Return & Refund Policy
Last Updated: September 8, 2026
We want customers to have a clear process when there is a problem with an order. Because Bluewater Backyard works with multiple third-party suppliers and drop-shipping partners, return procedures may vary depending on the product and supplier.
Return Period
Eligible products may be returned within [INSERT NUMBER, e.g., 30] days of delivery unless a different return period is displayed on the product page or required by applicable law.
To be eligible for a standard return, an item generally must be:
-
Unused
-
Uninstalled
-
Unassembled, where applicable
-
In resalable condition
-
In its original packaging
-
Complete with accessories, manuals, hardware, and components
Proof of purchase may be required.
Return Authorization Required
Please contact Bluewater Backyard before returning any product.
Because our products may be drop-shipped from different suppliers, the correct return destination may be different from the address printed on the package.
Do not automatically return merchandise to the sender or manufacturer address printed on the shipping label.
Contact us at [EMAIL ADDRESS] to obtain return instructions and, where applicable, a return authorization.
Unauthorized returns may be delayed or rejected by the applicable supplier.
Non-Returnable Products
Unless required otherwise by applicable law, certain products may not be eligible for return, including:
-
Customized or personalized products
-
Made-to-order products
-
Clearance or final-sale products where clearly identified
-
Used, installed, or assembled products
-
Products damaged after delivery through misuse or improper installation
-
Products missing original components or packaging
-
Gift cards
-
Other products specifically marked non-returnable before purchase
Damaged or Defective Products
If an item arrives damaged, defective, incomplete, or materially different from what was ordered, contact us promptly.
Please provide:
-
Order number
-
Description of the problem
-
Photographs or video of the product
-
Photographs of damaged packaging, when applicable
-
Photographs of labels or model numbers when requested
We may coordinate with the supplier to arrange replacement parts, replacement merchandise, return authorization, or an appropriate refund depending on the circumstances.
Return Shipping
For standard returns based on customer preference, change of mind, incorrect size selection, or similar reasons, the customer may be responsible for return shipping costs unless otherwise stated or required by law.
If the return results from a verified defect, shipping error, or incorrect product, Bluewater Backyard will work with the applicable supplier regarding appropriate return arrangements.
Restocking Fees
Certain suppliers or oversized products may be subject to a reasonable restocking fee.
Where applicable, any restocking fee will be disclosed as required before the return is completed or as stated in product-specific return conditions.
Refunds
Once an authorized return is received and inspected, we will notify you regarding the refund status.
Approved refunds will generally be returned to the original payment method.
Original shipping charges, expedited shipping charges, return shipping costs, or other non-refundable charges may be excluded from the refund where permitted by law and where the return is not due to our or the supplier’s error.
Refund Processing Time
After a refund is issued, your bank, card issuer, or payment provider may require additional business days to post the credit to your account.
Exchanges
Because inventory is maintained by independent suppliers, direct exchanges may not always be possible.
Where an exchange cannot be processed, the original product may need to be returned and a new order placed.
Consumer Rights
Nothing in this policy limits any rights or remedies that cannot legally be waived under applicable consumer-protection law.
