If we feel that we can restore the product to “new” by cleaning it, you will be charged a 20-50% restocking charge depending on the amount of cleaning & repacking necessary.Partial Refund – Discountable. The product was tried on once and was slightly soiled or scratched. It is still in good condition, but is no longer new. If your return cannot be brought to ‘new condition’ we will offer you a refund and re-sell the product as used at a discount. The refund is usually between 25% and 75%.

| No Refund |
| If the product has been used, soiled, or damaged (even just a few scratches or scuffs from being tried on) or our staff feels it’s just too gross or has been cleaned due to soiling, or is otherwise not resell-able, we will consider donating the product to a shelter. If you specify, we will donate the product in your pet’s name. Items ordered from other companies through HandicappedPetsCanada.com (Carts, Ramps, Steps, etc.) are warrantied through the manufacturer and cannot be returned to HandicappedPetsCanada.com.
The best way to Assess the condition of the product you are returning is to think if you received this product from HPC in this condition and it had some fur or any damage on it would you accept this as a new product? If the answer is no then your product is more than likely not returnable as this is how we access returns when we receive them from you and we appreciate your understanding. If you send a product back to us, you may specify that the product be donated if a refund is not available or will be returned to sender |

| Items Not Received |
| All items are shipped by a traceable method. This means that if you do not receive your order, we can find out from the shipper where and when it was delivered. If you do not receive an item that Fedex or the Post Office claims was delivered: 1 – Check with your neighbours. We have many cases where a neighbour has taken a package and forgotten to notify someone. 2 – If your package was left on your step and stolen, please file a police report. Send a copy of the report to your homeowners insurance company and the shipper. Your homeowners insurance may cover the cost of stolen items. If the shipper has a dishonest driver, this will alert them. 3 – If a complete investigation shows that we did not ship the package, we shipped it to the wrong address, or that we were at fault then we will re-ship it at our expense. Note that if you signed a note for Fedex or the Post Office saying they can leave packages at your door, then you also agreed not to hold them responsible if something is missing.If you believe your package is lost or not delivered we will initiate a claim with Canada Post or Fedex and once the investigation is concluded by Canada post or Fedex we will then take appropriate action based on the outcome of the claim. |

4.Our Restocking Fee
The restocking charge covers some of our costs associated with making the product ready to be used on another dog while we regret the needed to charge restocking fees on items that are returned to us the costs of packing and shipping the item are real. While we could increase our prices on all of our items to cover these costs on the ones that are returned as some sellers do, we choose to keep our prices as low as possible and only recover the cost of returns from those items that are actually returned. While we understand your disappointment with being charged a restocking fee for this return, we also understand that maintaining the most competitive price possible is benefits the vast majority of our buyers and is possible the reason you choose to purchase this item from us in the first place.

Our mission is to help your dog walk, and we will do whatever we can to accomplish that
5.Shipping
While we regret the need to charge shipping on items that we ship to our non local customers which we understand can be quite high for overnight service. While we could increase our prices on all of our items to provide “free shipping” as some sellers do, we choose to keep our prices as low as possible as free shipping is never “free” and is always built into the initial cost which is just not fair for our local customers and believe in full disclosure of costs associated with your purchase.
We also do not cover return shipping costs as these would also have to be built into the initial cost and not fair for the vast majority of customers that don’t need to return the product purchased. While we understand your disappointment with having to pay a return shipping fee and not being refunded on your initial shipping cost for this return, we also understand that maintaining the most competitive price possible that benefits the vast majority of our customers and is possibly the reason you choose to purchase this item from us in the first place.
Again we apologize for your disappointment but hope you understand the need for the shipping charges.

If we have not acted in accordance with the terms and conditions stated here, please let us know immediately and we will do whatever we can do make things right.
