Customer Service and Privacy Policy

Payment

All payments are made with Shopify Payments, where you can choose to pay with a credit card. We accept Visa, Mastercard and Amex.

Shipping 

Our shipping costs are fixed, based on country of delivery. Shipping is calculated at checkout. For the samples and our accessories, shipping is free. 

We offer fast and safe delivery within 3–5 days to the whole of Sweden for goods in stock (delivery to sparsely populated areas may take longer during certain periods). Buyers outside of Sweden should naturally expect slightly longer waiting times.

The goods are delivered to the specified address or as close to the address as the carrier can get. The carrier does not carry the goods.

We reserve the right to charge costs associated with the order not being acknowledged on the decided delivery date, as well as in the case of unclaimed packages and return shipping.

Complaint Policy

Check the goods immediately, no later than within 7 days after delivery. It is the customer's responsibility to check the quantity of the material, color differences and any visible or hidden damage.

If damage to the products or packaging is discovered, this must be noted on the shipping company's waybill before endorsement. Document the damage with photos, both with and without packaging. 

Please note that colour variations, chipped edges, glass-like inclusions, small chips, or minor holes are not considered valid grounds for a complaint, as these are common characteristics of natural materials. Unevenness will be filled with grout. These characteristics give the stone its unique character and enhance the authentic feel of a genuine natural material.

If your product is defective or incorrect, please notify us at support@ostersjosten.se.

Explain the following information in your email:
1. When you received and unpacked the delivery.
2. At what time did you note what is defective or incorrect.
3. Describe the reason for your complaint in as much detail as possible so we are able to provide you with the most accurate assistance.

4. Attach pictures of what is defective or incorrect. Please note that chipped edges or minor cavities are not valid complaint matters as it is common on natural stone.

5. Once we have received your complaint, we will review it and get back to you as to whether we will proceed with the process. In the event of an approved complaint, Östersjösten is responsible for the costs of any return shipping or replacement product.

As a customer you have a three-year right of complaint. The complaint must be made without undue delay from the time the fault has been discovered. Complaints must be made before installation of the product, complaints after installation are not accepted.

Return Policy

If you wish to cancel your purchase, you as the customer are responsible for the cost of return shipping. You are also responsible for the original shipping cost for delivery to you, which will not be refunded in the event of a return. The cost of return shipping depends on the product’s weight, size, and your postcode. Please note that only complete orders can be returned.

Please contact us at support@ostersjosten.se if you wish to make a return, and we will assist you further.

You always have the right to inspect your order before deciding whether to return it to us. The order must be inspected with care and returned in its original, unchanged condition and in the original packaging. If the pallet or other packaging has been discarded, new packaging must be provided at your own expense. We reserve the right to charge you for any costs incurred if the product is incomplete or has been damaged, or alternatively to refuse the return.

In the event of a return, you as the customer are responsible for any damage that may occur during transportation.

Once we have received and approved the return, the refund will be processed within 14 days. The refunded amount will correspond to the order value, less the original shipping cost for delivery to you and the cost of return shipping. The right of return does not apply to stone or tile samples.

Custom-made products or products in formats that are not kept in stock are also non-returnable.
