Return Policy

We understand that sometimes what you buy online won’t work out exactly the way you thought they would. From color (some screens show colors differently), to sizing (may be too big or too small), or maybe you just don’t like what you got.

While we will truly do our best to accommodate your requests, we'll be upfront: returns are not an easy process. We have to follow certain regulations and restrictions. Listed below are what you'll need to know before you buy and should you decide you want to return something to us.

 

Please Read Before Your Order!

First, let’s cover some basics to help avoid the whole Returns issue to begin with (if possible).

Measure Your Dog and Space
The top reason for returns is that customers purchase the wrong size. The absolute best way to ensure that you (and your dog) are completely satisfied with the items you purchase is, before you order, take the time to measure your dog and to measure the space where you intend to put the item. Then follow the guidelines for all products that have a Sizing Guide on the product page. If you have any questions about what is the best size or style for your dog, please contact us and we will help you figure it out. 

Shipping Address
Make sure your shipping address is correct on your order. This may sound like a no-brainer, but a quick double-check could save you money (redirecting shipments or re-shipping if something is undeliverable is not cheap). If you live in an apartment, regardless of whether it's a gated community or has a doorman, you must include a unit number. FedEx is not responsible for misdeliveries to addresses that are wrong or to apartments that do not have unit numbers specified in the shipping address (and they will charge you!).

Order Cancellation
We do our very best to get your order processed in the fastest amount of time possible. Periodically we will get an order in the morning, process it quickly, and it ships in the afternoon. If you need to cancel your order, please contact us ASAP. We may or may not be able to cancel the order before it gets shipped – we will do our very best. If your order is shipped before we can get it canceled for you, you may be charged the shipping fees. We guarantee that we will do our absolute best to cancel your order before it’s shipped, but we simply can’t promise.

 

Returns and Your Refund

If you do these things and still need to return something, that’s totally fine. Here are some things for you to know. It’s a lot of words to read, but it gives you everything you need!

30 Day Returns Policy
We have a 30 day returns policy. If you bought something from us, we will accept it back within 30 days of the delivery date (given the other stuff below).

Exchanges
We don’t really do exchanges. But if you want to return something for a different size, for example, return what you got using the steps below, and then order the replacement. It’s a cleaner process than exchanging it. 


Returns 
To get the return process started, fill out our Return Form. You must do this to begin the process, because we must get a Return Authorization Number for you. Please do not mail your return without a Return Authorization Number! You most likely will NOT receive credit for having returned the item and most likely you won’t get a refund if you return an item without an RA#. It’s just that simple.

Proof of purchase from AIRBUGGY for Pet is necessary for all returns and exchanges.

Any item that has been purchased secondhand will not be accepted for return or exchange.

We can ONLY take an item back if it is in brand newnever usednever washednever installednever assembled condition, and your dog (or any other pet) has never had any contact with it – EVER. All of the original packaging must be in the box when the manufacturer receives it. As much as we’d like to take back any item for any reason, the simple fact is – we are unable to accept any returned item that has pet hair, pet odor, has been assembled or installed (or attempted assembled or installed), or in any way looks or smells like a pet has been in contact with it. (If you set it down on carpet that has pet hair, use a lint brush on it before you box it back up).

Please allow 5-7 business days for us to process your return after you fill out the Return Form. We have to get a Return Authorization Number so it can take a few days to get you the information you need for the return. We’ll send you the Return Authorization Number and instructions for how to return the item. You then have 14 days to get it in the mail. If you mail it on day 15 or after, we are unable to honor it, and then we won’t be able to give you a refund. 

Restocking Fees 
We charge restocking a restocking fee of 30% of the purchase price for merchandise that is returned for reasons other than manufacturing defect or shipping error. 

Refunds
For all returns, the cost of both outbound shipping and restocking fees will be deducted from the original price you paid for the item. Refunds will be credited to the payment method used for purchase.

For example, let’s say you purchase a dog mat (or any other item) for $105.00. The purchase price includes free shipping, and the manufacturer charges a restocking fee of 30% for all returns. When you receive the mat, you realize that you purchased the wrong size. You want to return it for a refund. If you have attempted to install the mat, we cannot accept the door for return, nor can we issue a refund. If you realize the sizing error without your dog having any contact with it or without attempting to install it, you may return the mat. This is the refund calculation for this example:

Example:
Purchase Price: $500
Restocking Fee (30%): $150
Outbound Shipping: $68
Total Refund Amount: $282

 

Return Shipping
For all returns (except those described in the section below), you are responsible for return shipping. In some cases (large or heavy items), we can get a better shipping rate than you can. In those cases, we can send you a return label and deduct the amount from your refund.

 

Defects, Damaged Goods, and Shipping Errors

We do our very best to get your order to you on time and in brand new condition. Unfortunately, there are occasionally manufacturing defects, damage during shipping, and shipping delays that we don't have control over. Of course, if there is a defect or the item was damaged in shipping, we will replace the item at no cost to you, and will get the replacement out to you as soon as possible. If you would like a refund instead, that’s fine. We’ll need to deduct the shipping and restocking fees from your refund.
 

Receiving Your Order 
In any situation, it is very important that you inspect the package as soon as you pick it up and take possession of it.

  • If there is any damage to your order, please contact us right away so we can file a claim with the shipping company.
  • If you are present at the time of delivery, ask the freight carrier for a copy of the delivery receipt. Then record the shipping company's name and truck number so we may track the order back to our vendor or warehouse.
  • It is your responsibility to check that all items are correct and undamaged and all pieces accounted for. If the product is damaged in shipping, you may choose to refuse the delivery. If you choose to refuse the delivery, you must note the damages on the delivery receipt. If you accept the delivery, contact us within two (2) business days and we can work with the manufacturer to have a new one shipped to you.

If only part of an item is damaged, you may accept the order, note the damages, and contact us within two (2) business days of receiving your order. We will work with the manufacturer/supplier to send you the replacement parts.

Warranty Issue
If you have a warranty issue (manufacturing defect) within the 30 day window, please fill out our Return Form and let us know the problem. We will work with you and the manufacturer to resolve the issue as quickly as possible. The supplier will send you a replacement right away at no cost to you or, if you'd prefer a refund, you will be responsible for shipping charges.
