Frequently Asked Questions

HOW LONG DOES IT TAKE FOR DELIVERY?

An estimated delivery time will be shown on the product pages and on the checkout page before you place your order and 90% of orders arrive within this timeframe.
On average, items once shipped arrive in 
8-12 business days however it can take up to three weeks in busy periods and to certain locations so please allow up to 28 days.
Carriers and postal services work independently from us so we cannot guarantee or promise delivery times as they can vary from country to country and peak seasons. 

All orders placed before 5pm GMT are processed the same day and passed over to our suppliers to ship directly. Orders placed after this time are processed the following morning. Our supplier will then dispatch your order usually within 24hrs but can be up to 72 hours over Bank Holiday Weekends and Holiday periods. 

Depending on where you are, we will aim to ship from the closest supplier to your location in order to reduce shipping times.

If you need to cancel please do so within 24hours as we cannot guarantee the item hasn't already shipped after this time.

DO I HAVE TO PAY CUSTOMS CHARGES?

Simple answer, No. All taxes and charges are included in the price you pay with the correct customs forms attached as the value of most orders is low.
However please note that your local postal service / import customs may inspect packages and add an additional charge ( Customs Duty) particularly if the order value is over €150 or equivalent so if ordering a large amount of items it may be worthwhile separating into smaller orders to avoid these charges.

DO YOU OFFER A WARRANTY?
Unfortunately, we are not able to offer a guarantee on the durability and long term use of our pet products. All dogs are different and no product can ever be completely indestructible, therefore it is possible that overly-aggressive play or activities can damage/break our products. This includes Jackets , Harnesses and Leads, as excessive pulling or reactivity while walking can cause damage to the product, particularly if your dog is a large heavy breed. In this instance we will not be able to offer a refund or replacement if it becomes damaged. If in doubt please contact us before purchase so we can advise.

As dog owners ourselves, we too have experienced the dismay when we gave our four legged friend the "Toughest Dog Toy - Will last even the toughest of chewers" as advertised only to have it in pieces within 24 hours so we just want to be honest and transparent with you to avoid disappointment, but all of the products we sell will give you value for money when used with care.

Owners should practise due diligence to decide if our products are suitable for their own dog and their behaviour. Not all of our products are designed to be suitable for all types of breeds and sizes of dogs.

All of our products should only be used under direct supervision and If the product breaks during use or presents any malfunction, cease use immediately.

Some dogs find wearing harnesses and collars uncomfortable so will continually scratch at them. This will cause damage and fraying and this is particularly noticeable at the underarm area on harnesses.

The Happy Paw Store can not refund any products that have broken during use unless the item arrived damaged, in which case this must be reported within 48 Hours.

CAN I CANCEL MY ORDER?

Cancellations are possible if you cancel before the item is shipped so please inform us within 24 hours or there is a chance your order has already been dispatched.

Please note that any orders that have already shipped, or are still in transit cannot be modified or cancelled. It you have changed your mind and want a refund, please wait until the item has arrived and you can then arrange to return it to us unused via our Returns Centre.

DELIVERY ADDRESS: Once the item is in transit, changes to the delivery address are not possible so please ensure you enter the right address or contact us before the item ships so we can change the details.

If there’s an issue with your order -- if we sent the wrong size, wrong colour, or it's defective -- then simply contact us with the information and we will resolve it for you. 

 

DO YOU OFFER EXCHANGES?

We do offer exchanges. If for any reason you didn’t get the right product or you need to swap it, just let us know via our Returns Centre. If the item is clothing and you need a different size please include measurements. See our Returns Centre above. 

Please note, any product that has been customised such as ID Collars are not eligible for return or exchange so please take measurements of your pet to ensure you order the correct size.
