Refund
Policy & Our Risk-Free Guarantee!
The vast majority of our customers
love our products...very few people ever return what they have
bought. We have less than a 1% return rate,
which is quite extraordinary in this industry; and most of those are due to either a
"size" or a "color" conflict as opposed to a
"quality" problem. In the eighteen years we have been in
business, we haven't had more than a handful of returns in
any given year.
However, for those rare situations
that customers do decide to return their items, we have the following
refund policies. They will depend on the type of product you have bought
and whether or not it was shipped to one of the 48 contiguous United
States or whether it was shipped somewhere else.
Before returning your product, please
follow the instructions in red at the bottom of this page. Deviation
from these instructions may prevent you from receiving a proper credit.
Cowhides
Most
of our
full natural colored cowhides may be returned at any time within 90 days of
delivery if they are in resalable condition. This does not include
closeout items which will have a 30 day time limit to return, nor do they
include rare one of a kind hides that have an actual 3 digit
number assigned to them...example, B790. These are so uncommon
that we can easily sell them to someone else very quickly. As a
result, hides that have this 3 digit number in the product code
must be returned within 30 days. To be resalable and to get a
refund, the cowhide must be folded the way we sent it to you to prevent unnecessary
crease marks. Please call us to find out how to fold them before you return your
order. All this is to keep people from folding the hide
"every which way" resulting in folds and creases that
will probably never completely come out.
Calfskins
And Cowhide Pillows
Our
calfskins and cowhide pillows can be returned anytime within 30
days from the time of delivery.
Custom
Cowhide Ottomans
Your
cowhide ottoman can be returned within the first 30 days
from the time of delivery. Of course it must be lacking any sign
of wear, water or storm damage. A 3% restocking fee will
be subtracted from the total of their item paid. Probably the
hardest part of making an ottoman is picking out the right hide.
This can literally take 1-2 hours by the time we pick it, send a
picture back and forth to the customer, discuss it and then
finally decide on one. As a result, we will charge the card as
soon as we start looking for the hides. Once we charge the card,
if the order is cancelled at anytime, this restocking fee will be
charged.
Designer
Custom Made Rugs
Since
custom rugs are made to order in a particular size and color,
there can be no refunds or exchanges once production starts. Our
guarantee to you is that your rug or bedspread will be of
superior quality, made by expert craftsmen and easily within the
color range that we have agreed on.
Since most of the squares are cut out by hand, some variance in
sizes is to be expected.
Again, once we begin actual production, there will be no refund.
However, one can cancel their order up to the point that we
begin gathering the hides or skins. Up to this time, a customer
can cancel their order and only pay a 15% pre-production fee.
Before You Return Your Order
Please
carefully follow these instructions when returning your order to enable
us to
properly credit your account. Since emails can go "undelivered", our company cannot
guarantee proper credit if a customer simply emails us about returning a
product rather than calling for
instructions. As a result, please do not email us concerning any
return. Once we receive the product in resalable condition, you will then be issued
a credit, generally within 48-72 hours.
Since we can ship
products from different places, you must make sure you have the proper return
address by calling one of the two numbers below.
(1-800-591-4235 or 904-923-6720).
You may use either UPS,
Federal
Express or DHL to
make the return. The Post Office is not an option: we simply have had too many
mishaps involving packages being returned by the Post Office. You must also insure the
package for the item's purchase price and have a receipt for the transaction.
All
returned items must be in resalable condition. When returning cowhides, one
must not only call us for instructions in properly folding a
cowhide, but must also return it in a box large enough so
unnecessary fold marks and creases will not develop. Please note
that a refund will not be issued if a cowhide is not folded
properly resulting in creases that can make the hide not saleable.
Lastly, the box that the hide came in may be too small
for a customer to use since it takes practice folding cowhides.
As a result, a larger box may be required.
Actual shipping and
handling costs incurred in shipping your item plus a 3% restocking fee
will be deducted from your total purchase price before issuing a credit. This applies
to all orders, including orders that had "free shipping". This
also applies to packages that were either refused or not delivered because
someone was not present to accept it. Any items that are purchased for shows, parties or
special events are not refundable. We have actually had
customers purchase pieces to show at a party for an evening and then try to return them.
