The published terms in one table
This guide reads TideWe's refund policy, shipping methods page and terms of service as published on 30 October 2026. [1][2][3] We have not returned a TideWe product ourselves. Policies change, so re-read the live pages on the day you order and again on the day you start a return.
| Term | What the policy says | What it means for a blind |
|---|---|---|
| Window | 30 days; the policy counts from purchase in one place and from delivery in another | Count from your purchase date to be safe, and test the blind in the first week |
| Condition | Unused, as received, in original packaging; proof of purchase required | Keep the box and bag; test indoors or on clean ground |
| Partial refunds | Possible for items not in original condition, damaged or missing parts for reasons not due to TideWe, or returned more than 30 days after delivery | Mud, brush or stake damage can cut what you get back |
| Return shipping | Paid by you; shipping costs non-refundable; return shipping deducted from any refund | A boxed blind is bulky; price the label before you decide |
| Over $75 | Trackable or insured shipping suggested; receipt not guaranteed | Buy tracking and keep the receipt |
| Sale items | Cannot be refunded; only regular-priced items | A flash-sale blind may not be refundable |
| Defective or damaged | Exchange only, via [email protected] | Report by email with photos and order number |
| Refund timing | After inspection, emailed decision, credit to original payment method; no day count given | Expect a wait after the return arrives |
Who pays to ship a blind back
The refund policy says you are responsible for return shipping, that shipping costs are non-refundable, and that any return shipping cost is deducted from your refund. For items over $75 it suggests a trackable shipping service or shipping insurance because TideWe does not guarantee it will receive the returned item. [1]
Worked example with hypothetical numbers: if a regular-priced blind cost $150 and shipped free (blind orders of $90 or more ship free under the shipping page), [2] and a tracked return costs $25, a change-of-mind return leaves you about $125 better off, whether you pay the carrier yourself or the cost is deducted from the refund, and before any partial-refund deduction for a blind that is not in its original condition. If the blind was on sale, the policy says it cannot be refunded at all. [1] Get a label quote from your carrier before deciding whether a return is worth it.
Order cancellations, the warranty banner and the 60-day banners
The refund policy we read does not describe how to cancel or change an order before it ships. If you need to cancel, email [email protected] immediately with your order number and ask for written confirmation. [1][3]
Pages on tidewe.com display banners for a "One Year Warranty", a "60-Day Money Back Guarantee" and a "60-Day Price Guarantee". [1][2] The refund policy text uses a 30-day window and does not set out warranty coverage, conditions or a claim process. The site footer also links a separate Return & Warranty Policies page, which is not summarised here; read it before you order. Read that page on the day you buy, and if any of these terms conflict, ask support in writing which applies to your order before relying on the longer figure.
Unbox and test-pop the blind inside the window
Because the policy requires an unused item in its original packaging and allows partial refunds for items not in their original condition, [1] your test should be gentle and clean: indoors, on a garage floor or on a tarp on dry grass, without stakes, brush or tape.
- Before opening: photograph the sealed box on all sides and the shipping label, especially any crushed corners or punctures.
- Open the box with a blunt edge so you do not cut the bag or fabric; keep every piece of packaging.
- Photograph the bag, the blind still folded, and every included item (stakes, tie-downs, any accessories) laid out together.
- Pop the blind up following the maker's instructions; work each hub out and back in, and note any hub that will not lock or release.
- Run every zipper on the door and windows end to end, and open and close each window and mesh panel.
- Look for tears, open seams and bent or snapped poles, holding the fabric up to light to find pinholes.
- Photograph any fault close up and at a distance, with the blind's label or tag in frame if there is one.
- Fold the blind back into its bag, repack it in the original box, and do not use it in the field until support replies.
Reporting a damaged or defective blind
The refund policy says exchanges are offered only for defective or damaged items and directs you to email [email protected]. [1] The pages we read did not set a deadline for reporting damage or list required photos, so report as soon as you find a fault and attach the evidence anyway.
- Subject line: order number plus "damaged on arrival" or "defective hub" so it is easy to find.
- Body: date delivered, what is wrong, when you found it, and that you have kept all packaging.
- Attach the box photos, the fault close-ups and a photo of the whole blind standing.
- Ask directly for an exchange, who pays any return freight for a defective item, and the address to use.
- Keep every reply and the tracking number of anything you send back; for returns over $75 the policy suggests tracking or insurance. [1]
Questions before you decide
How long do I have to return a TideWe blind?
The refund policy sets a 30-day window and requires the item to be unused, in the condition received and in its original packaging, with proof of purchase.
Are sale-priced TideWe blinds refundable?
The refund policy says sale items cannot be refunded and only regular-priced items can be. Damaged or defective items can be exchanged through [email protected].
Who pays return shipping to TideWe?
The refund policy says the customer pays return shipping, shipping costs are non-refundable, and return shipping is deducted from the refund. It suggests tracked or insured shipping for items over $75.
Does TideWe have a one-year warranty?
TideWe pages display a One Year Warranty banner, but the refund policy we read does not set out warranty terms. Read the Return & Warranty Policies page and ask [email protected] in writing before relying on it.
