Quality Assurance Guarantee
Every product backed by manufacturer warranty + our damage protection promise.
At Backyard At Ease, you deserve products that arrive in perfect condition and perform exactly as promised. Every item we sell comes with full manufacturer warranty coverage, and if anything arrives damaged, we'll make it right—fast.
Manufacturer Warranty Protection
As an authorized retailer, all products include the manufacturer's warranty covering defects in materials and workmanship. Warranty terms vary by brand and product—contact us at support@backyardatease.com with your order number for specific warranty details on your item.
If Your Order Arrives Damaged
Inspect your delivery immediately upon arrival. Here's how to protect yourself and speed up resolution:
Step 1: Document at delivery
-
Check outer packaging for visible damage (crushed boxes, tears, punctures)
-
If damage is obvious, note "damaged packaging" on the delivery confirmation before signing
-
If you cannot fully inspect contents at delivery but suspect issues, write "potential concealed damage" on the delivery receipt
-
Take photos of damaged packaging and delivery confirmation
Step 2: Report damage within 48 hours
Email support@backyardatease.com with:
-
Your order number

Clear photos showing the damage (packaging + product)

Brief description of the issue
Step 3: We resolve it fast
We'll review your claim within 1 business day and provide you with:

Full refund to your original payment method (processed within 5-7 business days)
You choose which option works best for you.
