Returns, Refunds and Contact Information
Click Here for more information about our return policy and contact information. We only issue store credit for return items, shipping excluded, unless there is a manufacturer defect or error in the type of item shipped. You should contact your carrier if the item was damaged in shipping. We recommend that you purchase Insurance or Signature Confirmation for secure delivery. Do not sign for an item if it is damaged so that you do not eliminate the opportunity for recovery. We do not provide refunds/store credit, for items damaged during shipping. All items shipped via UPS are automatically insured (most carriers, beds and larger items. These are options not automatically included in our shipping and handling charge for smaller items or those shipped using US Mail. Please email us prior to ordering if you wish to purchase insurance.
IMPORTANT: If you have completed payment by credit card and then cancelled your order, you must email us to let us know so that we can make confirm that your card has not been charged. If you have submitted payment using Echeck or Paypal, please know that these accounts operate similarly to regular checks. We do not charge your account. You submit payment at the time of purchase at your convenience. You must allow for charges to post to your account in the normal manner in the event a reverse is applicable (for out of stock items, early cancellations etc). Please Note That Receipts, Refunds and Credit Card Charges May Appear as Sophistication Alley Ltd.
Order Confirmations
Email Order confirmations are sent immediately following completed orders on our system. If you do not receive an email confirmation, please contact us and we will forward it to you. We advise that you review your order confirmation carefully to make sure that it accurately reflects your intended purchase. We cannot cancel orders once they are entered into processing. AOL subscribers may want to check their spam folders for such confirmations. You will receive a shipping notice once your order ships. Your tracking information is either uploaded into your account or provided by separate email from UPS or USPS.
Cancellations
Except as stated below, you may cancel your order up to 24 hours after placing your order by accessing your online account. (In case you do not receive confirmation of cancellation by email). You have to set up an account to do this. All email requests for cancellation must be confirmed by the store. Please note, there is no cancellation without confirmation. By all means use our HELP desk, which records all incoming mail if you do not think your email has been received. Our grace period for cancellations is within 24 hours of your order. After 24 hours, there is a $5 cancellation fee (or $10 for orders over $100). Please note, there is no guarantee that orders can be canceled after 24 hours or if the item has already shipped or is logged as COMPLETED. Some items ship or are sent to processing immediately. In such cases, no cancellations are permitted if you have been issued a tracking number or shipping notice even if you email within 24 hours. Those orders must be processed as returns. All unconfirmed requests for cancellation must be processed as returns with the associated restocking fee and deduction of the small order processing fee, as applied. Please note, we cannot modify an order once processing has commenced which is generally after 24 hours of your order placement. There are no cancellations granted for special order, personalized or customized items. See Returns for more information about our return policy and restocking fees).
Small Order Processing Fee
There is no minimum order requirement in our store, however, in order to maintain our low prices, there is a $5 processing fee for orders under $50. Our processing fee is in addition to the shipping and handling charge for each order. This requirement applies to all coupon or discount purchases except for customers using return store credit coupons for return exchanges. (In this case, the processing fee is deleted during our processing after you checkout).
Your Account Information
Please note, for security reasons, we cannot accept communication from anyone other than the person who set up the account and from the original email address. Thank you.
Shipping Delays
Once processing is completed, we will send you a shipping notice. Each order is accompanied by tracking information. In most instances this is emailed to you direct from the carrier (UPS or USPS) the same day you receive your shipping notice from our store if it is not uploaded to your account. Please allow time for packaging, labeling and placement of your order with the carrier. In the rare situation that you experience a delay of 5 business days or more between receipt of your tracking/delivery confirmation information and actual shipment, please contact us with SHIPPING DELAY in the subject line and your order number so we can investigate. We process hundreds of orders daily, but need to make sure that every order that goes out is double-checked for quality control. On occasion adjustments need to be made for size, color or damages that may have occurred in transit that may delay shipping/receipt of your order.
