NEW UPDATE: Due to the COVID-19 Pandemic, we are temporarily NOT accepting any returns or exchanges to ensure everyone's safety and well-being.

Returns
Our policy lasts 30 days. If more than 30 days have gone by since your purchase, unfortunately we can’t offer you a refund or exchange.  Please note the limit on number of days is set to cover a range of policies from all of our different manufacturers and/or suppliers.  In some cases, we are limited in what we can do.  However, please know we will do everything we can, within reason, in that 30 day period for our customers.

To be eligible for a return, your item must be unopened, unused and in the same condition as when you received it. It must also be in its original packaging. A 25% return and restocking fee will apply.

Several types of goods are exempt from being returned. Perishable and consumable goods such as pet food, treats, medications, supplements cannot be returned. We also do not accept products that are intimate or sanitary goods, hazardous materials, or flammable liquids or gases.

Additional non-returnable items:

We strive to place your orders quickly and ship orders using the best available method possible.  Note, severe weather delays elsewhere can always impact local delivery timelines.  Our shipping providers employ internal mitigation strategies around weather over which we have no control.  Once your order is processed and handed to the shipping partners, we fall under their established protocols and procedures.

Your order can ship from one of our shipping/fulfillment locations: CA, IN, or NJ.  In some cases, depending upon what you ordered, it might ship from more than a single location or need to be shipped from a specific location.  If your order is split for shipping purposes, you will receive individual package updates.  Our goal is to always get you the cheapest possible shipping in real-time.  Therefore, in the background we employ real-time shipping rates from multiple vendors to optimize each order for the lowest possible shipping cost and fastest delivery time for your entire order.

Most orders are shipped out within 1-2 business days; holiday exceptions may apply. Transit time for orders shipping within the United States is anywhere between 2-7 business days; unforeseen factors like extreme weather (hurricane, floods, fire, etc.) or vendor related delays may apply.  Depending on the order, we may use FedEx, the US Postal Service, or other premium service providers.  You will receive a tracking # and the carrier used to ship your order once your order ships.  

Please allow up to 24 hours for https://www.fedex.com/en-us/home.html, https://tools.usps.com or other tracking services to display package travel history and delivery dates.  Note: Our shipping partners do NOT deliver to Post Office (PO) Boxes. We recommend shipping to your home or other non-PO Box address to ensure on time delivery.

Although we strive for excellence in everything we do, we realize life happens.  If there is any issue, we will always do our best to resolve those to our customer's satisfaction.  In case shipping damage occurs, have the box and merchandise inspected by the delivering carrier and notify us immediately. (Please SAVE the container with merchandise). Any order issues & damages must be reported within 48-hours.

1. We strive to have our order fulfillment locations be close to our manufacturers and suppliers so we can help cut back on "redundant" shipping related costs and pass those savings on to our customers.

2.  Our order fulfillment locations do NOT all carry the same items.  Larger orders will more likely be split between two or more locations and require multiple packages to be shipped.  Once your order ships, you will always get up-to-date details regarding your order for tracking purposes.
