RETURNS & REPLACEMENT POLICY

We Stand Behind Our Products

At CompositeDeckDirect, your satisfaction is our priority. If you’re not completely happy with your purchase, we’re here to make it right with easy returns or replacements for unused products. Read on for full details and let us help you find the perfect solution.

Satisfaction Guaranteed

Not thrilled with your order or accidentally ordered too much? You can return non-sale items in resellable condition within 30 days of receipt for a refund. Please don’t install defective materials, as they won’t be eligible for return or replacement. For deck boards, a manufacturer-imposed restocking fee of 25% (capped at $200) applies—e.g., a $10 item incurs a $2.50 fee—and return shipping costs are your responsibility. Hardware returns have no restocking fee (except in Eastern Ontario and Quebec) if unopened and returned within 30 days.

We’re committed to your happiness and will go the extra mile to ensure it. If something’s off—whether it’s the product, shipping, customer service, or you simply don’t love what you got—call us at 1-800-688-1796 or email support@compositedeckdirect.com. We also offer free samples to help you confirm colors and products before buying. Rest assured, any damaged items delivered will be replaced at no cost to you. While we’re TruNorth’s largest dealer, we don’t manufacture the products—quality issues or delays fall under the supplier’s responsibility—but we’ll work closely with you to resolve any concerns.

Why Fees Exist

Our goal is to deliver top-quality products at competitive prices with exceptional service. However, oversized items like deck boards come with hefty handling costs due to their size and weight. When orders are canceled or changed, manufacturers unpack and restock, incurring administrative expenses. Plus, credit card processing fees (2.4%-3.5% per transaction) hit us twice—once when you buy, and again if we refund—adding up to 5%-7% in extra costs. For order changes made more than 72 hours after placement, a 25% fee applies to added or removed items (e.g., a $10 item becomes $12.50 with a $2.50 fee), passed through from the manufacturer.

No-Hassle Returns

If your purchase doesn’t meet your expectations, we’ve streamlined the return process. Refunds are available within 30 days of receipt. Need a replacement? Place a new order to speed things up, then return the unwanted items for a refund. Unfortunately, we can’t accept returns after 30 days or replace missing items reported more than 24 hours after delivery. Privacy screens are returnable only if damaged upon arrival.

How to Return Your Items

Don’t ship anything back without contacting us first—we can’t process unapproved returns. Start by emailing help@compositedeckdirect.com with your order number and a list of items you’d like to return, or call 1-800-688-1796. If eligible, we’ll email you return instructions. For factory returns, you’ll receive a return slip—keep it, as it’s your proof of return and required for a refund.

Non-Returnable Items

Products received over 30 days ago

Items not in original, resellable condition (e.g., damaged, used, opened, or missing parts)

Discounted, sale, clearance, or closeout items

Tools

Products from kits or package deals (unless the full kit is returned)

Railings

Cancellation Fees

Canceling an order more than 48 hours after placement incurs a $250 fee from the manufacturer, who invests time and resources to prepare your order. This helps them offset those costs.
