This policy explains how As You Wood ships orders and how refunds, returns, and cancellations are handled. All products are made to order. By placing an order through asyouwood.com, you agree to the terms set out below.
Shipping Policy
Shipping destinations
We ship to addresses within the contiguous United States. We do not ship to Alaska, Hawaii, US territories, or international destinations through standard checkout. For shipment to those destinations, contact us at contact@asyouwood.com before placing an order.
Handling time
Orders are made to order. Handling time is 3 to 7 business days from the date of purchase and varies based on order complexity. Handling time does not include carrier transit time. If an order requires additional time, we will notify you.
Shipping rates
Shipping rates within the contiguous United States are as follows:
Orders over $100: free shipping
Orders under $100: $15 flat-rate shipping
Carriers
Orders are shipped via USPS, UPS, or FedEx. Carrier selection is at our discretion based on order size and destination.
Tracking
Once an order is handed off to the carrier, a tracking number is sent to the email address associated with the order. If you do not receive tracking information or have an issue with it, contact us at contact@asyouwood.com.
Risk of loss and damage in transit
Risk of loss and title pass to the buyer when the order is handed off to the carrier. We are not liable for delays, loss, or damage caused by the carrier. If an order arrives damaged, see “Damaged in transit or wrong item received” below.
Address accuracy
You are responsible for providing a complete and accurate shipping address. Address corrections may be requested within 48 hours of purchase. After that window, we cannot guarantee a free reshipment for delivery failures caused by an incorrect or incomplete address provided by the buyer.
Delays
Delivery timelines may be affected by weather, carrier disruptions, or material availability. We are not liable for delays outside our control. We will communicate any significant delay affecting an order.
Refund Policy
All sales are final
All products are made to order. All sales are final. We do not accept returns or issue refunds except in the specific circumstances described below.
48-hour change window
You may request changes to an order within 48 hours of purchase. Within this window, we can modify engraving text, wood type (subject to availability), and design or dimensions. To request a change, email contact@asyouwood.com with your order number and the requested change. After 48 hours, the order is final and changes cannot be accommodated.
Cancellations
Orders cannot be cancelled after the 48-hour change window has closed.
Circumstances not eligible for a refund or return
The following are not grounds for a refund or return:
Change of mind after the 48-hour change window
Natural variation in wood grain, color, or knot patterns, which are inherent characteristics of the material and not defects
Wood movement, patina, or other changes that occur over time
Engraving text that was submitted and approved by the buyer
Delivery delays caused by the carrier after handoff
Damage resulting from misuse, including dishwasher use, prolonged moisture exposure, or heat exposure
Damaged in transit or wrong item received
If an order arrives damaged or the wrong item is received, you must:
Contact us at contact@asyouwood.com within 7 days of delivery.
Provide your order number, photos of the item, and photos of the packaging (interior and exterior).
Retain the original packaging, which carriers require in order to process a damage claim.
After we receive and review this information, we will provide a resolution — repair, replacement, or refund — based on the circumstances.
Order accuracy
We review each order before production begins. You are responsible for proofreading engraving text and confirming the shipping address before purchase. After the 48-hour change window, we do not provide a free remake for text errors or address information submitted by the buyer.
