Too Good to Be True Flat Rate Shipping ™:
Our shipping rates are "Too Good to Be True". Order an unlimited number
of items, including multiple SmartPaks, for just $6.95 in shipping. And we
don’t ever add surcharges for heavy items! Not even dog food!
It's simple and it's fair. Order a little or order a lot. We won't penalize you
for placing that really big order.
As long as all of your SmartPaks ship to the same address on the same day, you'll
never pay more than $6.95 for shipping. And you can throw in a few saddles, bridles,
dog toys or bags of dog food too!
Rates this good only apply within the continental United States on ground shipments.
Expedited Shipping:
Expedited shipping is available for all in stock items. Expedited shipping is not
available for items that are on backorder. Prices are figured using the current
UPS rate based on the weight of the order. Orders placed by 2 pm EST Monday – Friday
will be shipped out same day, pending credit card authorization. Any order placed
after 2 pm Monday – Friday EST will be shipped next business day. Orders placed
over a weekend will be shipped the following Monday. Delivery times do not include
weekend days or holidays. Saturday deliveries are available in some areas for an
increased shipping charge with Next Day Air shipping only. If interested in a Saturday
delivery, please contact us at 1-800-326-0282. All other expedited shipping methods
can be selected on our website.
For all expedited deliveries UPS is responsible for delivering the package on time.
Certain circumstances can arise where UPS is unable to deliver expedites on time
due to weather, remoteness of location, etc. All efforts will be made by SmartPak
to ensure that packages arrive on time as ordered, but we cannot guarantee that
UPS will always act accordingly. In particular, orders indicated for Saturday delivery
cannot be guaranteed.
We strongly recommend that if the order is for a particular health emergency, customers
should seek immediate assistance from their vet. If a UPS expedited delivery fails
to arrive on time as ordered, SmartPak will refund the additional shipping charges
incurred.
Shipping Schedule:
We produce and ship your first order of custom SmartPaks within 24 hours of receiving
your completed order. Your second delivery of SmartPaks arrives exactly 21 days

SmartPak Order Billing
We produce and ship your first order of custom SmartPaks within 24 hours of receiving
your completed order. Your second delivery of SmartPaks arrives exactly 21 days
after your first order to establish a one week overlap, ensuring that you won't
run out. After your second delivery, your order arrives every 28 days. Each order
of SmartPaks that you receive contains a 28 day supply; 28 individual SmartPaks.
Our goal is to make sure you never worry about running out. One way we do that is
by shipping your second order out 21 days after your first order to create the one
week overlap. The second way we ensure you never run out is to produce your subsequent
orders up to one week before they ship. Because each set of SmartPaks is a custom
order we process the credit card before we create the SmartPaks. So your card is
charged 7 days before the second order ships, and so forth. Likewise, between the
first time your card is charged and the second, there is usually only about 14 days,
and from then on out it is a 28 day cycle.
Sales Tax: Massachusetts residents will pay applicable sales tax for all purchases.
Order Delivery
All new orders placed during the week are shipped within 24 hours (no orders are
shipped on Saturday or Sunday so any orders placed after noon on Friday will go
out on Monday). Your shipping time will depend on what state you live in and what
shipping method has been selected . To determine the number of business days it
takes to ship to your state, please refer to our shipping shedule.
All orders are shipped via UPS. We are unable to ship to P.O. Boxes at this time.
For information on how to track an existing order, refer to the “ Reviewing and
Tracking Your Orders” section of the FAQ’s.
Arrival of second (and subsequent) shipment(s)
Your second delivery of SmartPaks arrives exactly 21 days after your first order
to establish a one week overlap, ensuring that you won’t run out. After your second
delivery, your order arrives every 28 days. Each order of SmartPaks that you receive
contains a 28 day supply; 28 individual SmartPaks.

Out of Stock
|
 |
At SmartPak we work hard to keep all of the products that we carry in stock! However,
from time to time products become Out of Stock due to a variety of circumstances.
Some items are so popular they just fly off the shelves! We appreciate your patience
in these situations. Out of Stock items can be purchased at any time,
delivery will just be delayed until the item is back in stock.
Out of Stock Notification
If a product is Out of Stock a notification will appear in red on the product’s
page on our website. This notification lists the specific item(s) that are Out of
Stock and their expected arrival date. For items that do not have an arrival date,
the information will simply say “Out of Stock”. For Out of Stock items that
have no expected arrival date listed, we have not yet received this information
from the manufacturer. Once we receive this information, it will be updated on the
site.
If there is more than one item in the order and some of the items are shipping because
they are in stock, an Out of Stock notice will be included along with the packing
slip.
If you’re ordering over the phone, your account manager will be sure to notify you
of an Out of Stock and any details associated with it.
If the order was placed via mail or fax and you do not have the benefit of seeing
the Out of Stock notice on the web or hearing it from the person taking the order
over the phone , you will get a phone call from a member of our account management
team, to notify you of any Out of Stock. If a phone number is not available or you
cannot be reached, a letter will be sent to your mailing address.
Out of Stock Notices
In the rare instance where a product has become Out of Stock after you ordered it
online, a SmartPak representative will contact you via phone or email to explain
the Out of Stock status and expected arrival date.
Changes in the Expected Arrival Dates
We understand that you are counting on receiving your order as quickly as possible!
If an expected date for an Out of Stock item changes by more than 5 business days,
we will send you an e-mail notification with the revised expected date. If there
is no valid e-mail address on file, a letter will be sent with the revised expected
date.
Canceling Out of Stock Item
You are welcome to cancel an Out of Stock item any time, as long as it has not
shipped from facility. You can cancel your Out of Stock online in your SmartPak
account or contact us by phone or email. If the item has not yet shipped, we will
simply cancel it from your account. Since the item was never processed to your account,
no refund is necessary. If the item has already shipped, you are welcome to send
it back to us for a refund, exchange or store credit.
Shipping Charges for Out of Stock
You will only be charged once for shipping on an Out of Stock item. For instance,
if you have ordered three items and one of them is Out of Stock, you will be charged
shipping for the products that ship right away and will not be charged shipping
again when the Out of Stock item ships.
Expedited Shipping for Out of Stock Products
You may expedite your Out of Stock item either by selecting expedited shipping
for your entire order, or by ordering the Out of Stock item under a separate name
(ie: instead of selecting ship to “ME,” type in the name “Out of Stock”.
Billing for Out of Stock
Out of Stock items are not processed to your account until they are shipped
from our facility. In the rare instance where a product has become Out of Stock
after being ordered, your account will be refunded for the item and reprocessed
when it has shipped.
