Order Acceptance Policy

Your receipt of an electronic or other form of order confirmation does not signify our acceptance of your order, not does it constitute confirmation of our offer to sell. Cats Paw Soapery & Sentiments reserves the right at any time after receipt of your order to accept or decline your order for any reason or to supply less than the quantity you ordered of any item.


Cancellation/Refund Policy

We will never ship you an item that falls short of our high standards for craftsmanship. However, we do stand behind our products and want to delight with your purchase. Fulfillment mistakes that may be made which result in the shipment of incorrect products to you will also be accepted for return at our expense.

Product damage occurring in shipping must be claimed through the shipping company.   

Due to the intimate nature of bath and body products we do not accept returns on those items - this includes soap, hair & skin care items, body care items, salves and oils, and bath products. Returned food products must be sealed, unopened with all packaging/wrap intact and unbroken. Handcrafted items must be unworn, unused, tags and packaging intact and undamaged.

Returns must be authorized and once approved you will be given instruction on how to prepare the item for its return journey. There is a built in Return Merchandise Authorization module in www.catspawfarm.com for your convenience.

 We do not pay return shipping. Return shipping is the responsibility of the customer. Items that can be returned and are authorized for return will have original shipping deducted from the refund. Product which is not suitable for resale when received will not be refunded. 

 Once an order is in our system there is very little temporal margin for cancellation. Cancellations will be handled on a case by case basis.

 

Digital Products/Non-Tangible Products

CPSS sells digital products and services. These products and services require no shipping and are delivered immediately and electronically. Therefore there are No Refunds and No Returns on these products and services. 


Multiple Product Orders

For multiple product orders, we will make every attempt to ship all items contained in that order at the same time. Products that are unavailable at the time of shipping will be shipped as they become available or canceled if they will not be available in a timely manner.


Shipping

Most orders will ship within 1-3 business days, provided the product ordered is in stock. Orders are not processed or shipped on Saturday or Sunday, except by prior accepted arrangement.

Custom order/crafted-to-order products will take longer to ship.

We cannot guarantee when an order will arrive Consider any shipping or transit time offered to you by this Site, any CPSS representative or supplier, or any other party that may offer shipping or transit time only as an estimate. You are encouraged to order far enough head of when you require the product or service to avoid potential delays caused by shipping or product availability.

CPSS may at times offer Reduced Rate Shipping. The balance of Reduced Rate Shipping not paid by the user is contributed in full by CPSS with the service provider of CPSS's choice. CPSS reserves the right to select delivery service provider based on the best shipping method for the items in the specific order. Items accepted for return that were included in Reduced Rate Shipping will have the fully shipping amount deducted from the refunded amount. In the case of a partial return the deducted amount will be pro-rated based on the weigh of the entire order verses the authorized returned item.
