Delivery Times-

If your order contains several items from various suppliers the items will be shipped from various locations and will have varied delivery times accordingly. All of these delivery details can be found by logging in to your account and viewing your order history. Delivery is typically between 5-10 working days from your order date, depending upon where it ships from.

*Contact us if you are worried about getting your shipment somewhere by a specific date. We do offer paid rush services on most goods.

Once each item has been fulfilled by the supplier, you will receive an email confirming your items are on their way. This email will include a tracking number allowing you to check the status of your order by logging in to your account and checking your order history page. 

Our suppliers are mostly shipping from the USA and will ship your items directly to you from their location so please know the arrival dates may vary depending upon where our supplier is shipping from and where you are having the items delivered.

RETURNS

Lessening our Footprint:
Give Back Goods primary goal is to ensure our customers are happy with their purchases. We also want to lessen our footprint on the earth and product returns utilize extra packaging and fuel causing extra waste and fuel which creates carbon monoxide emissions that are harmful to the environment. Also, returning goods to our suppliers from Give Back Goods takes much-needed income away from the bottom line of the important grass root causes that they support.

Because of this, we prefer returns and exchanges on damaged goods only. We vet each product before selling it on our site and make sure it is made well, but at times we know things can happen in fabrication or transit and we are happy to have you return them.
