Frequently Asked Questions
What is your return window?
Eligible merchandise may be returned within 30 calendar days of delivery. A Return Material Authorization (RMA) must be requested, and the authorized merchandise must also be physically returned to the designated Arda Ogan warehouse within the same 30-calendar-day period.
Is the 7-day inspection period different from the 30-day return period?
Yes. The 7-day inspection period applies to reporting damaged, missing, incorrect, or concealed damaged merchandise after delivery. The 30-day return period applies to eligible standard returns and requires both an approved Return Material Authorization (RMA) and the physical return of the merchandise within 30 calendar days of delivery.
How long do I have to report damaged, missing, or incorrect merchandise?
Customers must inspect their order upon delivery and report any damaged, missing, incorrect, or concealed damaged merchandise within 7 calendar days of delivery. Claims submitted after this period may not be accepted.
Can I wait until my installer begins the project before inspecting my tile?
No. The inspection period begins on the delivery date, not the installation date. Waiting until your project begins or leaving cartons unopened does not extend the 7-day inspection period.
What should I do if my shipment arrives damaged?
If possible, inspect the shipment before signing the carrier's delivery receipt. Note any visible damage or shortages on the delivery receipt, take photographs of the pallet, cartons, shipping labels, and damaged material, and contact Arda Ogan as soon as possible.
