Wood Imperfections
Shutters by Sunbelt Shutters are manufactured to industry standards. Minor imperfections or blemishes not easily noticeable under ordinary lighting conditions in normal installations are not considered defects. Warp of any component that does not exceed 1/32 inch per foot will not be considered a defect.

Delivery Times
Sunbelt Shutters averages 15 to 20 business days for production of our standard-sized shutters. Shutter sizes that exceed the standard sizes (sizes that are available via the web order form) may take longer. There may be times that our production schedule exceeds 20 business days, but production times over 20 business days is not typical.

Priming adds 2 days to the production of the shutter order.

Shipping time is additional and can vary from 1 to 8 days depending on the destination. The shutters are shipped from Alabama.

Products that do not meet our quality standards will be repaired or, if repair is not possible, remade. We will not be responsible for faulty installation, incorrect measurements, incorrect specifications, or alteration by any other party.

Shortages & Freight Damage
Check all shipments carefully for damage and piece count upon receipt. Discovery of shortage or damage at the time of receipt is the customer's responsibility. If a package is damaged, refuse it. We will file claims for all refused packages. If a damaged package is accepted, notify the carrier and request an immediate inspection. Keep the packing in which the order was shipped.

If there is a shortage or minor shipping damage is visible (or concealed damage is suspected) and you keep the package, have the delivering driver sign your copy of the freight bill noting the damage or shortage. The purchaser is responsible for filing all claims for accepted merchandise. Please call Sunbelt Shutters for assistance if needed.


Return Policy on non-warranty and non-damaged items
Because shutters are assembled to order in over 800 sizes, it is unlikely they could be resold or reused if returned. Therefore, shutters are not returnable nor orders cancelable once production has begun. We do not offer refunds on custom shutters unless the shutters are not built per the order measurements.

Non-Custom Shutter hardware is returnable, if the packaging has not been opened. If hardware packaging is OPEN, returns are subject to a 25% restocking fee. Call Sunbelt Shutters at 1-888-778-4774 for return authorization and return shipping address. Shipping fees are not refundable.

Custom-cut bahama hinges are non-refundable.
