Are there any shipping restrictions or limitations for Ready-to-ship Domes?

Immediate shipment is available across Canada and the United States. For international orders, additional shipping time and costs apply. Please contact us directly for specific details regarding international shipping.

If you need to cancel your order for a Glamping Package Dome after your initial deposit has been paid, there is a 10% restocking fee that will be applied. This fee is necessary to cover the costs associated with the restocking process. Once a Dome is shipped, it cannot be returned. However, if there is a defect with the Dome upon delivery, we are committed to assisting you. We will work diligently to fix or replace any damaged parts to ensure your satisfaction.

Custom Domes FAQ

How do I start the process of ordering a custom Dome?

To begin your custom Dome order, complete our Dome Quote Builder Form or contact us directly. We will discuss your specific needs and preferences, including size, features, and any additional customization options you desire. For highly customized projects, it is a great idea to start the journey with a Discovery Call. 

The production and delivery of a custom Dome typically take between 12-14 weeks from the date of order confirmation and receipt of the deposit. This timeframe allows for the meticulous design, manufacturing, quality assurance process required for each unique Dome, and shipping time. 

For custom Dome orders, a 60% deposit is required to initiate the manufacturing process. The remaining balance is due prior to shipment. Payment can be made via e-transfer, bank deposit, or credit card (note that credit card payments include a 3% processing fee).

Changes to custom orders can only be accommodated within a very limited timeframe during the production process. Please communicate any modifications as soon as possible to avoid additional costs or delays.

We do not offer refunds for Custom Domes once the order has been placed. Due to the nature of these personalized orders, all sales are considered final as they are made to meet specific customer specifications.

We will work diligently to fix or replace any damaged parts to ensure your satisfaction. If repairs are required on your end, we will cover any costs and materials associated with the repair. 

Returns of Add-Ons are accepted provided they are in saleable condition. A 10% restocking/administrative fee will be deducted from your refund to cover processing costs. Additionally, the cost of return shipping must be borne by the customer.

Phoenix Domes offers a comprehensive 5-year warranty on the white or coloured PVC Dome and Zome covers, protecting against UV damage and premature deterioration. Additionally, we provide a 2-year warranty on clear PVC windows and skylights. If the seams on the covers split or open on their own during the warranty period, we will supply a complimentary patch kit to address the issue. In cases where a repair is not feasible, we will replace the damaged part entirely. 

To further enhance your experience, we offer replacement panorama windows and skylights, with the option to upgrade to polycarbonate or glass in the future for improved durability and clarity. This ensures that your investment remains secure and continues to provide value for years to come.
