• The credit should be visible on your credit card statement within 3-5 business days (varies by credit card company). 
• Please allow 1-2 weeks after delivery of the returned item to inspect the return and for our Customer Service Department to process your refund.

Defective or Damaged Merchandise/Missing Parts

Please thoroughly inspect your products immediately upon delivery. Maintain the original packaging until you have determined that the product is satisfactory.  In the rare occurrence that a product arrives damaged, or with missing parts, please contact our Customer Service Department immediately.  At times, pictures of the damaged item may be required prior to determining a resolution.  You must contact us within five days from the date of delivery to report damaged, missing or defective merchandise. After the five-day period, the product cannot be reported as damaged, defective, missing parts and/or returned for exchange or refund.

Freight Items

Freight items must be thoroughly examined at the time of delivery. In the event that the freight item arrives damaged please thoroughly inspect the package for any external or internal damages while the driver is present. If damage has occurred follow the instructions on the Freight Terms & Conditions you received and agreed to prior to shipment, and contact our customer service. Once you have received and signed for the package, the shipping company and PatioHeatingDirect are released from any responsibility for damage and all damage claims will be denied, so it is essential to inspect the package thoroughly.

When returning an item that was initially shipped freight, it is essential that the item be returned via freight shipping service.  The packaging used for items that are shipped freight may not be sufficient for ground shipment handling. Items returned damaged will not receive a refund.
