Return Shipping & Freight Responsibility
Please note that return freight and carrier shipping costs are the sole responsibility of the customer for all returned items sent by mail, carrier, or freight.
- Customers must cover outbound and return shipping charges unless the return is due to an error on our part (e.g., incorrect item shipped or item damaged in transit).
- For items shipped under promotional “Free Shipping” offers, the actual outbound freight shipping cost incurred by Sierra Fish & Pets may be deducted from the final refund amount.
- We recommend using a trackable shipping service or purchasing shipping insurance for return shipments, as we cannot guarantee receipt of un-tracked returned items.
