I ordered multiple items but I have only received one/some of them. Why?
If you ordered multiple items from us, it is likely that the goods will be shipped in several packages from different centers and different countries. We have warehouses across the world and depending on the product, it will be shipped out accordingly from these warehouses.
We are doing our best to reduce costs for our buyers so that you do not have to pay high charges/taxes/premiums to get your items! Please allow some time for all of your items to arrive.
Wrong Address :
We are not responsible if a package is undeliverable because of missing, incomplete, or incorrect destination information. We do our best to avoid errors by verifying the shipping information with every customer in the order confirmation.
Costs to reship the package will be invoiced to the customer.
Marked as delivered:
If an item is marked as successfully delivered by the domestic postal service in your country (e.g. USPS/Canada Post) to the correct address provided upon ordering but has not successfully arrived, please kindly reach out to the respected carrier for additional details.
This is left to the discretion of TheBarkingMutt.com, however in this specific scenario we cannot issue a refund.
However, if shipping insurance was purchased for this order, we will gladly offer a full refund for you.
Please contact us so we can help at hello@thebarkingmutt.com. Each case is different so be sure to include all relevant information when contacting us. Shipping Insurance will only cover packages that are lost in transit. If package was marked as delivered, shipping insurance will not cover that.
Import taxes / Refusal of package:
We will not be responsible for any Duties, Taxes, or Customs fees under any circumstances.
If the order arrives at your country and...
- The customer refuses to accept the package
- No attempt is made in the country of destination to deliver the package.
We deserve the right to abandon the package(s) and will not be responsible for any refund.
Additional dispatch & delivery information
By placing an order, you are responsible for original shipping charges (unless it is free shipping), all applicable custom and duty import fees.
Estimated time of delivery for metropolitan areas is usually faster than to rural or remote areas. Please note that delays to estimated shipping times may occur during peak holiday season. Once your order has been dispatched, we will send you email updates about its progress so you when to expect it. If you live in a remote area, your parcel may be forwarded to a local courier service. This will appear on your tracking as a delivery event.
Do note also that on rare occasions custom agencies may delay the delivery of some packages. We are unable to take responsibility should such a delay occur, as the release of the package is at the sole discretion of customs officials. If you have any issues, we recommend contacting your local customs office.