Backorders/Out of Stock Items If your item is on backorder or if you have received a notice that your item is on backorder, you may request cancellation via email if the B/O (Backorder) is beyond the stated shipping time. Please request confirmation of your cancellation request. If your item has not shipped and is beyond the processing time indicated in your order confirmation, if you have not received notification, assume that it is backordered. Some of our items are so popular that we occasionally run out of stock before we can post the information to our website. In other instances, because we are a specialty store with many custom made or made to order items, we rely on notification from the designer after the order has been placed. Your online account will show the item as pending or cancelled if it has been discontined or will not be available. We will attempt to notify you, but please be aware, that in some instances, we are not aware that an item is on backorder until we receive a shipment from a designer or manufacturer. You may want to check your account online or email us if you have a question about your order's status. You are not charged for backordered items (unless you submitted payment via Paypal). Please note, backordered items are shipped as available up to 8 weeks from your order as a courtesy if they are available unless (1) you have indicated in your order a "Ship By" date (see below for details) that has not been met, (2) You request that your order be shipped in its entirety in one shipment or (3) you have made a written request for cancelllation receipt of which has been confirmed. (If you do not receive written confirmation of your request, please call to speak to an operator within 2 days of your email request noting the date and time of your that request. Please note, we do not ship items that are out of stock (O/S) and you are not charged for such items. Again, if you wish that your order be shipped in its entirety or not at all, you need to let us know in the comment section of your order. If you have not received your order within the time anticipated, please use the HELP desk to notify us.
Item Availability. Because we are a specialty store and most of our items are made to order/custom made, our site does not show real time inventory. Only approximate availability. Items that are on known backorder or temporarily unavailable will have N/A under the item description and you will not be able to add them to your shopping cart. Other items require a minimum processing time. In most instances, your card is charged when your order is ready for shipping. In the event an item is out of stock, these items are not shipped and that part of your order is automatically canceled. Items are otherwise shipped as available and your account is credited if items are out of stock. Please note that we sometimes ship items separately because of their availability or location. There is no additional shipping charge for these orders. If you only prefer that your order be shipped in its entirety, e.g. if you are purchasing items that you would like as a set or need together, please indicate on your invoice during checkout. If you do not so indicate, we may ship items as available, or not at all depending on their availability e.g. backordered items, collars and leashes.
Exchanges and Store Credit
All returns including those regarding Pet Carriers and Pet Clothing are for exchanges or store credit only if unused and they meet the other criteria for returnable items. (See our return policy). Store credit is valid for 90 days from issuance. Simply make a regular purchase online in the amount of your credit and reference your old order number with the credit reference in the comment section of your new order.
Defective Items/Warranty
Please note, damaged merchandise is not defective merchandise. If your item is damaged by the shipper, please refuse the package. Defective merchandise represents a basic flaw in the design or construction of the item and these claims are handled directly with the manufacturer under the manufacturer's warranty. We do not provide any warranty for items. (See below). We will assist you in contacting the manufacturer provided we are advised of the condition of the item within five calendar days of receipt. Please note, you may void any manufacturer warranty if you wait too long and we will not assist you if we are not contacted promptly with five calendar days of receipt. Except as otherwise stated, we will process your defective item as a return only if have contact us promptly and the manufacturer refuses to honor their warranty. You will need to contact the manufacturer first. If the manufacturer will not honor their warranty, your remedy will be limited solely to replacement by our company of the same item (or similar item, as determined by our company if the same is not available), provided you have contacted us within five business days of receipt of your item. We will not process your replacement item if you have not made a timely request i.e. within five calendar days of receipt. After such time, the customer must contact the manufacturer directly for any remedy. All requests/notifications regarding defective items must be in writing. If you do not get a response to our email within 48 hours, please use the help desk and review our business and vacation times. You should also send a written request to our business address with return receipt requested as proof of mailing. Please contact us prior to ordering if you require information regarding manufacturer warranties on specific items. If you merely have a change of heart in what you want to purchase this is a return and you should review the procedure below. If you need a different size, (see info below on apparel sizes) that is a straight return.
