Terms and Conditions
Shipping Policy
Most orders are shipped via UPS. All items are shipped from the manufacturer’s warehouse directly to you. Shipping only applies to the 48 continental United States. We do not ship to Alaska or Hawaii. If the item you ordered is not in stock we will notify you ASAP and money will be refunded.
Note: Please carefully inspect your purchase immediately upon arrival for any damage or defects. You must keep original packaging until you have inspected your items and found them satisfactory.
Most orders ship from the warehouse within 7-10 business days, if not sooner. UPS usually takes up to 6 business days to deliver an order, depending on the distance. Most orders are delivered within two weeks, except during the holiday periods when shipping times can be longer. We cannot be held accountable for delays involving shipment handling by UPS.
Ventless-Gel-Fireplace.com is not responsible for any time guarantees in shipping, and we cannot and will not be responsible for any inconvenience or any monetary loss, penalty, or extra charge incurred by our customers should any delivery take longer than anticipated.
We guarantee against manufacturer’s defects for 30 days from the date of purchase. Return authorization must be obtained before returning any product. We may not be held liable for any misuse of our products. This warranty does not cover claims for damage due to abuse, neglect, or alteration. In such cases as shipping or packaging damages may incur, please preview our return policy below. We will certainly help with the filing of any claims as a result of packaging or shipping damages where the manufacturer or UPS is liable.
Holiday Season
Shipping time during our busy season can sometimes be extended. From September 30 to January 30 of each year, please allow 2 - 3 weeks shipping from when you place an order to the time you receive it.
