Customer Comment emailed to us by C. D.: "One big reason I like your catalog is its warmth. Let me explain. Several years ago when making my first Cat Claws purchase at Christmas time by phone (no email!), the person who took my order was wonderful. We were talking about catalog shopping, and I mentioned I had lost the phone number to a catalog I wanted to order from. It wasn't pet-related -- clothes or something. She said, "Oh, I think I have that one" and provided me with the 800 number. What service! She made me feel like she was someone I knew, and I loved that 'homey' feeling I got about your company."

RETURNS:
If you need to return an item for a refund or exchange, please do so within 45 days. We will refund your purchase price. Ship the item back to us using the least expensive method available.

Customer Comment from P.S., Boxborough, Massachusetts: "I'm impressed with the great customer service you're providing! ... so many people seem to ignore customer emails! ...

If you just placed your order and forgot to put a desired item in your cart, contact us by phone or email immediately, and we will gladly add it on for you.

Please contact us promptly, before your order ships!

When will I get my shipment?

Standard delivery of in-stock items is 2 to 3 weeks, or 10 to 14 business days. Orders are not shipped on Saturdays and Sundays. Holidays and weekends are not counted as "business days."

Most packages arrive well within this stated delivery time, but you have to allow the full delivery time before the shipment is classified as "late."

Packages are shipped through a variety of carriers. We send packages through the US Post Office and Federal Express (and sometimes UPS). Delivery time will vary somewhat depending on the carrier, the destination, and the size/shape of the package.

When your order is packed in our warehouse, the selection of the carrier is made by our warehouse personnel, based on the size, weight, and destination of the package.

SEE ALSO: Can I get "Express" delivery?

I received one of my packages, but I'm still waiting on the rest of my order.

A small order consisting of two or three light-weight items is usually shipped in a couple of brown envelopes. If your entire order consists of one or two Scratching Pads, plus a toy or two, we send the Scratching Pads separately, each with your address label affixed, and we send any accompanying small items in a brown envelope.

Even if the packages were shipped separately, they all leave our warehouse on the same date, provided no items were on back-order. However, it is not unusual for the envelopes to arrive days apart. If you look on the outside of your packages, you'll see a sticker stating the number of separate packages that made up the whole shipment. Also, you can read your packing list for helpful information.

If an item was on back-order, this will be noted on your packing slip. The back-ordered items will be sent to you as soon as they are available for shipping, and you don't have to resubmit an order for a back-ordered item.

Our delivery time is stated as 2 to 3 weeks. Most packages will arrive before that, but you have to allow the full delivery time before the shipment is classified as late.

SEE ALSO: When will I get my shipment?

Something is missing from my order.

First, please check your packing slip for any notes we may have written, like "B-O," meaning "backordered." Also, look for a sticker on the outside of the package which may say, "This is package one of two."

Second, remember to rummage through the packing material (like shredded newspaper) that was used to protect your items during shipping. It often happens that customers overlook an item which was hidden within the packing material.

If it looks like we've made an error in packing your order, please call us or email us, and we will investigate.

I've been waiting a while, and I still don't have my order.

If you have waited our full stated delivery time (SEE ALSO When will I get my shipment?), and you still have not received your order, please try the following tips which have helped lots of customers:

• Call your own local post office. Many times, we have asked customers to do this, and it will turn out that their package has been waiting for them at their post office -- in spite of the fact that no postcard was put into their mailboxes to notify them of this.

• Look on your back porch -- or on your front porch. It's happened before that Fed Ex or UPS will drop off a box at a customer's front door, but the box is never noticed because the homeowner uses only the side door or back door of the house!

• If you live in an apartment complex, please contact your apartment manager or the front office desk. Sometimes, a package will sit for days, unclaimed and undelivered, if the office manager doesn't make an effort to contact the recipient of the package. If these tips don't help you locate your order, please call us or email us so we can investigate the matter for you.

I received a wrong item.

Did we make a mistake in packing your order? For example, if you received the "Mango Wipes" when we ought to have shipped the "Relief Wipes," then please call or email us right away with the details of the problem so that we can correct our error.

If you ordered the item in error, and if you wish to return it to us for a refund or exchange, please re-pack the item and send it back with a copy of one of your packing slips. If you ordered the item in error, you would be responsible for the shipping cost to return the item.