Notwithstanding the above, if an item is returned and not found to be defective, all shipping charges to and from the customer's ship to address will be charged to the customer's account. The determination of the defect can only be determined by our company with or without support of the manufacturer. Any and all defects occurring after 5 calendar days of receipt of the item will be covered under the respective warranty of the manufacturer or representative thereof, as available and not by our store.
Defects caused by user error or negligence are not covered by this policy, including, but not limited to not reading the instructions, if any, included with the purchased item.
Our pet fashion is primarily for decorative purposes and not in anyway intended for specific uses. Please make sure your pet is properly supervised when wearing apparel or using any pet item. Regular wear of any item may include one time use by pets that are hard on items e.g through chewing or rugged wear. We expressly disclaim all uses of any items sold on this site. Product descriptions are for general information only. Our site disclaims all warranties, express or implied, including also any implied warranties of merchantability and fitness for a particular purpose.
Shipping Errors
If an incorrect item is shipped, upon receipt of your return item (please request an RMA), we will reship the appropriate item for no charge and issue you store credit for the return shipping (the lesser of actual postage or the amount initially charged customer for S&H). Of course, there is no restocking for incorrect items, otherwise, the return process is the same for other returns.
Processing Time/Status Checking and Emails
Our average processing time for most orders is 2 to 4 weeks. On occasion, because we work with mainly small designers, items may also be backordered up to six weeks. Many of our items are unique, imported or handmade so processing times vary. Please check or inquire about our non-business days to approximate shipping time. Please note that we are not responsible for delivery times, particularly during holiday periods once we have placed your item with the carrier. We ship using USPS or UPS only. We only calculate processing time or an approximate ship date. Please email us if you have questions regarding a specific order or need an approximate ship date.
Expedited or Express Delivery/"Ship By" dates.
These shipping options are available by prior email request only and your shipping cost will have to be adjusted manually. Important, make sure that you receive written confirmation in response to your request confirming the date an item will ship using Express/Overnight or Expedited Shipping via UPS (Second Day/Overnight/Three Day). Without confirmation, your order will ship per our standard processing times. Please note, if you pay for express mail or expedited shipping via UPS, we guarantee that we will ship your item by the date we have confirmed with you using Express Mail or UPS expedited delivery or your card will be fully refunded for shipping. Please note, if we cannot accommodate the "Ship By" date, our policy is not to ship the item. Attention: our "Ship By" policy refers to dates specified as a "Ship by" date, not a delivery date in the comment section of your order during checkout. We cannot accommodate date requests after you have placed an order as Ship By dates. If you have made a mistake, you can cancel your order and reorder providing your order has not yet been processed (i.e. it remains in "Recent" and not "Pending" or "Approved". All "Ship By" dates must be indicated as follows: E.g. Correct - "Please ship by May 22." Incorrect- "Need by May 22" or " Deliver by May 22." If no "Ship By" date is specified, we ship in accordance with our standard shipping times. Please do not specify a delivery date because we cannot accommodate anything other than a "Ship by" date especially over a holiday season. All dates will be construed as "Ship by" dates. If you request a "Ship By" date by email following placement of your order and there is no Ship By date in the order, we cannot guarantee shipping on that date, but will try to accommodate. As with all Expedited or Express Delivery requests, please confirm your "Ship by" date with us via email. This should be prior to placing your order or no later than the day of your order. If your "Ship By" date is inconsistent with your shipping option, e.g. you have selected the discount shipping option, we default to the processing time for discount shipping. (See below). Do not rely solely on your comment via the checkout process. Please make sure you receive an email confirmation approving your request to ship on your "Ship By" date if you have a deadline. We are not responsible for actual delivery time once the item has been placed with the carrier on the "Ship by" date selected. If USPS or UPS fails to deliver your item in the time frame for the selected level of service, you must pursue the appropriate claim with the respective entity. We are happy to assist by providing you the necessary tracking numbers. Please note, that tracking information is not always available at the carrier site until after delivery. Contact USPS or UPS if you do not see your tracking information for further information.
