Shipment Window:

Shipping window varies from product to product. Please review the product page for the expected shipping time of your multi-sided electric heater. We update these daily so you know what to expect.

In general, items that are custom made, made-to-order, or special order will take longer to ship.

All orders are processed Monday through Friday. We strive to ship your items as fast as possible, including the True North TN24 gas stove, so your order may ship sooner than estimated.

Tracking will be sent to the provided email address. If you do not receive tracking information from us within six business days of your order, feel free to follow up with us at support@thetorchguys.com

Curbside Freight Shipments

Items that are too large or delicate to ship by standard ground carrier are required to ship freight, especially those from the Ovation Gasfire collection. Freight carriers are specially trained to handle oversized and fragile items.

Here is what to expect from the freight shipping process:

• Once your order ships you will receive a tracking number that has an estimated delivery date to your local freight terminal
• The carrier will call you at your provided phone number to schedule a delivery appointment within the next 1-2 business days. Only weekday appointments are available. If you are unable to receive the shipment within 1-2 business days of its arrival at the freight terminal, please contact us. 
• All shipments are delivered “curbside”. The driver will bring them to the curb and is not authorized to move it further. Anything past curbside must be arranged before placing the order (see “shipping options” above).
• Upon delivery, it is important that you inspect the shipment thoroughly before signing. Any damage or missing items should be noted on the delivery receipt. You have 5 business days from the delivery date to submit a claim for damage or missing items. To submit a claim email: support@thetorchguys.com or call us (202) 539-6797.

Warranty

In the unlikely event your product experiences a defect, our technical team will guide you through the manufacturer’s warranty process. Here is a general outline of what to expect.

Due to the technical nature of our products, the manufacturer must perform troubleshooting to process a warranty claim. Your installer will need to troubleshoot and smart self-diagnostics the problem on-site while working in tandem with our technical team. If troubleshooting leads to what The Torch Guys deems as a defective part, we will submit a warranty claim to the manufacturer on your behalf. Before we submit the claim, we will ask you to review the terms and confirm your consent to proceed.

Once the claim is submitted, the manufacturer will review it and either approve or deny it. If they have all the information and accept the claim, your warranty replacement part(s) will begin processing for shipment. If, for any reason, the claim is denied or we need more information, we will notify you as soon as possible.

All warranties are processed as exchanges. You can expect to receive a prepaid return label for the defective part(s), which must be returned within 30 days of receiving the warranty replacement(s).

Warranty claims can take anywhere from 1-4 weeks to process, depending on the season. Given the length of time claims can take, we recommend you fire up your unit in late summer/early fall to ensure your existing fireplace is in good working order for the winter season.

Don’t expect less from your dealer just because you are shopping online...

Over the years, we've received countless calls in our fireplace showroom from underserved or dissatisfied online shoppers.

Unfortunately, there are way too many online fireplace stores that are more concerned with getting a quick sale than actually serving their customers.

We've heard it all, including:

• Inaccurate product information on the website
• Poor service after purchase
• No assistance with warranty claims
• Delayed or lost shipment without communication
• I didn't know I needed additional parts to operate

We started The Torch Guys to offer a better way to shop for fireplaces & fire-related products online. Where education, transparency and service are at the heart of everything we do.

The products we sell are highly technical. And every situation is unique, including yours.

We take pride in helping our customers find the right product(s) for their specific needs and desires.

FAST Free Shipping

Most stores offer free shipping. But it's often free shipping that's slow.

That's because most stores only have access to one or two distribution centers. And YOUR order is at the mercy of that distribution center.

If they are running behind or low on inventory - you are out of luck. If they are located on the other side of the country from you - it's going to take a while to get to you.

When you order from The Torch Guys - you gain access to our network of over 20 distribution centers strategically located across the country. Meaning YOUR order will ship from the location that guarantees the fastest delivery.
