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.