Please note, we save money that we pass onto you in lower prices by giving you the means to check on the status of your order online rather than engaging in lengthy email correspondance. Upon checkout, you will receive a url link that will allow you to determine at your own convenience if your item is still pending (in which case the item may be on backorder), approved and cued for shipping or completed which means it has been shipped. If your item was cancelled, it's usually because it is no longer available. In most instances, we will notify you by email if your order has been cancelled, but we do not always rely on email because of spam filters and if we have a high volume of orders. Please check your account online, but feel free to email us if you have a problem accessing your account.If you purchase an item by credit card and then cancel before processing, please email us so that we can assure that your account is credited. Problems with your order such as mixing discounts and specials (only one special, freebie or discount per order) or denial of credit card may also result in cancellation, but in most instances we'll let you know the problem. Please note that emails regarding questions other than status get top priority.
Delivery
If you have a "ship by" date, please indicate that date in the comment section of your order and confirm that date with us in an email the date of your order. Please note, we cannot accommodate any ship by dates less than five days of the date of your order. If we cannot ship by that date and you wish to cancel, you will not incur any restocking fee and will be fully refunded if your card was charged. (See details above).
We process each order manually and note comments on your order. We cannot accommodate specific delivery instructions, e.g. leave on the front porch, because we can determine the method of shipping, not the delivery. You need to leave such messages for your local carrier. The comment section is a good place to note when you might need the item or if you would like insurance, for which we will bill you separately. We will in most instances update your status to approved within 48 hours of your order. This indicates that processing has commenced. Please note, our business days are M to F excluding Public and Jewish Holidays. Please email us if you need to know these dates. Online account status checking, however, allows you to access your account and order status 24/7. Please note..holiday periods are our busiest time and processing time may take longer as our regular shipping times are suspended. If you have urgent shipping needs or a deadline, please contact us to enquire about expedited shipping or whether we can advance your order. (See above).
Pet Apparel, Toys and Jewelry--Safety First
Your pets are like small children in many ways. We do not recommend leaving animals unattended with ANY articles of clothing, jewelry, toys or with hats on. It's possible that they can snag clothing or jewelry on something and cannot get free. Most, if not all of our jewelry is decorative, so you should not leave your pet unattended while they are wearing necklaces or other jewelry. Unless otherwise expressly stated, you should assume all clothing and boots are for novelty purposes only. You also have to watch how they play with certain toys. If they tear them apart, these toys must be removed permanently. Your pet should not play with old toys. It's the same reason we caution against leaving plastic bags lying around. These seem to be an attraction for pets and their legs can get tangled in the handles. If you do leave your pet with a purchase while unattended, please know that you do so at your own risk and that of your pets.
Pet Products--Sizes
We recommend that you make your selection carefully or contact us for additional information if you are unsure of the correct size for your purchase. We don't recommend specific sizes because we cannot guarantee the measurements of your pet and the size of individual pets of even the same breed vary, but we are happy to supply the manufacturer information so you can make a decision. As a general rule, refer to the size chart for a specific item and the dimensions of the product. None of our items sold indicate size by weight, for instance. Particularly with respect to pet carriers or car seats, the weight indicates the "give" in the fabric for certain weights. It does not determine fit. The dimensions provide the best guide. The customer is ultimately responsible for selecting the appropriate size for their pet. We strongly encourage you to write us prior to purchase if you need more specific information.
Please note, where sizing information is given for breeds, this is an estimate since individual pets will differ. Refer to our measuring guide to assist you in finding the correct size or email us prior to purchase with your pet's full measurements in which case we will try to assist with general information provided by an individual manufacturer based on the measurements you provide. We encourage customers to contact us prior to purchase with any questions they may have regarding fit or returns. We are happy to help and provide you with manufacturer recommendations, other customer experiences with the item you wish to purchase or specifics regarding the return policy with respect to your intended purchase.
