INFORMATION ABOUT RETURNS
CMT has a commitment to customer satisfaction. Occasionally, it may be necessary for you to return products to us. Our policy covers most return situations and it is designed to be fair to all customers while providing internal cost controls so we can maintain our value pricing.
If we make a mistake with your order, we sincerely apologize and we will ship the correct product immediately upon your notice to us. We will provide credit for the incorrect item(s) upon receipt of the returned material.
If you make a mistake and order the wrong product or decide you want a different product or you simply want to return an item with no replacement, the policy is as follows:

 Invoice will be credited for material only; original shipping charges still apply.
 Customer is responsible for return shipping fees.
 Custom-cut or custom-cast pieces are not returnable.
