Returns Policy
Artistic Finishes’ products received by customers that are deemed unsatisfactory, due to a defect in quality or workmanship, may be returned for replacement or credit.
We do not accept returns on product already installed. No reimbursement will be given on freight/shipping costs from the original order. The return freight/shipment costs will be covered by Artistic Finishes when you use the shipping label provided with the Returned Goods Authorization (RGA) number. No returns will be accepted without prior written authorization from Artistic Finishes’ Returns Department. CASH REFUNDS WILL NOT BE GIVEN.
Natural and Unfinished Product: Wood is a natural product and subject to variation in color, character, and grain. Due to the organic nature of wood variations we do not accept returns for unfinished or natural prefinished products due to color, character or grain complaints. Natural prefinished product is defined as raw wood product with a clear gloss or oil applied. No returns will be accepted for any reason for unfinished Enduracor as it has only been tested using Artistic Finishes' finishing method.
Unfinished Exotic Notice: Unfinished exotic species are more prone to warp, check or delaminate when not stained or treated with a top-coat on site at our warehouse. Staining and top-coating product helps protect it against changes in humidity. Uncontrollable circumstances happen when product is exposed to short or long term moisture swings involving the relative humidity, whereby affecting the EMC (Equilibrium Moisture Content) of these listed species. Due to the uncontrollable circumstances of the following unfinished species, we will not accept returns for any product of the species listed other than goods damaged during shipping. All warping, checking, or delaminating of various engineered or solid wood components are not covered under the warranty. Finishing exotic species at our warehouse stabilizes the exposure to moisture. We highly recommend ordering finished product in these wood species. See the full list online.
