If a product is shipped in error, we will provide free return shipping and a full replacement or refund (whichever you prefer). Simply notify us of the problem within 48 hours of receiving your order through the My Orders page or email us at orders@frootbat.com.

On rare occasions we may face an unforeseen delay in shipping your order and in that case, we will notify you by email. All Shipping Carrier transit times are only in effect after your order is shipped. Depending on your location, the shipment can take anywhere from 1-5 business days additional in transit.
