FAQ

What is the return policy?

Products purchased through Phillips may be authorized for return using certain guidelines.

Eligible and Ineligible Issues

Products purchased through Phillips Pet Food & Supplies (Phillips) may be authorized for return/credit, using these certain guidelines:

1. DAMAGES /MANUFACTURERS DEFECTS/SPOILED/INFESTED PRODUCT

Concealed damages, manufacturer defects, spoiled or infested product must be authorized by the Phillips Returns Department and should be called in within 48 hours of delivery. Unconcealed damages, manufacturer defects, spoiled or infested product should be noted with the driver at the time of delivery. Credit will be issued for eligible products upon receipt of UPC on consumable items and receipt of product on hard goods.

2. OVERSTOCKS

Phillips does not guarantee the sale on any product. Though we suggest that overstock products be discounted at the retail level, overstocked saleable product can be returned with prior approval, providing it has 4 months remaining before “Best By” date. The restocking fee for this return service is 20% of the price initially paid (including all discounts). Products must be returned within two weeks of purchase. Returns under this category should be initiated through the Returns Department. Products purchased as closeouts, or special orders will not be approved for return under any circumstance.

3. MISPICKS/INCORRECT ORDERING/SHORTAGES

Concealed shortages; incorrect ordering or mispicks should be called in to our Returns Department within 48 hours of delivery. Unconcealed shortages; incorrect ordering or mispicks must be noted with the driver at the time of delivery

4. FROZEN/REFRIGERATED PRODUCT

Frozen product is covered separately from the above. Since a separate signature is required at time of delivery for frozen items, Phillips does not accept returns for defective packaging, out of condition product, incorrect ordering, or dating, unless identified at the time of delivery.

5. OUT OF DATE/INFESTED PRODUCT

Out of date products are not eligible for return. ALL products eligible for return under #2 (retailer return) must have 4 months shelf life remaining. Phillips will not issue credit for any unsaleable product due to improper stock rotation, or store infestation. It is our goal to consistently provide customers with fresh food products.

6. COMMON CARRIER / UPS SHIPMENT:

Shortages or damages on product received by Common Carrier or UPS must be called in immediately upon receipt.Shortages and external damages incurred during shipping will be handled in same manner as product delivered by Phillips truck.

7. CUSTOMER SATISFACTION

Most of our manufacturers list an 800 number for customer satisfaction issues. These calls usually result in a satisfactory “deal” for the consumer. If the customer needs to return product through the store, the customer name, phone number, and reason for return should be included with the RGA and the UPC or product returned to Phillips. Customer satisfaction claims for Wellpet should be handled directly with the Wellpet representative.

Please return UPC’s and a copy of the RGA with your Phillips driver. Keep a copy for your records. Our drivers cannot accept any merchandise/UPC’s from previous Deliveries not listed on the RGA.  If product is from current (Today’s) Delivery, Phillips driver will fill out a Return Log Sheet and leave a copy with you.Upon receipt and verification of product or UPC, a credit will be issued to your account, providing there are no discrepancies and/or incorrect information.

On returned to stock items, credit will be issued for all resalable items. Phillips will only credit the following:
