Return and Refund Policy
At Luxe Heat Emporium we pride ourselves on having the best return policies in the industry. As the majority of our products are handmade to-order in the USA, 48 is the magic number. Cancel your order any time within 48 hours to receive a full refund. After 48 hours, the manufacturer will begin hand-crafting your order and a full refund of your order will not be possible. We also recommend that your product is installed by a licensed professional. Some manufacturers will void warranties and deny claims if the product was not installed by a licensed professional.
If you have questions, please send an email to support@luxeheatemporium.com or call us at (775) 256-0934.
Cancellations (Before Order Ships)
If you need to cancel an order after 48 hours, please contact us as soon as possible.

Cancellations of Custom Orders
Custom or made-to-order products cannot be canceled or refunded as these products are put into production specifically for your order. Custom order brands include: The Outdoor Plus, American Fyre Designs, Fire Magic, and Athena Glass. More brands will be added as available.
These units are custom-made to your specification or created once you order. Once you place your order they start building your unit. Your warranty will guarantee you a fully functional and operational product. If it is not clear whether your order is custom or made to order, please message or call us.
All sales are final for Custom made and Made-to-order products. Exceptions include if you cancel your order within 48 hours. Should you do so, you are eligible for a full refund.

Refunds and Returns
If you need to return the product, you may do so either as a Freight Claim or Warranty Claim. Details about each are below. You must immediately contact agents at the Luxe Heat Emporium to initiate either process. You, as the customer, are responsible for any shipping costs throughout any returns and exchange processes, unless otherwise noted.
Due to drastically increasing LTL/freight shipping costs, any outright returns will incur a 25% cancellation fee + return shipping costs.
Freight Claim: A freight claim is initiated when a product arrives damaged, is the incorrect product, or there is concealed damage upon opening the package. There are important steps to take to help Luxe Heat Emporium ensure you receive the hand-crafted product you ordered.
- Inspecting your package thoroughly, taking thorough notes and pictures, as well as signing the Bill of Lading (BOL/shipment document) with "upon final inspection" is crucial.
- Carriers and manufacturers will always try to protect themselves and can deny liability which is why you should never clean sign a BOL, even if the delivery appears undamaged. You also must provide all possible evidence (including pictures) needed to justify any claims. Doing so within 48 hours of receipt is imperative because after that time window closes, and Luxe Heat Emporium is no longer responsible for any damaged, missing, or wrong items. If you do miss the 48-hour mark, we still encourage you to reach out to us and we will try
our best to resolve the issue. - The driver delivering your product will allow you to inspect the freight. Some carriers/drivers are more willing to allow this than others as they may not have time to wait for you to break down pallets and open all the products. You will
always have the ability to inspect the outer packaging and notate “upon final inspection” on the BOL accordingly before the driver leaves. - Here's what to do in each situation:
-
- Receiving a shipment with visible damage: If visible damage to the products is evident, it is highly recommended that you refuse the shipment. This will automatically start the freight claim process and the damaged product will be sent back. We highly recommend taking photos of the product to document the damage seen at the time of delivery and ask that you notify our customer service team as soon as possible so we can get the product re-shipped.
- Contacting the Luxe Heat Emporium within 24 hours will allow our team to complete the freight claim form in its entirety with the required 48 hours of receipt. Our customers are responsible for inspecting all products at the time of delivery and are expected to submit any freight claims that are needed within 48 hours.
- If damage is seen on the outer packaging of the product but you think the product is still in good shape, you can receive the shipment. If you choose to receive the shipment, you must thoroughly inspect the outer packaging, clearly notate any damage on the BOL, and sign it with “upon final inspection”. Even if no evident signs of damage to the outer packaging are present, all BOLs should be marked with this verbiage and not signed clean. Signing clean can allow carriers to deny liability if any damage is found even within the 48-hour time frame.
-
Receiving a shipment with concealed damage: We strongly encourage you to inspect and open all products within 48 hours as carriers tend to have strict policies with regard to damaged freight. It is crucial to notify us immediately to ensure the Luxe Heat Emporium support team may submit any needed concealed damage freight claims and pictures showing the undamaged packaging and the product within 48 hours so we can hold the carrier accountable.
- If you suspect you are missing or receiving the wrong product: Notate the missing or wrong items on the BOL and notify the Luxe Heat Emporium customer service team immediately. You will have 24 hours to report any missing or wrong product. If notified within the 24-hour window, Luxe Heat Emporium can arrange withing 48 hours to ship out the missing items and/or arrange for the wrong product to be shipped back to their facility. Rest assured, as long as we’re notified within 24 hours and we may contact the manufacturer within 48 hours, we will create a replacement shipment or issue a credit.
Warranty Claim: A warranty claim is initiated when a product is not functioning as it was designed. It is crucial to first know which products and parts are under warranty by which manufacturer before proceeding. Important steps to follow are outlined below.
- Verify which manufacturer handmade your product.
- Check their product warranties either in warranty booklets you received with your product or what is listed on the manufacturer's website.
- Reach out to the manufacturer's tech support to troubleshoot the issue and gather any applicable part numbers, case numbers, etc.
- Contact Luxe Heat Emporium agents with this information and we will initiate your claim for you.
- Initiating this claim yourself may inhibit Luxe Heat Emporium's support team from assisting you through this process.
- Lead times on receiving replacement parts can vary. his is especially true if items are on backorder. The manufacturer will share with our team the expected shipping date. Warranty items will be sent out at their earliest availability.
Delivery Checklist

- Check for damage on the product. If there is suspected damage, please refuse the shipment. If the damage to the outer packaging seems minimal, you can receive the shipment but the damage must be clearly noted on the BOL. It is also best to practice taking pictures of the product at the time of receipt.
- If the driver does not allow you to inspect the freight or is not giving you the opportunity to refuse the shipment, do not sign the BOL and contact our customer service team immediately.
If damage is visible at the time of delivery, you must:
- Refuse the shipment and notify the Luxe Heat Emporium customer service team immediately.

Inspections can typically be handled by our team as long as we have the evidence/pictures of the freight at the time of delivery.

- Sign the BOL, and note “upon final inspection”.
- Open and inspect all product within 24 hours.
