Return & Exchange Policy  

Our Manufactures fabricates most of its’ products ‘made to order’.  These items are often based on the client’s budget, design wishes, and color selection. This is especially true for Coastal Design Concepts Playgrounds, Coastal Design Concepts Shade, Coastal Design Concepts Shelter, and Coastal Design Concepts Site Amenities.

 

Due to the high customization of products, to return an item, one must contact Coastal Design Concepts Customer Care at 424-666-7759 and receive a Return Merchandise Authorization (RMA).   Coastal Design Concepts nor our Manufactures will not be responsible or accept returns without this RMA and any shipping costs incurred for unauthorized returned shipments will be the responsibility of the customer.  All returns must be in the original packaging, must be in new condition, and must include manufacturer documents and installation manuals.

 

Any product that is deemed ‘customized’ or ‘special order’ may not be returned.  All items must be returned within 30 days of the original shipment date.  Additionally, no items of the total value of $100 dollars or less may be returned.  A minimum 25% restocking fee will apply to all Coastal Design Concepts Component orders.  Please note that for any authorized RMA for Shade, Shelter, and Amenity orders, an additional 15% handling fee could apply for returns depending upon the initial complexity and customization of the order and final acceptance for any returns is the sole discretion of Coastal Design Concepts. The customer will be responsible for all original freight charges, return freight charges, and additional shipping and handling fees, and applicable taxes. The CCR issuing the RMA will advise you of the address in which your return will be sent to.
