Shipping & Returns

To minimize wrong orders and exchanging extensions later, please make sure you measure the area you want to install the gate, contact us if you need help finding the right gate for the width you require.

General Shipping

At babyandpetgates.com, all shipments within the contiguous USA are free.  Generally, orders placed with us will leave our warehouse within one business day.  Occasionally, due to unforeseen circumstances, an order will take up to three days to ship.  If this happens we will be sure to contact you and let you know when your item will ship.  Although your item may ship out immediately it may take longer than that to receive your tracking number.  Tracking numbers will be sent you via email as soon as that information becomes available to us.  Generally we will ship all orders via Fedex or UPS ground shipping.  We reserve the right to use any carrier.

International Shipping

Unfortunately, we do not offer international shipping at this time.

Damages & Exchanges

Your satisfaction is our top priority. We sell only the finest quality products from reputable manufacturers, so we rarely have problems with any of our products. But if your item is damaged or defective in some way, we’ll make sure you’re taken care of.  Most of our products are backed by a manufacturer’s warranty. If your item has a defect, please contact the manufacturer as instructed in the paperwork that came with the product. If you need help contacting the manufacturer, feel free to contact us.  If your product was damaged during shipping, contact us and we’ll help you get the replacement parts you need or arrange for total replacement of the product at no cost to you.

Returns

Please find your specific situation from the list of scenarios below to learn how we handle that particular situation:

1. You decided to cancel your order

If the order hasn’t been shipped out yet, we can cancel the order and issue you a refund with no penalty. If you do not cancel the order until after it has already been shipped, your situation will be handled according to situation 5 below.

2. You received the product but the product is not working correctly, is missing parts, or is visibly damaged or deformed

If the item isn’t working correctly, and it does not appear to have been damaged during shipping, please see the paperwork that came in the original box for instructions on how to file a warranty claim with the manufacturer. The manufacturer is responsible for any manufacturing defects or deficiencies with its products. (If the item is damaged or defective due to shipping damages, please see situation 3 directly below.)

3. You received an item that appears to have been damaged during shipping

If a package appears to have been damaged during shipping, the item is oftentimes still okay.  If the packaging for your item appears to be damaged, be sure to keep all the original packaging until you’ve determined whether or not a shipping insurance claim needs to be submitted. If any of the original packaging is thrown away, we cannot file a shipping insurance claim. Discarding shipping materials or box contents waves your right to get your product replaced or repaired. Before contacting us, please test the item’s functionality. If everything works okay, there is no reason to contact us or file a shipping damage claim. If your product is not working correctly due to the damages that occurred during shipping and you have kept the original shipping materials, please contact us so that we may submit a shipping insurance claim. Once we have confirmed that you still have the original shipping materials and that the item was damaged during shipping, and after we have officially filed the shipping insurance claim forms, we will send out new parts or a new product at no cost to you.

4. You’ve received the product but you’ve decided you want to return it

If you receive an item and decide to return it, you can do so if and only if all of the following requirements are met:

For DYNAMIC ACCENTS products:

1) The item must be unused, and still in the original packaging along with any paperwork that may have come with it.

2) You must contact us to notify us that you’d like to return the item WITHIN 5 CALENDAR DAYS of receiving the item.

3) You MUST contact us to get an RMA Number and return instructions PRIOR to returning the item. Once we have sent you the return instructions you have two weeks to ship the item.

For ALL OTHER BRAND products:

1) The item must be unused, and still in the original packaging along with any paperwork that may have come with it.

2) You must contact us to notify us that you’d like to return the item WITHIN 30 CALENDAR DAYS of receiving the item.

3) You MUST contact us to get an RMA Number and return instructions PRIOR to returning the item. Once we have sent you the return instructions you have two weeks to ship the item.

If you return an item without all three of the above requirements being met, the item will be refused and come back to you and no refund will be issued.  If you meet all three of the above requirements, your refund will be issued in full once we have confirmed receipt of your return. Please note we must receive the returned shipment tracking numbers from you in order to be able to confirm receipt of your return.

You are responsible for return shipping charges to return the product to us.

There is a 15% restocking and return processing fee on all returns.

5. You refuse the delivery of your order, and it comes back to us

If you refuse an item and it comes back to us, you will be issued a full refund minus the once we are in receipt of the item, minus the 15% restocking fee.  If the item is damaged during the shipping process, no refund will be issued until the shipping insurance claim process is complete. Once the shipping claim process is complete, you will be issued a refund in the amount we are reimbursed by the shipping company (minus the amount the shipping company charges us for the shipment to you and back to us). If the shipping company does not approve the claim, we are unable to provide a refund.
