Tiles are grades by their variability in appearance. It's entirely possible that the tile that you selected IS the tile that you got if it's a high V number. With it being a discontinued product, most retailers would not accept returns. It never hurts to ask though!

If the restocking fee is 20-30% and they will sock you with freight, (Read your sales agreement) it might be better to just Craigslist it and start over with something else.

Hello!
Depending on where you got this from, they should take it back as long as the boxes are complete...their may be some restocking fee involved. Where I work if it is an item we stock we do not charge a restocking fee. Dye lots are very unpredictable, so if you selected the tile from a sample board or they showed you an old loose sample than the current lot could be different and their lye's your problem. They definitely need to take some responsibility...you need to show them the tile you got vs the one you chose in the showroom/store. Good luck!!

Thanks so much everyone for your responses.
Just went to the shop, the sample was mislabeled!

The store taking full responsibility for it!

Unfortunately, the one I did want does not have enough quantity for the order.

But that is OK, I would rather have to choose again than pay a restocking fee!

Problem avoided! Now on to the next remodel issue....:-)
