Incorrect Shipping Addresses and Refused Delivery

We make every attempt to validate the shipping address provided at checkout to ensure it’s recognized as a valid address by the our shipping providers. If we cannot validate the address, we will try to contact the customer to provide an updated address. If we cannot update the address, the order will be canceled and refunded.

You will need to file a claim with the shipping carrier. We will replace or refund your order when the investigation is complete and we have received proof of the investigation from you. Allow up to 21 days for the investigation.

 

Returns/Refund Policy

Returns

Unfortunately, I am not able to accommodate returns. Due to the nature of my products, returns and exchanges are not accepted. 

Damages and issues
Port and Starbird is not liable for any products damaged or lost during shipping. If you received your order damaged, please file a claim with the shipment carrier. Save all packaging materials and damaged goods before filing a claim.

If you received the wrong product, or have any other issues, it must be reported within 3 days of the package being delivered with photographic evidence of the issues. 

Refunds
We will notify you once we’ve received and inspected your damage claim, and let you know if the refund was approved or not. If approved, we will ask if you prefer a replacement product or a refund. If you wish to receive a refund, the refund will go to your original payment method within 10 business days. Please remember it can take some time for your bank or credit card company to process and post the refund too.
