Damages

Once a shipment has left our warehouse we are not liable for damage or loss of merchandise. Should this occur we recommend you follow these procedures:

UPS Shipments / Postal Shipments

If the shipment shows outward evidence of damage, open the package before signing the delivery form. Do not refuse delivery. Notify your local UPS distribution center or Post Office. Do not alter the carton or the damaged goods until an inspection by the appropriate agency has been made. The package will be picked up and returned to us. We will then replace or repair the merchandise.

Truck Shipments

If damage or loss is evident, indicate it on the carrier's delivery form. Do not refuse the shipment. File a claim immediately with the carrier and then notify us. Keep all packaging materials and the damaged goods until inspection has been made.

Back Orders and Substitutions

We do, but only if you say so when you place your order. This option is given at the time of purchase and will better help us to fill your order in a timely manner according to your preferences. If you think you have made an error during the ordering process, then please contact our Customer Care Center and we will be happy to assist you.

If a ordered product is not in stock then we will back order it for up to 30 days. You may choose not to have this happen at the time of purchase.

We will notify you if your order will be delayed or for some reason cannot be filled.

Returns

If you need to make a return we ask that you follow a few simple procedures. When your shipment arrives, make sure you receive the number of boxes you have signed for on the carrier receipt.

If defective or incorrect merchandise is received through an error on our part, please notify us within two working days. We will issue a call tag and pay shipping both ways. Returns will only be accepted within 30 days of purchase.

Do not return any merchandise without prior approval! Unauthorized returns will not be credited.

All items returned for other than defective merchandise will be subject to a strictly enforced 15% handling charge and the customer must pay all shipping and insurance charges both ways. No credit or refund on glass, books, patterns, lead, zinc or brass came, chemicals, foil and any items not in its original manufacturers package or any special ordered item. All returned items must be in "factory fresh condition" showing no signs of use or wear.

If incorrect quantities are received, we must be notified within two working days after receipt. Failure to do so shall be considered evidence that Alpine Stained Glass and Door has satisfactorily performed its obligations.
