1. Overview
Thank you for shopping with Cozy Hugs. We want you and your pet to be happy with your purchase.
This Returns & Refund Policy explains when products may be returned, how to request a return, who is responsible for return shipping, and how approved refunds are issued.
This policy applies to eligible products purchased directly from the Cozy Hugs website. Products purchased through another retailer or marketplace must generally be returned through the original seller and are subject to that seller’s return policy.
By placing an order through our website, you agree to this policy, our Terms of Service, and our Privacy Policy.
2. Return Period
You may request a return of an eligible product within 30 calendar days after the product is delivered.
A return request is considered timely when you contact us within the 30-day period. After we approve a return, the product must be shipped back within 14 calendar days unless we provide different instructions.
Returns requested after the 30-day period may be denied unless:
- The product is covered by an applicable written warranty;
- The product has a defect that was not reasonably discoverable during the return period; or
- Applicable law provides you with additional rights.
3. Return Eligibility Requirements
To qualify for a standard return, the product must generally be:
- Unused, unworn, unwashed, and free from pet hair, odors, stains, damage, or signs of use;
- In substantially the same condition in which it was received;
- Returned with its original packaging, tags, labels, manuals, accessories, and included components;
- Accompanied by a valid order number or other proof of purchase; and
- Returned only after receiving return authorization from Cozy Hugs.
We reserve the right to deny a return or reduce the refund where permitted by law if a product is returned used, damaged, incomplete, contaminated, or in a condition that materially reduces its value.
We do not charge a restocking fee for products that meet the requirements of this policy.
4. Products That Cannot Be Returned
For health, hygiene, safety, and customization reasons, the following products are not eligible for a change-of-mind return unless they arrived defective, damaged, incorrect, or applicable law requires otherwise:
- Opened food, treats, chews, supplements, or other consumable products;
- Products with a broken or removed hygiene or safety seal;
- Used pet bedding, blankets, apparel, grooming products, feeding products, or hygiene products;
- Products showing pet hair, saliva, odors, stains, bite marks, scratching, chewing, or other signs of use;
- Personalized, engraved, embroidered, monogrammed, or made-to-order products;
- Gift cards, promotional credits, and downloadable or digital products;
- Products identified as “Final Sale” before purchase; and
- Free gifts or promotional items that were not separately purchased.
An unopened consumable product may be eligible for return when its original safety seal and packaging remain completely intact.
5. Final-Sale and Discounted Products
A discounted or sale-priced product may be returned under the same conditions as a regularly priced product unless it was clearly identified as “Final Sale” before checkout.
Products marked Final Sale cannot be returned because of preference, sizing, color, or a change of mind. This restriction does not affect your rights when a product is defective, damaged, incorrectly described, or incorrectly supplied.
6. Damaged, Defective, or Incorrect Products
⚠️ Please inspect your order promptly after delivery.
If a product arrives damaged, defective, incomplete, or different from what you ordered, contact us as soon as reasonably possible and preferably within 7 calendar days after delivery.
Please include:
- Your order number;
- The name of the affected product;
- A description of the problem;
- Clear photographs of the product and damage or defect;
- Photographs of the shipping box and packaging when shipping damage occurred; and
- A photograph of the shipping label when the wrong order or product was delivered.
Do not discard the product, packaging, shipping box, or shipping label until we complete our review. The carrier may require these materials when investigating shipping damage.
When we confirm that a product was damaged, defective, incomplete, or incorrectly supplied, we may offer an appropriate:
- Replacement;
- Exchange;
- Repair, where appropriate;
- Partial refund, with your agreement; or
- Full refund.
Cozy Hugs will pay reasonable return-shipping expenses for an authorized return caused by our error or a confirmed defect or shipping-related damage.
The suggested seven-day reporting period helps us investigate carrier and fulfillment problems promptly. It does not eliminate any legal right or remedy that cannot lawfully be limited.
7. How to Request a Return
To start a return, email support@cozyhugs.com with the subject line “Return Request – Order #[Your Order Number]”.
Your message should include:
- Your full name;
- Your order number;
- The product or products you wish to return;
- The reason for the return; and
- Photographs when the product is damaged, defective, incorrect, or has another visible issue.
