This means that the risk of loss or damage and title for such items pass to you, the buyer, upon our delivery to the carrier. The shipment will leave our dock in perfect condition. If manufactured by our company it will be built to completion as per our website description and/or any adjustments discussed with the buyer. outdoorsfireplace.com is not liable for damage or shortage not noted on the delivery receipt. If you received damaged merchandise and need to file a claim, please contact a sales associate. All shortage or damage must be reported by email or fax within 48 hours of receipt.
SHIPPING/FREIGHT CHARGES:
Although we quote you a time frame for your shipping schedule, this is approximate due to the nature of our business. Shipping times may vary from more to less depending on many variable factors. We try very hard to match our production schedule with our sales department's volume but exactly sychronizing both is not always possible.
Products shipped within some areas such as the five boroughs of New York, Long Island, Martha's Vineyard or to other restricted access areas an additional charge will apply depending on shipping company. This is due to the transportation surcharge or transport for delivery to these areas. We will notify you of the cost before processing your order, if these conditions apply, and you may accept or cancel the order based on these conditions.
DEFECTIVE MERCHANDISE:
Merchandise that becomes defective within the warranty period will be subject to the manufacturer warranty terms and conditions. It is sometimes necessary to bill for all replacement parts and units and the credit once the defective merchandise is returned directly to the manufacturer and we issue credit to our customers when manufacturer issues credit to us. This process can take up to 4-6 weeks. The shipping cost on defective parts and units will be the responsibility of the customers as the manufacturer warranty does not cover shipping. All replacement parts and products will be billed to the credit card. We will credit the card once defective or damaged products are returned.
MADE TO ORDER MERCHANDISE:
Although we make the product to look like the picture of the item you purchased, the custom built items and products we manufacture are construction items made one at a time with a combination of factory machines and hand made processes, which results in differences of color, texture, design, style, and dimensions. Just one example: Tile availability is always changing so we use the closest match available to us at the time of production. If you want very detailed and exact results you are responsible for having us put that in writing on your purchase order and/or supplying us with physical samples because, for example, computer monitors vary in their representation of color.
EXCHANGES/RETURNS:
Due to the custom nature of our built-to-order products. ALL SALES ARE FINAL.
50% Restocking Fee plus outgoing freight will be deducted before refund on authorized returns. Exchanges will be at The Outdoors Fire Place. discretion.
NOTE: ANY PRODUCTS THAT ARE INSTALLED OR ALTERED BY THE CUSTOMER ARE NOT ELIGIBLE FOR EXCHANGE

The Outdoors Fire Place. is not a "try out service". Once you have purchased an item from one of our web sites an exchange will be permitted for genuine defects in the purchased item. We are very customer service oriented but have had some abuses of our generosity and efforts in the past.
