Returns and Exchanges

When you receive your order please be sure to inspect your order at the time of delivery for any damages that may have occurred in transit before signing for and accepting delivery. Please take ample time inspecting the merchandise, signing for the delivery acknowledges that there was no damage during delivery and is your opportunity to ensure that you are pleased with the condition in which the merchandise arrived – that is our goal.

If you receive damaged merchandise, ie the shipment was left for you without requiring a signature, please save all packaging material and paperwork -- do not throw anything away! If you attempt to return the merchandise yourself, you jeopardize our chances of making a claim, and you may not receive credit for the return.

Always keep the paperwork and save all packaging that is included with your order in case you need to return the item. Also, save any emails you receive about you order, as they may provide important information.

Damaged returned items must be in their original packaging and in new condition without sign of wear or use, or they will be rejected.

All Full Priced Orders may be returned by mail to the address below within 14 days plus shipping time of receiving your order on full priced items, and 7 days plus shipping time for sale items. Returns received after 14/7 days plus shipping time will not be shipped back, and a store credit of the item's current selling price will be issued. Without a receipt, store credit is issued for the current product price if the tags are attached. If the tags have been removed a $5 restocking fee will be charged for each item. Shoes can be returned provided that they have not been worn.

If you are concerned about the return not arriving within the 14/7 day period please email us at Customer Service or call 877-8467589 x16 or x17 to let us know that the package is on the way.

We do not require you to obtain a RMA or return number, only that the return arrives in "new" condition with the tags still attached. Please note that in order for shoes to be returned they must have only been worn on a clean surface indoors so that the bottoms are still in new condition. All returns must include:

• a copy of your receipt
• a completed Return Order Form
• Original shipping and manufacturer's packaging. If the packaging is no longer available a $10 restocking fee will be applied to the return.

Shipping your order back to us

Once we receive your return we will reimburse you the price of your return minus the cost of the UPS label.

We cannot be responsible for your package until it is signed for by our staff. We HIGHLY recommend you insure your package... ESPECIALLY if you decide to return it via a method that cannot be tracked. We cannot help track packages until they arrive and have been signed for.

Exchanges

If you are exchanging an item online you must place a new order. Exchanges may also be made at any of our 8 store locations for full credit, with the tags attached and accompanied by the receipt within 14 days. After 14 days, even with receipt, items may be returned, and the sale price will apply (when applicable). Store credit is given for the current product price if the tags are attached and you have the receipt.

• Manufacturer's Warranty Claims
  We take the worry out of claims and exchanges, you can simply send your items back to us. Some vendors require that you handle all warranty exchanges directly through them.  Please contact these vendors directly, if your item is made by them:
  
  • Native Eyewear
  • Rainbow Sandals

Special Attention Return Items
Unfortunately, due to the nature of some products, and concerns for personal hygiene, no returns or exchanges can be made on underwear. In order for us to except returns on Bathing Suits, Bathing suits must be in brand new condition with the tags and hygiene strip still attached. Shoes can be exchanged or returned provided that they have not been worn. All purchases of load bearing climbing equipment such as a harness or carabiner are a final sale and non-returnable by law.

Troubleshooting Orders

What Is An Offline Order?
In the event that we cannot verify that the billing address, phone number, and email that you've provided match the information the bank has associated with the form of payment that you're using, your order will be sent offline. An offline order is a result of our Credit Card Security system red-flagging your order due to some sort of discrepancy.

Did I Get Charged?
A common misconception when dealing with an offline order is that the customer is being charged, but not receiving product. If for some reason you have received an email indicating that your order cannot be processed due to invalid Credit Card information, but yet your bank account is showing a charge please do not worry. There actually is no charge to your account, but rather a hold on the funds you were trying to use to purchase the product. The hold will be lifted once the validity of the Credit Card is established, or the order is cancelled.

What Do I Do Next?
If you receive an email explaining that your order has been sent offline, please do not despair. More times than not it is simply user error when entering your check-out information. You can either try to place a secondary order through our website, or you can just give us a call so we can make sure everything is being entered correctly. Please be advised that for every order that you place, there will be a hold for the price of that item put towards your account.
