At Arbor Floor Store, we’re committed to ensuring your complete satisfaction with our premium flooring products. We understand that sometimes a return or exchange is necessary, and we’ve designed this policy to make the process as smooth and transparent as possible.

Key Policy Highlights:

  • Return Window: 15 days from delivery date
  • Condition: Products must be unopened and in original packaging
  • Refund Processing: 5-7 business days after we receive your return
  • Return Shipping: Customer responsibility (except for defective items)

Eligibility for Returns & Exchanges

What Can Be Returned

  • Unopened products in original, undamaged packaging
  • Products with manufacturing defects (we’ll cover return shipping)
  • Incorrect items shipped by our team

What Cannot Be Returned

  • Opened boxes of flooring materials
  • Custom-cut or special order items
  • Products damaged due to improper installation or handling
  • Clearance or final sale items (clearly marked at purchase)

Important Note: Due to the specialized nature of our premium flooring products, including our signature ARB265W and SMARTCORE vinyl collections, we cannot accept returns on opened boxes as these materials are specifically measured and prepared for your projects.
