Sales Policies
(Prices are subject to change without notice.)
Pricing Estimates
Pricing estimates are only for the items listed on the estimate and do not imply any accuracy for materials usage. We are not responsible for any overage or shortage in figuring the materials. The customer should verify all specifications before ordering. Errors in pricing extensions will be corrected. Prices are good for 30 days unless stated to the contrary.
Special Orders
Non-stock special orders require a minimum of 50% down payment and the unpaid balance is due upon receipt of material. Because of limited storage space, Metal Depot will store special orders for a maximum of 30 days. Any special orders not picked up in 30 days will be sold and deposit forfeited and/or a restocking charge will be imposed.
Return Merchandise
Any returned stock merchandise must be in clean, original condition, available for resale, and accompanied by an original sales receipt. Store Managers will determine if the merchandise is in returnable condition and if a restocking charge will be imposed. Absolutely neither special orders nor special order trim can be returned for credit. A special order is any merchandise that is not a regular stock item in inventory at any Metal Depot store. Merchandise cannot be returned after 90 days.

All panels with a warranty come with a 20, 25 or 30 year limited warranty. Proper storage, handling and installation procedures must be followed. Failure to do so may void any warranty. No-warranty panels are sold as is without any implication of a warranty.
