Unless collected during checkout under a Delivered Duties Paid (DDP) option, the recipient/customer is considered the importer of record and is solely responsible for clearing any local customs charges.
2. LOST PARCELS & TRANSIT DAMAGE PROTECTION
We know how eagerly your pet awaits their package. Unlike standard carrier contracts that absolve retailers once goods reach the carrier, HiloPaw provides a direct replacement guarantee:
2.1 Lost in Transit
If a parcel is deemed lost by the courier (i.e., tracking has not updated for 15 consecutive business days, or the carrier officially declares it lost):
2.2 Damaged in Transit
If your package arrives physically damaged, crushed, punctured, or wet during transit:
-
HiloPaw will provide a complimentary brand-new replacement product.
-
Reporting Window: You must notify our support team within seven (7) calendar days of marked delivery.
-
Verification Required: Please email support@hilopaw.com with your Order ID, clear photos of the shipping label, outer box condition, and the damaged product inside.
3. 30-DAY RETURN POLICY
We want you and your furry companion to be completely happy with your purchase. HiloPaw offers a 30-Day Return Window from the date your package is marked as delivered by the carrier.
