SOLD OUT ITEMS
HOW IS IT POSSIBLE THAT AN ARTICLE I ADDED TO MY SHOPPING BAG, WAS SUDDENLY SOLD OUT WHEN I CAME TO THE CHECKOUT?
The moment you add an article to your shopping bag, it will be reserved for you. Unfortunately, there is a slight possibility that another customer buys the last article before you have arrived at the checkout. You can always get in touch with our customer service team about the availability of an article, and they will check this for you.
I RECEIVED AN EMAIL ABOUT AN ARTICLE NOT BEING IN STOCK, AFTER COMPLETING MY ORDER. HOW IS THAT POSSIBLE?
Sometimes, whilst we are putting your package together, it comes to our attention that some items you ordered are out of stock. This can happen when someone else orders the last item just moments before you did. Our stock levels are unable to make this notice within such a short period, and you were able to buy an article that was actually no longer in stock. Of course, we will make sure the amount you paid is refunded as quickly as possible.
WILL ITEMS THAT ARE SOLD OUT ON THE WEBSITE BE RESTOCKED?
We replenish our stock in the NEW PETS ON THE BLOCK webshop several times a month. In many cases, it is indeed possible that an item will be restocked after it has been sold out. We advise you to contact us at bark@newpetsontheblock.com in case you wish to inquire about the availability of a specific item.
SIZING
I AM NOT SURE ABOUT THE RIGHT ACCESSORY SIZE FOR MY PET, WHAT CAN I DO?
If you're not sure about what size your pet needs, please have a look at our FITTING ROOM. Here you can find a lot of useful tips on how to find the size and shape that is perfect for your pet. If you are still not sure or in doubt, please CONTACT us and we will be happy to help.
COUPON CODES
I RECEIVED A COUPON CODE, HOW DO I USE THIS?
To use a coupon code, you can fill in the code in the checkout under Discount. It is best to copy and paste the code so that no mistakes can be made with capital letters or spaces. After this, click the Apply button. Your discount will be immediately calculated and you can finish completing your order.
Coupon codes can only be used once, so please make sure to complete your order once you have added the coupon. If you don't, the coupon will no longer be valid when you try again.
THE COUPON CODE DOES NOT WORK, WHAT DO I DO?
A situation might occur where a coupon code does not work. Our advice is to first read the conditions: is the coupon valid on the products you're trying to purchase, look at the validation date or maybe check if you're using the right spelling. If you passed all of these, but the coupon code still does not work, please contact our customer service before completing the order. Our customer service team is available from Monday – Friday 9.00 am – 6 pm (GMT +1) on +31 (0)20 337 5332, chat or via bark@newpetsontheblock.com.
If you are not able to reach us outside office hours, please do not continue completing your order. We are not able to apply any discounts or promotions to your order after it has been completed. Please get in touch with our customer service before completing your order, and we will get back to you during our office hours to find a proper solution.
