Returns, Refunds & Exchanges

TigerChef is committed to making your online shopping experience a safe and pleasurable one. We gladly accept returns on all unused items that are still in their original packaging, with the exception of custom items and equipment with optional accessories. We will accept returns and exchanges within 30 days of the date of delivery. Please notify us as soon as possible if you wish to return or exchange an item. We will provide you with a Return Authorization (RA) number. Please note that we WILL NOT accept returns or exchanges without a return authorization number. We ask that you please mark this number clearly on the box that you are returning. Also, please include a copy of the invoice that you received with your purchase along with the item you are returning or exchanging.

Once your return has been approved, you will be credited your original form of payment. Credits are issued 2-3 business days after returns are approved.

The return shipping costs will be the customer's responsibility. If free shipping was offered, a standard charge of $7.95 will be applied.

Returns will incur a 15% restocking fee in order to cover the cost of processing the return. When an item is returned, our warehouse team inspects, relabels, repackages and restocks the item.

We pride ourselves in offering the most competitive prices backed up by our price match guarantee. In order to maintain these low prices for all products, we only charge a restocking fee for items returned to us.

Damaged Items

Tiger Chef does all it can to assure your item is shipped safely and securely. In the rare circumstance that your item is received damaged or defective, or it is simply not what you ordered, please notify us within 48 hours. We will then provide you with a Return Authorization (RA) number and a prepaid packing slip.

For LTL furniture shipments, all deliveries are subject to inspection. Please notate any damage or missing items at the time of delivery and then report it to us. If you are not able to fully inspect your delivery, please notate this on your delivery receipt as well. If you sign for free and clear and later find damage or missing items, you will be responsible for filing claims with the carrier.

Due to the fragility of glass and china, we cannot guarantee their condition upon arrival to you. Therefore, we ask that any orders of glass or china be inspected upon arrival. If your order is defective in any way please refuse the delivery or notify us within 48 hours.

A Note To Residential Customers

TigerChef is designed specifically for those in the commercial foodservice industry, and while we don’t restrict our website to commercial customers only, residential customers need to bear the following in mind:

Commercial items are designed for heavy kitchen use. They may not meet your expectations in terms of aesthetics. Some items may have small imperfections such as scratches or scrapes, which occur during the manufacturing process and are normal for commercial products.

Most equipment is not designed to fit home kitchens and will most likely void the manufacturer's warranty and your homeowner's insurance policy.

Standard Shipping

Most orders are shipped within 1-4 business days with the exception of custom or oversized items. TigerChef ships with UPS, FedEx, and the United States Postal Service, as well as other major shipping companies. In keeping with our commitment of great service to our customers, we will choose the method of delivery based on what we determine is the least expensive and most effective. In the event that there is an unexpected delay in the shipping or processing of an order, we will notify the customer via e-mail.

Packages that are shipped ground are generally delivered within 5-10 business days from the time the order was placed.

Expedited Shipping

Many of our items can be offered to our customers as fast as Next Day, 2 Day or 3 Day shipping. Please contact us to see if this option is available, as there are some items, due to size and/or destination, which cannot be expedited. Please take into account that it takes some time to process an order. Expedited shipping only applies to the actual shipping itself. Expedited orders placed after 1:00 pm ET are not guaranteed to ship out the same day and may ship the following day. Please call our customer service department if your order is being placed after 1:00 pm ET and needs to ship the same day. Expedited shipping is calculated by business days. Saturday and Sunday are not calculated in transit times or as a delivery days. Any promotional shipping offers apply to standard shipping only. 

Tracking

Once an order has been processed, the customer shall receive an e-mail from Tiger Chef containing all shipping and tracking information. You can also log in to our website with your email and password and track your package in the My Account section. If you forgot your password, simply click on Forgot Password and a temporary password will be emailed to you.

Sales Tax

Tiger Chef is based out of New York. We are therefore required to charge sales tax on any orders that are shipped within the state.

International Shipping

Duties, taxes and customs are calculated by Zonos, a third-party company specializing in international shipping. All taxes paid are sent to the correct tax agency by UPS. TigerChef does not have the ability to provide breakdowns of taxes or offer refunds of taxes, as we don’t control the calculations or the disbursements of the money . If you have any questions or concerns about taxes, please reach out to us ASAP, before your order is shipped, as we are unable to make any adjustments after an order is shipped. We are unable to offer any coupon codes for international orders.