After reviewing your request, we will provide return instructions and, when applicable, a return authorization or prepaid shipping label.
Important: Do not mail a return to us without authorization. Products sent to an unauthorized address may be delayed, refused, or returned to the sender.
Returns must be sent to the address provided in our return instructions. The return address may differ from the address shown on the original package.
8. Return Shipping Costs
Change-of-Mind Returns
When a return is based on preference, sizing, color, duplicate ordering, or another reason that is not caused by a Cozy Hugs error, the customer is responsible for return-shipping costs.
Original shipping and delivery charges are not refundable for a change-of-mind return, except where required by applicable law.
Cozy Hugs Errors or Product Problems
Cozy Hugs will provide a prepaid return label or reimburse reasonable return-shipping expenses when we confirm that:
- The wrong product was delivered;
- The order was incomplete;
- The product arrived damaged;
- The product has a qualifying defect; or
- The return is required because of another Cozy Hugs error.
We will not reimburse expedited, premium, or unauthorized shipping expenses unless we approved those expenses in writing before shipment.
9. Packaging and Mailing Your Return
Please package the product securely to prevent damage in transit. When possible, use the original protective packaging.
Include the return authorization or requested identifying information inside the package. Do not write directly on retail product packaging unless instructed to do so.
For customer-paid returns, we strongly recommend using a trackable shipping service and retaining the shipping receipt and tracking number until the return is completed.
Cozy Hugs is not responsible for a customer-paid return that is lost, misdirected, or damaged before reaching the authorized return location, except where applicable law provides otherwise.
10. Return Inspection
After the returned product is delivered, we will inspect it to confirm:
- Its identity and connection to the applicable order;
- Whether it was returned within the permitted period;
- Its condition and completeness;
- Whether it meets the eligibility requirements; and
- Whether the reported defect, damage, or order error can be confirmed.
We will notify you when the return has been received and whether the refund has been approved, partially approved, or denied.
If a return is denied, we will explain the reason. Where practical, you may be given the option to have the product shipped back to you at your expense.
11. Refunds
Once an eligible return is received, inspected, and approved, we will initiate the refund within 7 business days.
Approved refunds are generally issued to the original payment method. We may use another method when:
- The original payment method is no longer available;
- The payment provider requires another method;
- The purchase was made using a gift card or store credit; or
- You agree to receive store credit or another refund method.
After we issue a refund, your bank, credit-card company, or payment provider may require additional time to post the funds to your account. Processing periods commonly vary by provider and are outside our direct control.
Contact us at support@cozyhugs.com if you have not received an approved refund after allowing a reasonable processing period.
12. Partial Refunds
Where permitted by law, only a partial refund may be approved when:
- A product has been used, washed, damaged, contaminated, or altered after delivery;
- Packaging, accessories, tags, manuals, or included components are missing;
- The product is returned outside the approved period without prior authorization;
- The product’s condition has materially reduced its resale value; or
- Only part of a bundled or promotional order is returned.
We will explain any proposed deduction. Nothing in this section permits us to reduce a refund because of damage, defects, or order errors for which Cozy Hugs is responsible.
13. Shipping-Charge Refunds
Original standard shipping charges will be refunded when the entire order is returned because:
- The order was materially incorrect;
- The products arrived damaged or defective;
- We instructed you to return the complete order because of our error; or
- Applicable law requires the shipping charge to be refunded.
Premium or expedited shipping charges are generally refundable only up to the cost of standard shipping unless the premium service was not provided or applicable law requires otherwise.
Original shipping charges are normally nonrefundable when an eligible product is returned because of preference, sizing, color, duplicate ordering, or a change of mind.
14. Promotional Discounts, Bundles, and Free Gifts
When a discount applies across multiple products, the refundable amount may be based on the discounted price allocated to the returned product rather than its regular retail price.
If returning part of a bundle causes the remaining products to no longer qualify for a bundle discount, the refund may be adjusted to reflect the price of the products you keep, where permitted by law.
A free promotional gift must be returned when the qualifying purchase is returned in full. If the gift is not returned, we may deduct its disclosed value from the refund where permitted by law.
