Delivery

Order processing times can be found in the topbar of the Whiptails website when you place your order, please bare in mind that times are approximates and not a guarantee – Whiptails is run entirely by one person; if for any reason your order is expected to take considerably longer than the expected times (due to unexpected set backs like sickness & emergencies ) you will be contacted via e-mail with an updated completion date.

You can choose between Royal Mail’s 1st or 2nd class delivery for orders being delivered within the United Kingdom. All international orders are shipped by Royal Mail International Tracked, I will send you an email with your order tracking number when your order has been dispatched.

Please be aware that orders outside the UK may receive an additional customs fee – rates will depend on the country you are importing Whiptails apparel into. Please check this for your local area before making a purchase; you will be asked to pay any fees due by your customs office before an attempt is made to deliver your parcel.

Returns + Cancellation Policy

Returns & Cancellations

Cancellations

If you would like to cancel your order with me, for whatever reason, please get in touch at contact@whiptails.co.uk within 14 days of placing your order.

Returns

If you’d like to make a return, email me within 14 days of receiving your parcel and let me know that you’d like to make a return and if you would like a refund or exchange. Orders must be sent back in resalable condition, unused, unwashed, and postmarked within 30 days of receiving your order. Returns should be made in your order’s original packaging and must include a copy of your invoice for identification. When I receive your returned items, you will be notified by email within 5 working days to confirm.

Refunds and exchanges are accepted on made-to-order items from the Whiptails size charts that are unused and unworn, however, you the customer are responsible for the delivery costs.
You can try on your dog’s clothing when it arrives to check the size but do not leave your dog to lounge in it or use it if you need to make a return. Returned items must be sent back in resellable condition, please remove any dog hair before returning – I recommend using sticky tape to catch excess hair . Items returned with excess hair will be accepted, but you will receive back 90% of the items total, accounting for a cleaning fee of 10%. 

Items will be inspected when they are returned to Whiptails. Garments that show signs of wear or washing will not be accepted, if you would like the item returned back to you, you must cover the postage costs to receive it. 

Exchanges 

Exchanges can be made for a more suitable size. If the price is lower for a smaller size you will be refunded the difference in cost, and if you are sizing up or ordering a made-to-measure item you may be asked to pay extra to make up the difference in cost to make an exchange for that product.
Exchanges are fast-tracked and processed within 10 working days during busy periods where order processing times exceed this. 

Refunds

Upon receiving your return and checking its condition, your return will be processed. Please allow up to 5 working days from the date your return is received for it to be processed. Once your refund has been made it can take up to 10 days to appear on your card statement. 

A full refund including delivery fees is available for faulty items or where you have been sent the wrong item.  If your order is faulty or damaged you will be required to provide photographic evidence of the damage, then you will receive a full refund on your order. If you have received the wrong item, it can be changed to the correct item or returned for a full refund. Whiptails will pay for your return postage (second class UK, international tracked outwith the UK)

I strongly recommend that you get proof of postage with your return, Whiptails do not take responsibility for items lost or damaged during transit.  

Made-to-measure Returns

All sales on custom, made-to-measure items are final, returns are not accepted. In the unlikely but unfortunate event your garment does not fit, it can be returned to me to be altered and sent back without extra fees to you. You will be asked for photo evidence that the garment does not fit your dog.

Please note that there can be changes in the appearance of colour between monitors and devices. Whiptails images are colour-corrected to give the best match to the true colour of items. Items cannot be returned as faulty for differences in colour or fit.
