Shipping Damage & Package Issues

Set-N-Me-Free Aloe Vera Company takes the utmost care in packing shipments to ensure that all orders arrive in excellent condition. Our packing procedures are regularly inspected by UPS. However, no matter how great the precautions taken, shipments can occasionally arrive in less than desirable conditions.

What to Do If Your Package Arrives Damaged

  1. Inspect the package immediately upon delivery and before the carrier leaves if possible
  2. Document any visible damage by taking photographs of the damaged packaging and products
  3. Keep all original packaging materials, boxes, and damaged items - this is critical for claim processing
  4. Report damaged items to Set-N-Me-Free within 5 business days of delivery by calling (503) 666-9661 or emailing orders@set-n-me-free.com

Important: Even if there is no visible damage to the package, please contact us before disposing of the box(es) if you discover damaged products inside. UPS and other carriers frequently require inspection of the damaged items and packaging before processing damage claims.

Missing Items

If there are items listed on your invoice that are not in your shipment:

  1. First, check with the person who opened the box to see if they removed anything before it was checked
  2. Thoroughly check the packing materials for small items
  3. Contact us with your order number and details about the missing items

Our warehouse has inspection processes throughout order fulfillment, but we recognize that mistakes can occasionally happen. Please have your packing slip/invoice with the account number ready when you contact us for fastest service.

Return Policy

We want you to be completely satisfied with your purchase. If you're not entirely satisfied, we're here to help.

Return Eligibility

  • Products must be returned within 45 days of leaving our warehouse
  • Items must be in original, unused condition with all original packaging and materials
  • Custom-blended or specially formulated products are not eligible for return unless defective
  • Products that have been opened or used are not eligible for return unless defective
  • Sale or clearance items marked as "final sale" are not eligible for return

Return Process

  1. Contact our customer service team at (503) 666-9661 or returns@set-n-me-free.com to request a Return Authorization (RA#)
  2. Provide your order number, the items you wish to return, and the reason for return
  3. Our team will email you a return service tag with your RA# and return instructions
  4. Package your return securely, including the RA# on the outside of the package
  5. Ship your return using a trackable shipping service

Note: Do not use newspaper to pack products as it leaves ink on containers. We recommend using the original packaging when possible or clean packing materials.

Refund Process

Once we receive and inspect your return, we will notify you of the status of your refund:

  • For approved returns due to our error: Full refund including original shipping costs
  • For customer preference returns: Refund of product price minus a 15% restocking fee

Return Shipping

The customer is responsible for return shipping costs, except in cases where the return is due to our error (damaged product, wrong item shipped, etc.).

Exchanges

If you would like to exchange an item rather than return it for a refund, please indicate this when requesting your RA#. We can process exchanges for the same product in different sizes or for different products of equal value.

Special Orders and COD Policy

Special Orders

Custom-blended products and special orders may require prepayment and are subject to different return policies. Please consult with your sales representative for specific terms related to special orders.

COD Shipments

For customers using COD (Cash On Delivery) payment method:

  • If a COD shipment is refused or returned because funds are not available within 3 delivery attempts, the original freight, COD fee, and return freight must be paid before any additional orders can be shipped
  • After a refused COD shipment, future shipments will be placed on prepay status
  • COD fees are determined by the carrier and will be added to your order total
