As a vast majority of in-stock items ship within 24 hours from our Kentucky or Nevada-based warehouse, it is imperative that you contact us so we may attempt to cancel your order before it is processed and/or shipped. If your order has shipped you will need to login to our website and request a Return Authorization Number.

Restrictions on Returns
Non-defective returns are accepted for credit or exchange at PupGear’s discretion. All non-defective returns are subject to a twenty percent (20%) restocking fee. If the item included free shipping, the amount to ship the item to you will be calculated and deducted from the sales price.Any authorized return will be calculated on the equipment only and will not include the original shipping costs to the customer. The cost of the return shipment will also be the responsibility of the customer. All products returned must be complete. This includes all original manufacturer’s protective packaging (including electrostatic protection), manuals, documentation, or accessories originally shipped with the product, blank warranty cards, and original UPC codes on the box. Incomplete returns may be returned to the Customer.

Shipping Damage
If the product arrives with damage that is visible or likely to have affected the contents of the boxes, the preferred method of handling it is to refuse delivery of the shipment due to damage by the carrier. The carrier will be responsible for returning it to PupGear. The Client must note the reason for refusal of the carrier’s ‘attempted delivery’ record. If the damaged shipment is accepted, the recipient must note all known and visible damage on the carrier’s ‘delivery record’ in order for PupGear to file a damage claim. The recipient must save the product and all packing it arrived in and notify PupGear immediately so a carrier inspection and pickup can be arranged. Failure to follow these instructions or to report damage within fifteen (15) days from the invoice date will result in the request being denied as out of return eligibility.
Overgoods
Overgoods are unauthorized returns. Any products returned to PupGear without a valid RMA number will be considered Overgoods. The Overgoods may be returned to the Client and the Client may be charged a $50 processing fee per shipment returned, plus related freight charges. If the Client refuses the shipment of Overgoods from PupGear or returns the Overgoods to PupGear a second time without PupGear prior authorization, the Client agrees to relinquish all right and title to and waives all claims against PupGear for credit related to such products.THE ORIGINAL MANUFACTURER'S BOX MUST NOT BE WRITTEN UPON
