SHIPPING & RETURNS

Thank you for shopping at Forest Decor™. Our goal is your 100% happiness with our hand-crafted products, so we want you to love what you bought.

We appreciate your business. If you are not entirely satisfied with your purchase, we’re here to help.

Shipping

All orders (including custom engraving orders) are typically processed within 24 hours. If your order is placed over the weekend or US holiday, the order will be processed the first following business day. All orders over $49 ship FREE with a 3-day shipping.

Once your order has been placed, you will receive an order confirmation.

Once your order ships, we will send you a confirmation with the tracking number.

International Orders

International shipping prices vary by territory. See the shipping costs and speeds at checkout.

Standard international shipping for Canada and Europe typically takes 4-15 business days, the rest of the world 8-15 business days.

Please note the BUYER is responsible for all duties and taxes accessed by your country. Potential duties and taxes are not included in your shipping price.

Proof Orders

If you requested a design proof for your custom order, we will follow-up with an email before your item is completed and shipped. Please note that if we don’t receive a response regarding the proof, we may process and send your order after 72 hours without an approval. In general, orders including a proof request can delay the order 1-3 business days.

Rush Processing

Orders requesting rush processing before 12pm EST are processed and dispatched on the same day. However, if you requested a design proof along with the rush processing, the order may or may not be able to ship the same day due to the additional work and waiting time involved. Additionally, if your order involves complex recipe cleanup, custom design artwork (such as a logo cutting board without having necessary engraving file) or quantity of items over 20, it will generally be dispatched the following day. Rush processing in these cases prioritizes immediate attention, ensuring faster completion compared to orders without this priority.

Modifying an Order After Placement

Should adjustments be necessary after placing your order—be it changing personalized details, updating the address, or seeking cancellation—kindly reach out to us as soon as possible. While we will do our best to accommodate your requests, once an order enters production, it won’t be possible to make any modifications or cancellations. Please contact us at your earliest convenience.

Returns

Once you receive your order, please check all items for any defects, errors, or missing pieces and report any issues.

Non-Personalized Orders:

You have 30 calendar days to return an item from the date you received it.

To be eligible for a return, your item must be unused and in the same condition that you received it.

We accept returns less the original shipping costs. If your item shipped via “FREE Shipping”, we charge a 20% restocking fee.

Personalized Orders:

Every item is customized specifically for you, therefore returns are only accepted in the event of an error on our end. Should you receive an incorrectly personalized product, a rare occurrence, we’re eager to assist you promptly in resolving the issue. Please reach out to us for assistance.

Refunds

Once we receive your returned item(s), we will inspect your return and notify you that we have received it. We will immediately notify you of the status of your refund after your return is processed.

If your return is approved, a refund will be credited to your credit card or original payment method for the original purchase price. If you receive a refund, the cost of return shipping will be deducted from your refund.

You will receive your credit within a certain amount of days, depending on your card issuer’s policies.

Delayed Orders

We acknowledge the frustration that delays can cause and assure you that we strive to dispatch our items promptly while maintaining quality standards. Nevertheless, certain delays may occur beyond our control, such as significant transit delays, among others. Should an item be delayed for more than 3 business days, please reach out to us, and we’ll endeavor to find the best resolution for your situation.

It’s important to note that if you’ve ordered a personalized item experiencing a delay, resulting in a later delivery than initially expected or depicted on our website, refunds cannot be provided. However, we are committed to working with you to address the issue. For instance, if an item appears lost or severely delayed in transit, we can explore alternatives like a replacement sent via expedited shipping to resolve the situation.

*For orders requiring delivery by a specific day, we strongly advise placing the order promptly or opting for expedited shipping at checkout to accommodate any unforeseen delays.

Customized Items and Variability of Wooden Products

Each item is tailored specifically for you, hence returns are not accepted except in cases of our error. Please be aware that the natural grain pattern of wood differs from piece to piece, resulting in unique items; no two are identical. Natural variations in size and shape occur within the same product category. Expect slight differences between what you receive and the images on the listing, as wood items are inherently distinct. If you wish to preview options, kindly include a note at checkout, and after placing your order, we can provide several images for you to select from.

Olive Wood Products

Artisans also hand-carve every item, so each work of art will naturally differ in cut, shape, grain, and size (+/- 1-2” or more on any given side).

Our handcrafted cutting and serving boards (especially, the live edge boards), crafted from a single piece of solid wood, might display natural fissures, cracks, and slight warping or curvature. These distinctive features contribute to their rustic charm and individuality. Such characteristics do not indicate a flaw in the product. The variation in width, up to 4 inches, stems from the unique attributes and size differences inherent in each tree. 

Additionally, due to the wooden nature some areas might be darker or lighter which may affect the appearance of engraving.

Wholesale & Bulk Orders

Wholesale and bulk orders follow a distinct return and refund policy compared to regular orders. All substantial orders, whether wholesale or bulk and exceeding $1000, are deemed non-returnable and non-refundable unless the item/s arrive damaged. In an instance of receiving a damaged or defective item/s, please notify us within 10 days of receiving the shipment to facilitate a replacement.

As previously mentioned, variations in shape, style, and wood grain are to be expected with wooden items and are not considered damages or defects. Each wooden piece possesses its own unique qualities, resulting in differences between the received product and its depiction in images. Particularly with our distinctive olive wood cutting boards, live edge boards, and steak boards, variations such as diverse shapes, small cracks or knots, and differences in grain are natural occurrences.

Many of our customers value the uniqueness of our products, appreciating that they are not mass-produced. We want to ensure you comprehend this aspect. If this is your initial experience ordering bulk quantities from us, we highly recommend purchasing multiple sample products (not just one) to gain a comprehensive understanding of our offerings before placing a larger order.
