Payment is accepted via MasterCard, Visa, Discover, American Express, PayPal, money order, or personal check.
All prices are listed in US funds, and payment is required in US funds.
In-stock product orders, including Bunny Abode condos, are shipped within 72 hours of receipt of the paid in full order; often orders will ship the same business day!
Checks returned by your bank for any reason will be subject to a $25 fee. Returned checks unpaid for seven days will be turned over to a collection agency. Future orders will be required to be prepaid by credit card, money order or cashiers check only.
Please bring any problems with your order (incorrect product, missing product, incorrect price, etc.) to our attention immediately.

Shipping

Carefully consider shipping time frames! The anticipated date you will receive your order is determined by a number of elements. Please consider carefully.

Our office hours are Monday thru Friday 9 am -3 pm Pacific Standard Time (PST). We are here earlier and later, but will be in the shop and unavailable. While we work hard to ship your order within 24 hours, a variety of issues can impact that such as supply deliveries, weather, Internet connectivity and the general human condition. As a general rule, we ship within 72 hours, or three business days.

Your package then enters what is called "shipping time in transit." UPS's delivery times begin when the UPS driver scans in your package. All time in transit periods are expressed in BUSINESS DAYS, or Monday thru Friday. This means if you select Next Day Air for a package that we ship on Friday, it would be delivered on Monday.

And, during busy shipping seasons such as the holidays, UPS may require more time in transit than normal.

Our location is in Turner, Oregon. You can find your standard "days in transit" period by checking this UPS map. Be aware that if you are already within a 3 day delivery location, selecting "3 Day Select" will not result in any faster service!

So please, plan ahead! Allow plenty of time for delivery of your items. However, if you need it yesterday, give us a call to see if we've completed the time travel option. If we haven't, we can at least try. It bears repeating: please plan ahead.

If you wish to visit our physical location in Turner, Oregon to pick up your order, you may do so! Simply call or place your order online, and let us know when you will arrive. Please note hours for order pickup are 9am - 3pm Monday - Friday. You must allow at least a one hour lead time for us to prepare your order if placed mid-day.

If you have any questions or concerns, simply contact us by phone (800) 956-3576 or email to info@leithpetwerks.com.

International Shipping
Boxes containing Bunny Abode House Rabbit Condos are large, and they are heavy. This results in some very expensive shipping costs when the destination is outside of the continental United States or Canada. However, we have shipped many condos and supplies to Australia, England, Singapore, Hong Kong and elsewhere and will be glad to do so for you.

We will be glad to ship your order to you outside of the continental United States and Canada by sending your order to a US based freight forwarding company of your choice. Please contact us if you wish to order for delivery outside of the US or Canada.

The customer is responsible for all shipping charges, and all import fees and duties. Shipping charges and all import fees and duties are NOT refundable. PLEASE contact your customs agency if you need an estimation of taxes and duties that your government will charge you for importing items.

We repeat: The customer is responsible for all shipping charges, and all import fees and duties. Shipping charges and all import fees and duties are NOT refundable. PLEASE contact your customs agency if you need an estimation of taxes and duties that your government will charge you for importing items.

If you have an issue with the currency exchange rate, or the taxes and duties your country charges you, please contact your customs agency and raise your concern. We have NOTHING to do with these fees, we do not receive any funds from them, and we cannot change how much is charged.

Canadian customers: All shipments to Canada are likely to attract customs duty. Any such duties and taxes are charged once the shipment has reached you and these charges must be paid by the recipient of the shipment. Unfortunately, we have no control over these charges. If you have any questions related to customs charges, you are advised to contact your local customs office. If possible, you may want to consider shipping the order to a friend on the US side of the border, then picking the item up from them in order to reduce costs (this tip was suggested by a customer).

Cancellations

We understand that sometimes things change, and you may need to cancel an order you have placed. You may do so by calling or sending us an e-mail. Please include your name and order number when contacting us.
Orders that are canceled before shipment will be assessed a 10% order cancellation fee. The balance will be refunded via business check. [Why?]
Orders cannot be canceled after they have been shipped. See our Returns section below.
When canceling your order, please be frank as to whether there was a problem. Was there something we didn't do, or did do, which affected your desire to order from us? We are always looking for ways to better serve our customers, and your direct feedback is appreciated!
