What do I do if I receive damaged tiles?
What do I do if I receive damaged tiles?
Although we try to package our tiles so there is not damage, it is possible it can occur. All we ask is that you report any damage to us within 3 days of receiving your tiles. You can send us an email along with pictures of the damage tile. Please keep all shipping materials until your replacement tile has arrived. We will file a claim with the shipping company. If you have damage to a mesh mounted mosaic, lets say for example you have 3 sheets that has damage, we will ship you one sheet to cover the replacements. Since the mesh mounted sheet tiles can be cut or removed, they can easily be replaced when installing. On field or loose tiles, send us a picture of all the damage tiles, now remember some tiles can be used as cuts when you are installing and that can be part of your cut and waste percentage when figuring.
