  11. Please check your tiles carefully before fixing. Shade variation is a design feature of most of our tiles. If any reason you are not happy with the shade of your tiles, we cannot accept responsibility after the tiles have been fixed.

It is always helpful in the event that damage may be caused in transit to take a couple of photographs before they are wrapped and when they are wrapped, before they are collected.
