We are a small company with a big commitment to our customers, and we want to assure you that your satisfaction remains our top priority. We take your feedback seriously, and it has led us to make some updates to our return policy.

PRODUCT DEFECTS & DAMAGED PACKAGES:

We allow three days from the date of delivery to notify us if there is any type of defect with a product or if the package it was in was damaged in transit. If we aren’t notified of defects or damages within the three-day window, it is understood that the package and products were in good condition upon delivery.

SATISFACTION GUARANTEED:

“Satisfaction guaranteed” applies to your first order only; however, if there is an issue with a subsequent order we will do everything in our power to rectify it.

We do not refund shipping costs.

EXPEDITED SHIPPING:

We offer expedited shipping as a courtesy to our customers. The cost of expedited shipping is non-refundable (even if you return the product).

RETURNS:

Customer is responsible for paying for return shipping.

SUBSCRIPTION RETURNS:

In the event that you have subscribed to our autoship service and have received several renewal orders, we will refund one unopened container if it is returned within 30 days of the renewal order date.

NOTE: Refunds/returns are designed for new customers or products that are not satisfactory.

PETS THAT HAVE PASSED AWAY:

If your pet has passed away, we will accept one unopened order of our product for a full refund.

 WHOLESALE PAYMENTS:

  • If Credit Card is the only means by which a customer can pay for a wholesale order, please contact us to arrange for payment, a 5% processing fee may apply. 
  • Primary method for payments on wholesale orders are check, e-check, money order or wire transfer

LOST PACKAGES: If a package gets lost in transit (very rare, though it does happen), BlackMountain Botanicals, Inc. will not be responsible if the tracking information says the package was “delivered,”  which means U.S. Postal Service or the courier service successfully delivered the package to the specified address.  If the tracking information says delivered, yet it’s lost anyway, we ask that you check with housemates or family to see if they received the package without telling the intended recipient. This scenario happens fairly often. 

PACKAGE SENT TO WRONG ADDRESS: If a package is sent to the wrong address, and the incorrect address was provided online by a customer, then the customer is responsible for the cost of re-shipping the item. We will re-ship the order once the original package has been returned to us. So please, when ordering, make sure your shipping address is accurate, as making any mistake could significantly delay the delivery.

When placing an order over the phone, we will read the delivery address (and other information you provide) aloud to help you be sure it is correct.

PRODUCT DEFECTS & DAMAGED PACKAGES: We allow three days from the date of delivery to notify us if there is any type of defect with a product or if the package it was in was damaged in transit. If we aren’t notified of defects or damages within the three-day window, it is understood that the package and products were in good condition upon delivery.
