At Viet Cedar & Stone, we are committed to your complete satisfaction. We understand that sometimes a product may not be the right fit for your appliance, or you may simply change your mind. That is why we have designed a straightforward, fair, and transparent Return and Refund Policy to give you peace of mind with every purchase. Our policy outlines the conditions under which you can return products, the process for requesting a refund, and the timelines you can expect.
A Return and Refund Policy is a policy that dictates under what conditions customers can return products they’ve purchased from your ecommerce store and whether you’ll reimburse them or not. It should include important details about when you accept returns, what the conditions of return are, and how you issue refunds. We believe in clear communication and want you to feel confident when shopping with us. Please take a moment to review our policy below.
Our Commitment to Your Satisfaction
Your satisfaction is our top priority. We stand behind the quality of every product we sell and want you to be delighted with your purchase. If for any reason you are not completely satisfied, we are here to make it right. Whether you need a refund, an exchange, or simply have questions about your product, our friendly customer support team is ready to assist you.

Step 3: Package Your Return Securely
To ensure your item arrives safely, please package it securely in its original packaging (if possible) or in a sturdy box with adequate protective materials. Include all original accessories, manuals, and documentation. Write your RMA number clearly on the outside of the package.
Step 4: Ship Your Return
Ship your return package to the address provided in your return instructions. We recommend using a trackable shipping method and purchasing shipping insurance, as we cannot be responsible for items lost or damaged during return transit.
Step 5: Return Processing
Once we receive your return package, our team will inspect the item to verify its condition. This inspection process typically takes 2–3 business days from the date of receipt. After the inspection is complete, we will notify you of the outcome and process your refund or exchange accordingly.
Return Shipping Costs
The cost of return shipping depends on the reason for the return and the condition of the item. Please review the following guidelines:
Returns Due to Our Error
If the return is a result of our error—such as receiving an incorrect item, a defective product, or a damaged shipment—we will cover the cost of return shipping. We will provide you with a prepaid return shipping label or reimburse you for reasonable return shipping costs upon presentation of a receipt. We’ll also pay the return shipping costs if the return is a result of our error.
Returns Due to Customer Preference or Mistake
If you are returning an item because you changed your mind, ordered the wrong part, or no longer need the product, you are responsible for the return shipping costs. The original shipping charges are non-refundable in these cases.
Restocking Fee
A restocking fee may apply to certain returns. The restocking fee is typically 20% of the product price and is deducted from your refund amount. The restocking fee helps cover the costs of inspecting, repackaging, and restocking returned items.
Restocking fees may be waived or reduced in the following cases:
-
The return is a result of our error.
-
The item is being exchanged for a different product of equal or greater value.
-
The item is returned in perfect, unopened, original condition.
