Customer Care:
Wholesale Inquiries & Bulk:
Thank you from the bottom of my heart for visiting and viewing TOB (Tricked Out Birdhouse). While I strive to be perfect, we all know things happen. Please let me know if there is a damaged or missing component or accessory to your new Masterpiece or order. With thanx; please read our policies below.
​
A. Returns: With one exception on apparel, There are NO returns, refunds or exchanges on any works of art. (Sculptures, Models, Paintings, Photos, Hand painted items). This is just not possible for us to do with shipping pricing and scams. Please read Below.
All sales are final. (Apparel exceptions)
B. Missing Parts or Accessories: We photograph every shipment in the packaging during handling and packing so it is very unlikely there would be a missing component. If we did miss something like (one of our kit parts for example). Please contact us and we will get it out to you ASAP.
C. Damage on delivery: Shipping can be rough but I package the works very very well (too well the wife says). Contact us and let us know if there is. We ask that you send us Photos of the damage area and the box so I may improve what I can and to see if a simple repair is warranted. If there is any damage on delivery this would be a shipping claim. I would then contact the carrier and make an insurance claim. This process may take two or more weeks. Once this process is complete You my return the piece and a refund will be given. OR You may opt for repairs if possible. We do not directly refund as this is not possible do to scams. Any one Item over $100 must/will be shipped with insurance. This is reflected in the shipping price. (this is subject to change)
D. Repairs: If your Piece has been damaged or used outdoors,
Is warn or scratched or broken. They may be repaired at the customers expense. Contact me for shipping and repair cost.
(MUST be packaged well) any extra damage may increase
price. Sometimes a repair may be simply adding an extra component to hide, disguise or change the damaged location. the model may look slightly different due to the repair but you'll never know it was damaged. Very simple repairs can be made by the customer if warranted and you may contact me for help.
Apparel & Gear:
Only "Defective" apparel (T-Shirts etc.) and gear (bags, tumblers etc.) items and "misprints" can be exchanged for the same "EXACT" item only. Pictures of the problem will be needed, No exceptions. This is the printers Policy. Please make sure you purchase the correct sizes and items as there are no returns for the wrong item, size, color or accidental orders. We TOB "CANNOT" process a refund, however we are happy to have the order replaced if the clothing item is damaged or misprinted. Please allow about two weeks as the refund is processed through Printify and my printer. (their policies). Again We have no options or way to give you a refund. Our Artistic apparel is printed through Printify using the best textile fabrics we can get through the best printers we can find. We do our best to provide the BEST QUALITY we can by ordering and testing the quality of the material and prints through Printers like Underground Threads & Swiftpod; who print for large manufacturing lines and labels. I DO NOT LIKE cheap stuff. This may reflect in our pricing. I believe that "You get what you pay for".
We are a Two person team and do not have the resources for wholesale. But please contact us for inquiries on bulk orders of our accessories, Trinkets and supplies. We may be able to provide discounts.
