
Returns will not be accepted
for trims, moldings, area rug
pads, accessories and product
overages not used.
There will be a restocking
fee of 20% on all
canceled/returned orders, 25%
on all canceled and returned
area rugs. If the product is
in transit, you will be
responsible for all costs
associated with shipping to
and from the scheduled
destination and back to the
warehouse. Product must be in
the same condition it was
when it was shipped. All
shipping damage or missing
items must be noted on the
freight receipt/Bill of
Lading when signing for the
shipment. Any damage that is
not noted on the paper work
will not be covered. When you
have a delivery you should
expect delivery up to your
door or as close as the truck
can get to your property;
however you are expected to
offload the materials, so
plan accordingly. Lift gates
are available for those who
would prefer to pay for the
convenience of having the
materials offloaded by the
carrier and prices vary
according to the carrier. If
you choose to request a lift
gate, this will be above the
costs that you paid for
shipping. It is highly
recommended that you contact
the carrier again when the
day of your scheduled
delivery arrives, so that you
may confirm the
appointment.
