Policies & Returns
“Do the right thing. It will gratify some people and astonish the rest.”
– MARK TWAIN
Returns/Refund Policy
If a customer places an order, then cancels it before it is shipped there will be a $25.00 deduction from refund to cover the Merchant Processing Fee that the seller has already been charged and to cover the Refund Fee the seller will be charged.
We have only had a very few cats not take to using the cabinet. But, if you or your cat is not completely satisfied with your Out of Sight Litter Box® you may return it after receipt for a refund of the purchase price less a 20% return fee. Returns are donated to local no-kill shelters. Return request contact must be made before 30 days from delivery date, you will get a Return Authorization Number (RA#) during that contact. You will then be emailed a Stacking/Repackaging Page showing you how to get all the panels back into the original shipping box correctly. Use lots of 2 inch wide packaging tape to hold the box top and bottom together, like the plastic strapping that originally held the box closed.
All product items must be returned in their “original” condition. By “original” we understand that the cardboard shipping box will be opened, the hardware pack will be opened, and that pilot holes will have been used during assembly, “original” means no modification or damage to panels. If your cat(s) “misses” inside the cabinet we strongly suggest that you clean up that “miss” as soon as possible – within hours (not days) – we have tested the panel saturation limits and they withstand hours, (not days) of misses. Plenty of time for proper clean up. We require the original engineered shipping box and packaging to be used to protect the panels from damage during return shipping. We will email a stacking/packaging order page so you can get all the panels and filler foam to fit correctly back in to the box. Also, please return the instructions.
PLEASE, make sure the cabinet panels are clean. we repeat, clean! Returned products that are soiled will result in an additional $50 cleaning charge deducted from your refund. Cost of return shipping, including insurance is the responsibility of the customer. We recommend using FedEx, they have lower rates and handle packages with more care. Your return shipping cost may be at least $95 on the East Coast to $120 or more on the West Coast. FYI: FedEx and USP “Store Fronts” add a handing fee to the shipping cost. It is better to find a direct drop off station.
Product returned without shipping prepaid and or without a Return Authorization Number (RA#) will be charged a 25% return fee and the total shipping costs for both ways, to the customer and return costs deducted from refund.
High-SiderTM Litter Boxes are not returnable and so non-refundable.
Canceled Orders/Refused At Delivery
When making your decision to order, please understand, why we have to post the following policies, we are a small company and profit margins are low so we can not “absorb” the costs of an order that has already been shipped, and can not resell a product that has been shipped and returned.
If you place an order, and decide you want to cancel that order, cancelation needs to be done ASAP after placing that order. We try to ship out orders quickly after the order has been placed. Most customers don’t like to wait. If a customer places an order, then cancels it before it is shipped there will be a $25.00 deduction from refund to cover the Merchant Processing Fee that the seller has already been charged and to cover the Refund Fee the seller will be charged. If you have to cancel an order that has already been shipped, the shipping costs, and a 25% return fee will be deducted from your refund.
Placed orders that are refused at delivery will be charged a 25% return fee and the shipping costs will also be deducted from your refund.

*We use the word “STOP(S)” to describe the difference (before to after) that the Out of Sight Litter Box® will have on your litter tracking issues. A legal definition might better be “will substantially reduce litter tracking by 98%”. You may find a few pieces of rogue litter here or there, but you will notice such a substantial difference that you too might use the word “Stopped” while telling your friends how the Out of Sight Litter Box® changed your litter tracking issues.
