It is not unusual to have 2% - 3% of the tile broken to some degree (e.g. chipped edges, scratches). Scratched or damaged tile can still be installed when cut. Most damage only every occurs on tiles and most tile is installed in a brick format, quite simply the when cut the damaged part of the tile can be discarded. Any amount up to 10% is still considered acceptable. These damaged tiles can be used for the cuts you will need to make. If breakage is above 10%, we would ask you to have it noted on the logistics receiving document and take pictures. Please make a claim with us within 10 days of receiving the order.

Flat rate terminal shipping only applies to orders greater than 150SF. The flat rate is subsidized by the product ordered. But when little product is ordered there is no profit to subsidize with. We cannot ship orders at a loss.