For Collars in particular, the smallest sizes of a particular item may not have all the features of the larger sizes to accommodate fit. E.g. fewer jewels, slightly different shape, buckle placement. This is especially true of x-small to xxx-sizes, 6 to 10 inches. Please ask if you are unsure about your item or the information seems insufficient.
For Pet Carriers in particular, soft carriers are notoriously difficult to size exactly. They are not made from cookie cutter molds and the dimensions are not exact for each. They may vary within a few inches because of the fabric. E.g. They do not stand at a certain height because they do not have the reinforced framing of hard pet carriers. This give is one of the reasons certain carriers have some flexibility for airline travel and fitting under the passenger seat. Please ask prior to purchase if you are unsure about your item or the information seems insufficient especially if your pet is of borderline size compared to the given dimensions. We do not provide refunds. Store credit or exchange only.
For Airline Approved Pet Carriers
Please Read: Be advised, each airline has its own requirements for travel with pets. We provide the dimensions of our carriers so you can check to see if they are within a specific airline carrier's guidelines.
While small dogs are usually ok to travel by plane in a tote, the carriers we specify as Airline Approved will fit comfortably under the seat in most cabins. We have tried to provide the dimensions in most cases so that you can compare them to those required by the airlines. The limit for the large sized carriers for cabins is approximately 23 pounds. The dimensions of your dog may make a difference. Don't forget to check that you have a reservation for your pet before you fly and check that the dimensions are ok for your plane and flight.

Please note that cached pages on the internet may not reflect accurate pricing. Where sale items are indicated, they may not reflect the larger sizes of many items which customarily higher for many items of clothing and some pet carriers.

Insurance
Please note, we are not responsible for packages once shipped. We supply tracking information upon request for domestic orders, but this is not insurance. If your package is lost, you need to contact USPS if the item was sent priority mail or UPS. We ship all items with delivery confirmation. The items you purchase are not automatically insured (unless shipped via UPS). If you would like your item insured, you need to indicate in the comment section of your order and we will add the appropriate charge. There is no additional fee for insurance for items shipped via UPS ground under $100. Feel free to contact us prior to placing your order if you would like to verify whether your item will be shipped UPS or USPS or to notify us if you have a preference.
Delivery Instructions
Please don't tell us where to leave the package at your house, leave a key under the mat or check round the back. We hand items over to your local carrier. If you have specific instructions, you may want to leave them at your local postoffice. We regret, we are not able to accommodate any such instructions.
Undelivered Items/Shipping Address/Methods of Shipping
Items returned to us because they could not be delivered by the post office using the address you supplied will be processed as returns with the appropriate restocking fee. Customer is responsible for providing an address that can receive packages. No P.O. Boxes please. We ship using USPS Priority Mail, USPS First Class, or UPS unless otherwise noted. Your shipping/tracking information will indicate the carrier used to ship your item. If you have restrictions regarding your address, you should provide an alternate address for receiving packages.

Customer Contact Information
Customer is responsible for providing a valid shipping address, i.e. one that is recognized as valid by USPS at www.USPS.com. In addition, Customer must supply valid email address to which it can receive email sent by us. We are not responsible for communications you do not receive if your email address is incorrect, your mailbox is full or if you have a filter that will not accept email sent to us.