15. Gift Cards and Store Credit
Gift cards and promotional store credits are not redeemable for cash except where required by law.
A purchase made with a gift card or store credit will generally be refunded to the same gift card or as replacement store credit.
When an order was paid using more than one payment method, the refund may be divided among those methods in proportion to the original payment.
16. Exchanges
For ordinary size, color, or preference changes, the fastest method is generally to return the eligible product for a refund and place a new order for the desired product.
We do not guarantee that a replacement size, color, design, or product will remain available while a return is being processed.
When a product is confirmed to be damaged, defective, incomplete, or incorrect, we may arrange a direct replacement or exchange when inventory is available.
If a replacement product has a different price, we will explain any additional payment or refund before completing the exchange.
17. Order Cancellations and Address Changes
To request an order cancellation or address change, contact support@cozyhugs.com as soon as possible.
We will make reasonable efforts to accommodate the request, but we cannot guarantee that an order can be canceled or changed after it enters processing, fulfillment, or shipment.
If an order has already shipped, it must generally be handled under the standard return process.
You are responsible for reviewing your order and delivery address before checkout. If a package is returned because an address was incomplete, incorrect, or undeliverable, the actual cost of reshipping may be charged before the order is sent again.
18. Refused and Unclaimed Deliveries
Refusing a delivery or failing to collect a package does not automatically cancel the order or guarantee a full refund.
If an unclaimed or refused package is returned to us, we will review it under this policy. Where permitted by law, actual return-carrier charges or other nonrefundable delivery expenses may be deducted when the refusal was not caused by damage, an incorrect product, or another Cozy Hugs error.
19. Missing or Stolen Packages
If tracking shows that a package has not been delivered, contact us so we can review the shipment and, when appropriate, open a carrier investigation.
If tracking shows that a package was delivered but you cannot locate it, please:
- Confirm the delivery address shown on your order;
- Check entrances, porches, mailrooms, parcel lockers, and other safe locations;
- Ask household members, neighbors, building staff, or reception personnel whether they accepted it;
- Allow a short period for an early delivery scan to update; and
- Contact the delivery carrier when appropriate.
Report a missing delivery to us promptly. We will review available tracking information and cooperate with reasonable carrier investigations. Replacement or refund eligibility will depend on the investigation, the circumstances of delivery, and applicable law.
20. Manufacturer Warranties
Some products may include a separate manufacturer warranty. A manufacturer warranty is governed by its own terms and may require a claim to be submitted directly to the manufacturer.
We will provide reasonable proof-of-purchase information when available. A manufacturer warranty does not reduce any right you may have against Cozy Hugs under applicable consumer law.
21. Pet Safety and Used Products
For the protection of customers, pets, and staff, products exposed to pet saliva, hair, waste, fleas, parasites, strong odors, or potentially contagious conditions cannot be accepted as ordinary returns.
If such a product is defective or caused a safety concern, do not continue using it. Contact us before disposing of the product or attempting to return it. We may request photographs, product markings, lot information, packaging, or other evidence so the issue can be evaluated safely.
Do not return a product contaminated with bodily fluids, hazardous substances, pests, or biological material unless we provide specific written handling instructions.
22. Consumer Rights
This policy provides contractual return options in addition to rights available under applicable law.
Nothing in this Returns & Refund Policy excludes, restricts, or replaces a warranty, refund, replacement, cancellation, charge-dispute, or other consumer right that cannot legally be excluded or limited.
Where applicable law gives you rights that are more favorable than this policy, the applicable legal rights will control.
23. Policy Abuse and Fraud
We may reject a return or take reasonable protective action when we have evidence of return fraud, altered receipts, product substitution, repeated abuse, false damage claims, unauthorized payment activity, or another material violation of our Terms of Service.
We will not deny a legitimate return solely because a customer has exercised a consumer right or submitted a good-faith complaint.
24. Changes to This Policy
We may update this Returns & Refund Policy to reflect changes to our products, operations, carriers, fulfillment practices, or legal obligations.
The latest version will be posted on this page with a revised “Last Updated” date.
The policy in effect when your order was accepted will generally apply to that order unless a later version provides you with more favorable terms or a change is required by law.
