Q. Do I have
to be a trade professional to
buy from LuxeTile?
A. LuxeTile is a
distributor providing top
quality materials. from our
warehouses throughout North
America. We provide these
materials to both trade and
consumers. For volume orders,
i.e. greater than 600 sf, we can
provide discounted quotations on
multiple pallet orders. We
also can ship container orders
and cut to order directly from
select manufacturers and
delivered to your job site or
distribution point of your
choice. This is done through
our container business located
here.
If you are not a
member of the trade, you may
purchase directly from LuxeTile.
We would encourage you to
request that your designer or
contractor create an account and
process these purchases on your
behalf. Your
contractor/designer can help you
with confirming quantities and
ordering any accessories that
are required and they receive
access to a variety of benefits
including our sampling program,
loyalty program, etc.
Q. How long
will it take to receive my
shipment?
A. Typically,
most products are in stock and
ready to ship. Shipping times
will vary depending on the
location of the product vs. your
delivery location. Average
delivery times are approximately
4-10 business days from the
confirmation of your order. If
you select an item that is
Special Order, we will advise
you of a more specific delivery
schedule based on your product.
Q. Is there a
minimum order requirement?
A. The
minimum order size for our
stone products is 100 SF in
order to receive the published
pricing. This will include
our limestone, travertine,
granite, marble, exotic,
pebblestone and paver lines.
Any less than full pallet orders
will require special packing may
incur additional crating and
handling fees. After
you process your order online,
we will advise you within 1
business day if these charges
will apply.
For our other lines, there is no
minimum order quantity, however,
at times some additional
handling fees may apply.
Q. How much
material do I need to order?
A. You will need
to calculate the square footage
of your area and then add an
additional 10-15% for “waste”
which includes corner cuts,
accidental breakage during
installation, etc. For diamond
layout patterns you should
include an additional 20% as
there is a larger waste factor
in cutting tiles with this
layout pattern. Please also
consult with your installer.
Q. How long
does it take to receive my
sample order?
A. We do try to
ship out sample orders the day
of receipt or the next day and
will be shipped according to
shipping method specified. In
certain cases, we may be in the
process of updating our sample
inventory for a specific item to
reflect the most current lot(s)
available, which may delay the
sample. Back orders for samples
will be shipped out as soon as
they are available.
Q. How is the
product delivered?
A. Some products
will be shipped via UPS and some
will be shipped via common
carrier. For common
carrier deliveries, you
can request the carrier to
contact you in advance of the
delivery in order to arrange a
delivery time window. Shipping
times vary and are not
guaranteed, unless you elect a
guaranteed delivery service.
We will do everything we can
ensure your delivery is as
seamless as possible. Additional
delivery services provided by
the carriers include lift gate
for residential deliveries,
which is a special delivery
truck with an elevator lift in
the back so that the product can
be lowered to the ground for
ease of removal. Certain site
issues should be considered when
receiving your delivery. Lift
gates work only on paved
surfaces and narrow driveways
may restrict how close a pallet
can be delivered to your home.
In many cases he product will
need to be unloaded at the end
of the driveway and you or your
contractor will need to either
hand carry the boxes to the site
or you may rent a pallet jack
from a local equipment rental
service to place the product
where you desire. In addition,
customers can choose to receive
their product at the nearest
shipping terminal to avoid the
cost of residential and lift
gate charges.
The trucking
company is only responsible for
taking the freight to the back
of their truck and delivering
cargo curbside, unless other
arrangements have been made. It
is your responsibility to take
the freight into the building.
Freight charges billed only
cover you to this point. If
you request inside delivery,
there is an additional charge
from the trucking company and
you are 100% responsible for
these charges regardless of the
size of your order. It is
strongly advised that you ask
the trucking company exactly
what that inside delivery charge
will cover. It usually means
inside the door only. Please
note that these are not LuxeTile
Inc.'s policies but those of
most of the major cargo carriers
within the U.S. Your experience
may depend entirely upon your
individual delivery person. A
lot of times these drivers will
go above and beyond what they
are required to do with a little
kindness and professional
courtesy. Once again, please
feel free to contact us at
sales@luxetile.com or call 877
LUX TILE if you have further
questions.
Q. How do I
pay for the product?
A. We accept
Visa, MasterCard, and American
Express, as well as company
checks, personal checks, money
orders, certified checks or wire
transfers. Orders must be paid
for in full prior to shipping.
Payment by personal or company
check may delay shipment date,
pending clearance of the check.
Q. How do I
know that the product will be
delivered in good condition?
A. LuxeTile uses
a variety of reputable and
proven carriers to provide you
with a reliable delivery at the
lowest available shipping cost.
Damaged goods will either be
replaced by LuxeTile, or we will
provide a credit for the damaged
goods. Typically, only
1% of our orders arrive
damaged. You should
also review our
shipping and ordering process
here.
Q. What do I
do if my product arrives
damaged?
A. While items
are not usually missing or
damaged, it can happen. When it
does happen it is almost always
very minor and easy to correct.
Also, if there are any items
that are missing or damaged, we
replace them at no cost to you.
We email a delivery checklist
with every order which outlines
how to inspect your order once
it arrives. If you note the
damage at the time of delivery
and submit your claim, our
claims department can issue a
replacement order and file a
claim with the freight carrier
at no cost to you.
If you are an existing customer
that had a delivery and there
were items either missing and or
damaged, you will need to submit
a
claim. This is a simple form
that is required and will assist
us in getting the issue resolved
quickly.
Q. What is the
return policy?
A. Please find
our policy here:
http://www.luxetile.com/returnpolicy.aspx
Q. What is
considered a "Special Order"?
A. Special orders
include, but are not limited to,
custom orders, factory direct
orders or other non-standard
inventory items requiring
special consideration on the
part of LuxeTile for either the
manufacturing or distribution
process.
Q. Can I see
the product before I buy?
A. Unfortunately,
we are unable to show you the
product at the warehouse. The
warehouses we use are privately
owned facilities and all
products are in factory-sealed
crates. We suggest ordering a
lot sample and review the
graphics on the website.
Q. How do I
obtain samples?
A. Please see our sample
policy here.
http://www.luxetile.com/samplepolicy.aspx
