Order Cancellation Policy Any confirmed order cannot be cancelled once production has started for an order. If you wish to cancel a confirmed order, please contact our Customer Service Department immediately. We will cancel an order provided that we have not started production of the order if possible.

Ordering Guidelines The following includes a few tips which may be of assistance when taking an order for our doors, and when placing an order: • What door product series are you ordering.....wood, steel, or fiberglass? • Glass panels are available in up to three different insulated glass metal came color options: 1) Satin Nickel, 2) Oil Rubbed Bronze, or 3) Antique Black. Be sure to specify which type of panel assembly is required. Not all panels are available in all options — some designs offer only one color option. • When ordering doors, you will need to know the width and height of the door required. • When ordering sidelites, do you want: 1) 12˝ or 14˝ widths, and 2) 6´ 9˝ or 8´ 1˝ height? • When ordering transoms, be sure to tell us what the door and sidelite configuration will be below the transom, so that you will receive the correct transom width. • When ordering wood doors for a double door installation: 1) let us know at the time you order, so that we can hand-pick the doors for color and grain match, and 2) be sure to order a T-astragal. Color match is not guaranteed. • When ordering any product that is to be prefinished by GlassCraft, you must inform us at the time you place the order.

Return Policy No returns will be accepted or allowed unless prior authorization is approved. To receive a Return Authorization, go to www.glasscraft.com and to the Customer Service drop-down window. Select the Warranty link, then download a Return Material Authorization Form (RMA). The RMA form must be completed with all of the pertinent information. Return the form via email to our After Sales Department with appropriate digital images attached. Processing of your request will begin once GlassCraft has all of the information. Products to be returned must be packaged in the original shipping/crating materials, and shipped upright on a pallet, or credit for the return will not be given. A 15% restocking charge may be charged on returned products, depending upon the specific product. Custom product sales are final, and may not be returned. Our return policy allows customers to return (after authorization from GlassCraft) any standard, stock product (excluding custom products, pre-hangs, or prefinished products) for any reason within 30 days of the customer's receipt of the original shipment from GlassCraft. We will charge a 15% restocking charge. The customer must return the product in perfect, new condition and pack the shipment in the original GlassCraft packaging, and return the shipment freight pre-paid to GlassCraft. If, upon receipt, the product shows any damage or use, then GlassCraft reserves the right to not issue any credit for the returned merchandise. Please note: No returns on any factory-finished products. Please note that a Return Authorization Number is valid for 30 calendar days from the date of issuance, and that the product must be received by GlassCraft within this 30 day period.

Shipping Information Doors, Sidelites, and Transoms Doors with glass are securely packed standing on edge in custom crates and pallets. Orders for single doors will be packed in a 2˝ X 4˝ crate (see photo at right). Orders for 2 or 3 doors will be packed in a 2˝ X 12˝ crate. Orders of 4 doors or more will be packed in our unique 6-door box (see photo at below right). Wood and fiberglass door and sidelite slabs may be shipped flat up to 25 high on a pallet. The door stock number is listed on the edge of the door unit, and the door is placed inside of the appropriate crate type for shipment.

GlassCraft's 6-Door Shipping Box Ship up to six 3’-6’’ x 8’-0’’ door slabs per packaging box or ship a complete KD (knocked down) pre-hung door unit in one easy-to-ship package. Ship it once and ship it right. •

One Door Crate

Pre-hung Entry Systems Shipment and assembly configurations for these units are available in 3 options: 1) Assembled for customer pickup at our factory 2) Pre-machined — K-D (knocked down) and crated for shipment. These entries have been completely assembled, and are then completely disassembled and crated for shipment and reassembly at your location. This ships in our 6-door shipping box. 3) Assembled and crated for shipment. These entries have been completely assembled. Door jamb is assembled, transom if applicable is disassembled. Door slabs are shipped in a separate box. Brick moulding and casing is not mounted. This option includes an extra charge due to the shipment size and amount of packing materials.

