Hi Sylvia,
Thanks so much for sharing this review with us, and I am so sorry that your experience was unsatisfactory.
I would like to clarify some details with this order, just so there isn’t any confusion. The purchase was made on 5/4/26, and the order consisted of our Hampton Dining Table, which is a QuickShip item. To elaborate, “QuickShip” refers specifically to the lead time for shipping (as mentioned in the name), and we also have additional disclaimers on the items themselves to clarify this even further. QuickShip items ship from our warehouse in approx. 3-5 business days from the date of purchase. Your order shipped on 5/8/26, 4 days after purchase, so right within our QuickShip lead time. Again, this lead time refers only the shipping timeframe for the goods to be released from our warehouse, not the timeframe to receive the order once it does ship.
You mention that 2 weeks passed without any delivery updates, but I can see that both our Customer Service team and American West passed along tracking and lead time info to you via email shortly after the order shipped.
By the time you had requested to cancel the order, it was already mid-transit, and while we were happy to honor your request for a cancellation, it was not possible to return the order without incurring return fees from the carrier. This is a standard practice, since all shipping/returns fees are quoted directly by the carrier: Teak Warehouse has no control over these fees. Still, as a courtesy to you though, we did not end up deducting any return fees, and simply covered them ourselves as a good gesture and to alleviate any further dissatisfaction.
Additionally, to further clarify our cancelation policy, we allow a 24-48 hour window for cancellation after the order is placed. If cancellation is requested within 24-48 hours, a full refund is processed back to the original payment method. In this case though, the order was already in transit by the time a cancellation was requested, and the 24-48 window was well passed.
Again, are deeply sorry that you feel this was not a positive shopping experience with us, and both our team and the American West team did everything we could to assist with getting any miscommunication clarified and sorted out for you. We appreciate you sharing this feedback with us though, and please do not hesitate to reach out if you would like to discuss further.
