Shipping & returns policy

Products purchased from an authorized Cranimals retailer can be returned to original point of purchase, e.g. brick and mortar retail store. We do not accept returns for product made through other online retailers or any unauthorized resellers, e.g. Amazon.   Be aware that most brick and mortar retailers require receipt and/or proof of purchase for product to be eligible for return.   *Please be aware, store refund policies may vary by store. Not all return policies are the same. Cranimals cannot be responsible for individual retailer's return policies.

Missing Orders, Tracking notifications and order delivery -UPDATE

You will receive a shipping update via text message when you order package is in transit. At each stage of the delivery you will receive an update from us. When your parcel is about to deliver and actually "Out for Delivery" / on the delivery vehicle you will also receive a text message. Please ensure that someone is home to receive your package and prevent it being stolen from your front door or porch. Due to recent events, including Covid-19, carriers no longer offer "delivery with signature" therefore we are sending SMS/text messages as a substitute. If your package is stolen or lost after delivery, we can not be held liable. If you will not be home when your package is about to deliver, please arrange for a neighbour to collect it from your porch or front door for safekeeping until you arrive home.
