  • Custom orders shipping to other points of entry may not be held beyond the last “free day” for the applicable port. An inability to accept delivery may incur additional fees.

Delivery

  • Estimated delivery dates are not valid for claims or delay claim purposes.
  • We do our best to provide the best estimate for delivery but cannot be held responsible for delays caused by weather, trucking schedules, customs examinations, or other events out of our control.
  • When the pallet of tile arrives; check for external damage with the driver present. External damages do not always mean the tile has been damaged.
  • Check the top of the pallet to see if it looks like it has had something stacked on it during transit. Note this on driver's paperwork.
  • If there appears to be damage, inspect the boxes for damaged tiles. Take digital photos. Note all damages on the driver's paperwork.
  • The tile must be inspected promptly and any damage reported to us within 3 days.
  • We have one week to file a claim with the freight company; no claim is possible after that time.
  • Retain packaging from broken tile. The carrier may send out an agent to view it.
  • Any damage must be noted on the driver's paperwork. Take digital photos. Contact Villa Lagoon Tile immediately 251-968-3375.

About Our Products

  • Handmade tile and block orders are non-refundable and non-returnable so we encourage our clients to order a sample. This helps clients to know what to expect and prevent any disappointments.
  • Tile and block orders should include a minimum of 10% more tile than the needed coverage for cuts, breaks, etc. ( BobVila.com recommends 15% ).
  • Expect tonal variations of color in any batch. This is the nature of hand-crafted cement products. Variations in color tone are not valid for claims or refunds.
  • Our tiles and blocks must be stored indoors until time of installation. Storing outdoors, in extreme moisture, or otherwise allowing the boxes to become wet may result in stained or discolored items.
  • All items must be examined by buyer before installation. Villa Lagoon Tile shall not be responsible or liable for any complaint or claim after the installation.
  • All cement tiles are very porous and MUST be sealed. Cement tile will not show its final brilliant colors until it is sealed. We have painstakingly tested the best grout release / sealers to provide for the long-term preservation of the tiles.

Thank you for your business. We hope you love your new beautiful tile!
