Shipping & Return Policy
After Receiving Your Order
Bath Kitchen and Beyond 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
(info@bathkitchenandbeyond.com)
as evidence for any claim we may make against the freight carrier,
and as a requirement to receive credit or replacement merchandise.
Bath Kitchen and Beyond 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
Any external evidence of loss or damage that occurred during transit
is considered visible loss or damage and must be noted on the bill
of lading and signed by the carrier's agent (driver). Failure to
adequately describe the visible loss or damage could result in the
carrier delaying or refusing to honor the freight claim.
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 Bath Kitchen and Beyond
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 Bath Kitchen and Beyond 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 1-888-667-3441 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 Bath Kitchen and Beyond. 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. Bath
Kitchen and Beyond 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
1-888-667-3441 before refusing any shipment. Bath Kitchen and Beyond
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 Bath Kitchen
and Beyond or the originating factory without prior authorization
from Bath Kitchen and Beyond. Please review the Bath Kitchen and
Beyond 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 Bath Kitchen and
Beyond, 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. |