6-Door shipping box and pallet

We have found that our customers get the best product and the best results when we ship a pre-hung unit door and frame together in the same shipment. If you require the door frame earlier than the door, we suggest that you order the appropriate door frame jamb kit, and assemble the frame yourself on the job-site. If we ship the frame separately from the door, we cannot guarantee the alignment of the door to the frame, or the alignment of the hardware.

Receiving Your Shipment Please inspect any shipment for damage prior to signing the delivery receipt. If damage is found, you should make a notation on the delivery receipt, and file a claim for damage with the delivering freight carrier, or notify GlassCraft if delivered on a company truck. GlassCraft Door Company assumes no liability for any damage which may occur during shipping. If there is no visible damage to the shipment, we suggest that you note on your delivery receipt/bill of lading not checked for concealed damage at the time of delivery.

Entryway Crated On Pallet

Shipment Error or Shortage If you receive a shipment and there is a shortage, an error, or a defective product, download a copy of our RMA form and email it to our Customer Service Department within 7 days of your receipt of the order, so that we can resolve the problem quickly and completely.

Custom Crating Charges GlassCraft does not add a crating charge for standard size door and entryway units. Units that are larger than our standard sizes will require a customized crate. A crating charge for these larger units will be applied at the time of invoice.

Freight Program Our 2012 Freight Program allows customers to calculate their exact delivered cost on most products. This freight program supersedes any previous freight program. GlassCraft may pay for part or all of the freight costs, depending upon the value of the order and the location of the customer. GlassCraft does not charge for pallets or crating for standard-sized doors or entryways. (Very large custom entryways will have a crating fee added to the order). Please note that these charges may change at any time without prior notice due to unforeseen changes in fuel and freight costs. state

To determine your exact delivered costs, calculate the total number of order “units” contained on your order to be shipped at one time. (Please refer to the definition of a “unit” below). Next, determine your location “zone” by referring to the chart above. Use the “Freight Costs” chart below to determine your exact delivered freight cost. Customers may send multiple Purchase Orders to increase their “unit” total, but they must be faxed at the same time, and these purchase orders will be combined on one GlassCraft shipment and invoice. Shipments will be packaged as efficiently as possible and shipped on the carrier of GlassCraft’s choice. A “unit” is an individual door, or sidelite, or transom. A unit is also a jamb kit, or a pre-hung entry frame. Lastly, a unit is any combination of components, glass panels, wrought iron grilles, etc. that totals $500. As an example, an order for 3 slab doors, 2 sidelites, and $550 in loose jamb legs would equal 6 units. Or a pre-hung unit consisting of 1 door, 2 sidelites, 1 transom plus the pre-hang frame would equal 5 units. For example, if you were shipping 3 slab doors, 2 sidelite and $550 of jamb legs to Orlando (zone 4), then your total freight costs would be $480 (6 total “units”: $180 for the first unit, plus 5 units X $45 or $225, plus 3 assembled charges for shipping the pre-hung unit assembled 3(2 doors + 1 frame) 3 units X $25 = $75. The cost would be $405 if the pre-hung entry unit were shipped K-D. Pre-hung doors and entryways are completely assembled, and are shipped unassembled or assembled. If you want your prehung entry shipped fully assembled, an extra charge will be added to your order if you order less than 12 assembled prehung “units”. This extra charge applies to all shipments, including Freight Paid shipments. Pre-hung entryways that are NOT shipped assembled will be knocked-down, boxed, and will be ready for re-assembly. Example: a fully assembled pre-hung double door entryway will count as 3 shipping units. (2 doors + 1 frame). If shipped to a zone 5 customer, a charge of $90 ($30 x 3 units) will be added, regardless of the total number of shipping units on the individual shipment. (Unassembled “KD” pre-hung units are shipped at no additional charge). All shipments are available for “will call” shipment at our factory. In addition shipments, at the direction of the customer, may be shipped “Freight Collect” for freight payment by the customer.
