Stock Availability
If an item is temporarily out of stock we will contact you immediately and inform you of the expected delivery date. If approved by you, the item will be placed on back order. Back ordered items are delivered as soon as they become available. On occasions we may not be able to supply your order in full, because of permanent out of stocks with our suppliers or items may be discontinued without notice, in this case we will contact you immediately and offer a substitute product.
Return and Exchange Policy
At Central Bark we strive for 100% customer satisfaction – we want everyone to be pawsitively delighted with their purchase and experience!
If the item you have purchased is the incorrect size, please contact us within 7 days and we will happily offer an exchange for the correct size. Please note that the product being returned must be in a suitable state to be resold and must be accompanied with its original packaging intact. The product also must be repackaged well by you, so it is not damaged in transit back to us.
We allow one exchange per item, except for bedding, with the return postage to be paid by you [you must pay for postage back to us and from us to you again with the correct sized item]. After one exchange, each exchange will incur a restocking and handling fee of $10.00 plus postage, which will be advised by Central Bark.
You can return any product for reasons involving defects or malfunction with the product itself for an exchange, within 30 days. We ask that you contact us to let us know about the problem before returning it to us. If an exchange is not available you will be given the choice of having the item and initial shipping costs refunded or we can offer you another item or issue you with a credit to find a replacement. All monetary refunds will be made by credit card or a cheque will be issued.
You are responsible for paying for return shipping to us. Central Bark will pay for the shipping costs back to you, for replacement items, for defective or malfunctioning products only.
Please note that your happiness is important to us and we will discuss the order with you and decide the best option on an individual basis.
