Damage Policy
We take great care in packaging all products to ensure safe transit. However, damage may occasionally occur during shipping. Please follow this policy to ensure your claim is processed smoothly.
Inspection Requirements
- Inspect tiles immediately upon delivery
- All damage claims must be submitted within 72 hours of receipt
- Customers are not responsible for damage that occurs during transit
If Your Order Arrives Damaged
Do not initiate a return request. Instead, submit a damage claim by following these steps:
1. Document the Damage
If the pallet or carton shows visible external damage, note this on the Bill of Lading (BOL).
2. Take Clear Photos
Capture the following:
- Each damaged tile
- External packaging showing any damage
3. Submit Your Claim
Email your photos to woostiles@woostiles.com and include:
- Your order number
- Number of damaged pieces
- Additional delivery/handling information (e.g., was the outer box damaged? Was the pallet already unwrapped upon delivery?)
4. Important Deadlines
- Claims must be submitted within 72 hours of receipt
- Claims submitted after this window cannot be processed
- If delivered to a job site, you are responsible for ensuring inspection occurs within the required timeframe
5. Retain Damaged Materials
Keep all damaged materials until the claim process is complete, as the carrier may request an on-site inspection.
Note: Woos Tiles is not responsible for handling or disposing of damaged products.
Processing Time
