Shipping Policy

Order Processing

Orders are typically processed and prepared for shipment within several business days of being placed. You'll receive a tracking number via email once your order ships!

Delivery Timeframes

Shipping times are estimates only and may vary based on:

• Your location and distance from our fulfillment centers
• Carrier delays due to weather, holidays, or high volume
• Customs processing (for international orders)
• Order volume and inventory availability

Business Days

Shipping estimates are calculated in business days (Monday-Friday), excluding weekends and holidays.

How to Track Your Order

1. Check your email for a shipping confirmation with tracking number
2. Visit: teamk9.aftership.com
3. Enter your order number or tracking number
4. View real-time updates and estimated delivery

When Will I Get My Tracking Number?

You'll receive your tracking number via email once your order is processed and shipped. If you don't see it, check your spam folder!

Tracking Not Updating?

Sometimes tracking can take 24-72 hours to show initial movement after the label is created. This is normal! The carrier has your package and will update tracking once it's scanned at their facilities.

Items May Ship Separately

To get your order to you as fast as possible, we often ship items from multiple warehouses. This means:

• ✅ Multiple tracking numbers - one for each package
• ✅ Different arrival dates - packages may arrive on different days
• ✅ Faster delivery - items ship from the closest warehouse

Custom Patches

Custom patches ship separately from harnesses because they're made-to-order. They may arrive a few days after your main order.

Manufacturing & Fulfillment

All Team K9 products are manufactured in China and primarily fulfilled from our U.S. warehouses:

• 📍 Chicago, Illinois
• 📍 California

International Fulfillment

When U.S. inventory is low, we occasionally ship directly from our manufacturing partners in China to speed up delivery - at no extra cost to you!

This means you might receive packages from international locations, but you'll still get the same quality Team K9 products and customer service.

Optional Protection

Available at checkout - protect your order against:

• 📦 Lost packages
• 🚨 Stolen packages (porch piracy)
• 💔 Damaged in transit
