Returns & Cancellations

Sudfire Hearths are substantial, limited-production live-fire products. Because of their size, weight, freight requirements, and delivery preparation, returns and cancellations are limited.

Please review your selected model, finish, accessory setup, estimated delivery window, and delivery options before placing your order.

Order Cancellations

Within 48 Hours of Purchase

Orders may be canceled for a full refund within 48 hours of purchase, provided the order has not already shipped or entered local delivery.

To request cancellation, email info@sudfire.com with your name and order number.

After 48 Hours but Before Fulfillment

After the initial 48-hour period, you may still request cancellation before your Hearth has shipped or entered local delivery.

Approved refunds may be reduced by actual, nonrecoverable costs already incurred specifically for your order, including applicable payment-processing fees, special-order components, or freight already booked.

Sudfire will explain any deduction before the cancellation is finalized.

After Shipment or Delivery Begins

Once an order has been transferred to a freight carrier or entered local delivery, it can no longer be canceled. The return and delivery-damage terms below will apply.

Custom, modified, or specially ordered products may have different cancellation terms disclosed before purchase.

Estimated Delivery and Delays

Delivery dates and windows shown on the website are estimates.

If Sudfire learns that an order cannot ship within the estimated period provided at purchase, we will contact the customer with an updated estimate and the options required by applicable law.

Customers will not be required to accept an indefinite delay.

Returns After Delivery

Sudfire does not accept standard buyer’s-remorse returns after delivery.

Returns or other remedies may be considered only for:

  • Delivery damage reported according to the Shipping & Delivery Policy

  • An incorrect model, finish, or product received

  • Missing components reported within 48 hours of delivery

  • Eligible manufacturing defects covered by the Sudfire Limited Warranty

If an incorrect, damaged, or incomplete product is received, do not light, season, modify, or continue assembling it until Sudfire has reviewed the issue.

Delivery Inspection

Inspect your Hearth and packaging promptly when it arrives.

Visible freight damage should be photographed and noted with the carrier before the delivery is accepted whenever possible.

Delivery damage, missing components, or order discrepancies must be reported to Sudfire within 48 hours. Keep all packaging materials while the claim is being reviewed.

Non-Returnable Items

The following are not eligible for standard return:

  • Hearths that have been burned, seasoned, used, or modified

  • Products damaged by misuse, improper fuel, accelerants, unsafe placement, neglect, improper maintenance, or failure to follow the Owner’s Manual

  • Custom or special-order products

  • Products used for commercial, rental, hospitality, demonstration, or event purposes without prior written approval

  • Opened or used wood products

  • Used gloves, tools, covers, or cooking accessories

  • Products returned without prior authorization

  • Claims that do not qualify under the applicable Limited Warranty

Normal Corten patina, carbon-steel seasoning, heat discoloration, cosmetic wear, surface oxidation caused by improper care, and other expected changes from live-fire use are not manufacturing defects.

Return Authorization Required

All returns require prior written authorization from Sudfire.

To request review, email info@sudfire.com and include:

  • Customer name

  • Order number

  • Product model and finish

  • Description of the issue

  • Clear photographs or video

  • Photographs of the packaging when freight damage is involved

Do not arrange return freight or send a product back without written instructions from Sudfire. Unauthorized returns will not be accepted.

Approved Remedies and Refunds

Depending on the circumstances and applicable warranty terms, Sudfire may provide replacement components, repair instructions, repair, replacement, refund, or another appropriate remedy.

Approved refunds will be issued to the original payment method. Processing time after issuance depends on the customer’s bank or payment provider.

Shipping, delivery, removal, installation, or return-freight costs are nonrefundable unless Sudfire confirms otherwise in writing or the claim results from an eligible Sudfire error, covered defect, or properly reported delivery damage.
