After Receiving Your Order
Ardi Bathrooms ships all products in the most robust possible packaging, and selects the most appropriate shipping carrier based on the items ordered. However, sometimes breakage may occur due to carrier mishandling while in transit to you. Should this happen, we will require at least two clear pictures of any damages to be either mailed or e-mailed to our customer service team (support@ardibathrooms.com) as evidence for any claim we may make against the freight carrier, and as a requirement to receive credit or replacement merchandise. Ardi Bathrooms reserves the right to replace damaged merchandise within 14 calendar days of notification by the customer. If a replacement item is available for shipping within that period of time then a refund cannot be issued. If no replacement is available, the damaged item(s) will be refunded in full.
Visible Loss or Damage
Before accepting the shipment, examine the box carefully. If you see any damage you can whether open the box together with the shipping company representative and be sure that everything is fine or do not accept the box and return it to the shipping company. Inform Ardi Bathrooms about this incident.
Concealed Loss or Damage
Any damage that occurred during transit that was not visible at the time of delivery is considered concealed loss or damage. Due to rough handling in transit, it is possible to damage the contents of a container without damaging the container itself. If such a situation occurs it is important to contact Ardi Bathrooms immediately for instructions on how to handle the claim. If a claim is to be filed it is important to save the container that the damaged merchandise arrived in. You must open all received boxes and inspect products for concealed damage within 7 calendar days of delivery and Ardi Bathrooms must be notified at that time. After this timeframe, claims may not be honored.
Cancellations and Returns
1. If an order is cancelled prior to shipment, payment will be fully
refunded minus a 5% bank credit card processing charge. This is necessary to
cover our costs incurred by the credit card processing agencies, which are
non-reversible. Orders cancelled that were paid by cash or check will not
incur this charge. Note that we consider your product to be "shipped" when
it has been picked up from our warehouse by the freight carrier. After
products are considered “shipped”, cancellations are treated as returns as
described below.
2. All returns require a Return Merchandise Authorization (RMA) from our
Customer Service Department. Please call 818 484 7467 to obtain an RMA. No
returns will be accepted or any credit granted without an RMA. To provide
any credit or replacement units we must first have a chance to receive and
completely inspect your return.
3. All claims for returns under the No Risk 30 Day Return Policy must be
made within 30 calendar days of receipt of merchandise, and only apply to
merchandise in perfect condition. This policy does NOT apply to damaged
merchandise claims. Shipping charges on returns shall be the responsibility
of the customer and all returned items must be returned in "new" or "like
new" condition, in undamaged original manufacturer's packaging and crating
materials when applicable and with all original product manuals and
instructions. After the product is received, inspected and verified to be in
"like new" condition, a full refund will be provided on the product purchase
price minus any original shipping charges and minus a 20%
restocking/re-handling charge. For products sold with "Free Shipping" or
"Flat Rate Shipping”, the actual freight cost to originally ship the product
will be deducted from your refund.
4. Shipping charges on returns due to no fault of the customer shall be the
responsibility of Ardi Bathrooms. All returned items must be
returned in the condition in which they were received, in undamaged original
manufacturer's packaging, and crating materials when applicable, and with
all original product manuals and instructions. After the product is
received, inspected and verified to be in "as claimed" condition, a full
refund will be provided on the product purchase.
5. If you refuse an item delivered by a commercial freight company for any
reason other than externally visible damaged merchandise or a shipping error
by us, the item shall be treated as a return and charges described in
Section 3 above shall be applied. Any additional freight carrier charges
shall be billed to you.
6. Please note that custom orders may not be returned. If such products are
damaged in shipment, we will assist you with freight claims, or if a product
is found to have a manufacturing defect – it will be repaired or replaced
based on manufacturer's warranty policies.
7. Items returned must ALWAYS be sent via ground transportation, insured by
the sender. Shipping charges for items that are sent back by any means other
than ground transportation (cheapest available) will be the responsibility
of the sender minus the cost of the ground freight charge. This includes
when the item is being returned at our expense – it must be sent cheapest
method possible. Ardi Bathrooms will pay the freight and insurance
for items returned due to manufacturer error, damages or any other reason
that is not caused by the purchaser. Receiving Your Shipment
When receiving your shipment it is important to do the following:
1. We use DHL, FedEx or other freight carrier for our deliveries. In some
cases (larger orders), your shipment may consist of a number of individual
boxes placed on a single pallet. The pallet may need to be separated to be
unloaded. Unless specifically requested, no truck lift-gate service is
ordered for delivery. Please note that you may need to have at least one
other person to help the driver with unloading. If you do require additional
unloading help or lift-gate services from the carrier, you may contact the
freight carrier directly to request such service, however any additional
charges for custom unloading are to be your responsibility.
2. Count all pieces of your freight. Ensure that all pieces are accounted
for.
3. Check shipment for any visible damage to containers. If the boxes are
dented, crushed, scratched, punctured, or cut it is very important to mark
this on the bill of lading. If there is a possibility of damage, it may be
necessary to open the box and mark the actual damage on the bill of lading.
It is important to be specific.
4. Due to the nature of the products we sell, boxes that have been dropped
may not show obvious signs of external damage. This is very unusual, but
could happen. You may want to open these specific boxes before the driver
leaves to ensure that the contents do not have concealed damage. The driver
may refuse to allow you the time to open specific boxes - if this is the
case, open the boxes as soon as possible, but not later than 3 business days
after the delivery, to inspect for damage. If we need to replace a damaged
item, it is in your best interest to contact us immediately, so we do not
sell out of this item during the time you waited to report the issue. If the
item is no longer available, customer service will assist you to make
alternative arrangements, or arrange a refund.
Refusing a Freight Shipment & Freight Carrier Fees
If the shipment is damaged and unusable, it may be necessary to refuse part
or all of the order. Call our shipping department at 818 484 7467 before
refusing any shipment. Ardi Bathrooms will assist in filing a
freight claim for damaged freight if the carrier is our normal in-house
carrier. If the consignee chose the carrier then it will be the
responsibility of the consignee to file such a claim.
Should a shipment arrive with damages caused by the carrier, the carrier
will return the merchandise "Dead Head" at no cost to either party. Do not
attempt to return any shipment back to Ardi Bathrooms or the
originating factory without prior authorization from Ardi Bathrooms.
Please review the Ardi Bathrooms Return Policy for
additional information.
Please note that any additional freight carrier's fees such as re-delivery,
special notification and lift-gate services are the responsibility of the
customer (unless otherwise noted on your order). If such services are
requested by you and billed to Ardi Bathrooms, all such fees shall
then be re-billed to your credit card. If the freight carrier is unable to
deliver the freight due to problems with contacting you or setting up
delivery appointments, storage fees may be assessed by the carrier – in such
case all storage fees are the responsibility of the customer and shall be
billed to your credit card.
