Shipping Time
The time needed to ship merchandise will vary depending on the shipment's location, personalization orders and the particular time of year. All halter, leads and tack items are custom ordered, and, as such may take up to 4 weeks to prepare and ship. We do not carry stock of these items. Embroidered items, nylon tack and livestock halters may take up to 4 weeks to prepare and ship.
If you require items by a certain date, please contact me before placing your order to ensure that we can meet your requirements. I truly hate to disappoint anyone, and will be very honest in accepting an order only if I can meet your required date.
Customers should expect a 10 working day shipping time for non-personalized items (except nylon tack and halters). PERSONALIZED ITEMS ARE NOT RETURNABLE UNLESS DEFECTIVE.
Shipping Methods
Merchandise will be shipped using UPS Ground Service or USPS Priority Mail. In addition, some items may be shipped directly from the manufacturer to customers. We are not responsible for packages once they are shipped. If you wish your order to be insured, you must note that on your order and shipping insurance charges will be billed separately.
Cancellations
Orders cancelled prior to actual shipment will be subject to restocking fees, at our discretion.
Items already cut or begun will be charged a restocking fee of up to 25%, depending on the degree of completion and costs incurred. EX: if nylon item is cancelled prior to being cut, there will be no restocking fee. If nylon item is cancelled after being cut, you will incur restocking fees, at our discretion. Once personalization of an item has begun (embroidery, painting, engraving, etc), even if not yet shipped, the order may not be cancelled.
Damaged Shipment
Damaged shipments from handling must be claimed with the freight carrier. If any cartons are missing or damaged, be sure to note this on the freight bill. If you notice concealed damage after the driver has left, keep all the packing and call the freight carrier to return and inspect the damage and file a claim. We are not responsible for damage or loss caused by the freight carrier.
Shipping Insurance
If you wish to have your package insured, you must indicate that on your order before final checkout. You will be billed for the shipping insurance separately.
Manufacturers Defects
If a product appears to have a manufacturer’s defect, email our Customer Service department for instructions. Do not return products to us without first contacting us to receive instructions. If an item is to be returned to us due to manufacturers defect, you must first receive a Return Authorization Number. No packages will be accepted without a Return Authorization Number written clearly on the package.