General
We do not provide shipping to APO/FPO or to International destinations other than Canada, UK, Western Europe or Australia at this time unless on a case by case basis. No P.O. Boxes please. We import many of our items and sometimes deliver from different warehouses which accounts for the difference in times. We also favor unique items made by small vendors and home businesses which offers you variety, but may add a little processing time. On orders that require engraving please add another (3) business days. If there are more than 3 items to be engraved please add (4) two business days. If we ship via USPS, you will receive an email notification that your order has been shipped. Tracking numbers will be provided for your reference upon request. HandsnPaws will do what it can to help you track your package, however we are not responsible for your lost or delayed package once the package has been delivered to the carrier. If you are concerned about breakages...a rarity for us...you should indicate on your order that you would like insurance. We will bill you separately for the insurance. It is the customer's responsibility to give a shipping address that will enable the carrier to deliver. We accept only addresses that are consider valid by USPS. You may check your proper address by going to www.USPS.com.The individual carrier at his/her discretion may choose to leave the package at the door. If the package is left at the door, then it becomes the customer's responsibility. It is advisable that the shipping address provided indicate the name of a receiver. There maybe an additional charge for incorrect address listed on the order form, or for any change of address once the package has been shipped and in the carrier's possession. It is the customer's responsibility to provide the correct shipping address. HandsnPaws assumes no liability for packages left at the door. It is highly recommended that the shipping address provided have an adult to sign for the package. (At this time we cannot ship orders to NON-US Countries other than those specified above and there will be an additional charge for Hawaii, Virgin Islands and Alaska) . Please note, we reserve the right to refuse service and payments on our merchandise. Prices are subject to change and we do not guarantee sale prices if you return to make a purchase at a later date. Please note that your purchase is complete the date you submit funds via Paypal or the postmark date of your check if payment is mailed (date stamped by post office on the envelope). If your credit card is denied, your purchase is not complete and the price of your item is the current price the date you make your purchase.
Shipping & Handling
Customers should note that "postage" i.e. the stamp that may appear on the item shipped upon arrival is different from "Shipping & Handling " which is assessed during checkout. S&H includes processing and transaction fees incurred by the company in any transaction regardless of amount and is not mere postage. It also covers the cost of delivering a package to a carrier, the cost of the packaging and may also include importing or special delivery charges in transferring the items to our warehouse. This charge may vary depending on the location of the customer or the origination point of the item being made. If a customer would like to know the specific S&H charge on a purchase they can enter their zip code in their shopping cart prior to checkout for the final cost which will allow the customer to evaluate their total cost.
Shipping Charges
While some stores prefer to roll their fees, costs, shipping and handling charges into their item prices, and appeal to purchasers with a flat fee or free shipping, we try to keep our prices as low as we can and have separate shipping, handling and processing fees that vary depending on the
weight of the items, order value, the number of items and the location of the customer. On average, for domestic orders that total 1lb or under in weight the S&H charge is $6.60 to $10. For orders that contain multiple items or heavy items the S&H for domestic orders doesn't usually total more than $18 to $20 on average. Some purchases may result in higher S&H to accommodate multiple or heavy items. If you believe your S&H is unusually high for your order, by all means email us using the contact page for a review and adjustment, as appropriate. Methods of Payment
We accept Visa, Mastercard, Discover and American Express.
We accept Paypal payments using our checkout process, however, please note that we will ONLY ship to your confirmed address with Paypal regardless of the destination address entered when you check out. Please do not make a paypal payment if you wish to ship to an alternate address. Orders are processed automatically to the confirmed Paypal address.
Gift Certificates
Partial credit is not offered for unused portions of gift certificates or coupons. They cannot be used with other offers or coupons and must be used within the posted expiration date in accordance with any restrictions provided when they were issued or within the coupon.
Out of Stock
Some of our items are so popular that we occasionally run out of stock
before we can post the information to our website. Your online account will show the item as pending or cancelled if it has been discontined or will not be available. We will attempt to notify you, but please be aware, that in some instances, we are not aware that an item is on backorder until we receive a shipment from a designer or manufacturer. You may want to check your account online or email us if you have a question about your order's status. If you order several items and only part of your order is available, we ship what is in stock unless you indicate in the comment section of your order that you wish us to ship your order in its entirety. If you omit this information, please email us on the date of your order so we are aware. Your order will be given priority if you wish to reorder regardless of your shipping selection if the item is again in stock.
