If you require extra fast delivery or if you would like your shipment to be shipped with a particular shipping company, please contact us by e-mail (info@lifewithoutplastic.com) or by phone at 819.459.1459. We would then invoice you an additional amount for the extra shipping fees, as agreed with you.

International Customers
We do not currently ship internationally (apart from the United States), but we are actively looking for distributing companies who could re-sell our products in their home countries. Please contact Sanctus Mundo at info@sanctusmundo.com to inquire.

Customs, Duty and Import Tax
Life Without Plastic cannot be responsible for any customs or duty charges on international shipments. Charges (if any) are determined by customs officials once the shipment has arrived in the country it is being shipped to. This process might also add delay to your delivery. If you have questions or concerns about customs, please contact the customs agency of your country to inquire on regulations and costs.

Recycled Packaging
In keeping with our mission to clean up the planet, we reuse boxes and packing materials that come into our store and use new boxes and mailing envelopes made of recycled material (no plastic if at all possible). We also sometimes use cornstarch peanuts which are reusable and compostable but not recyclable. Although we strive to use material that is 100% recycled, it is not always possible to obtain, in which case we use the highest recycled content available at the time of shipment.

Orders Mailed to the Wrong Address
If your order is returned to us because the address you gave us through Paypal or otherwise is wrong, we will contact you in order to get your new address. We will then request that you pay the full cost of shipping the products back to you. Unfortunately, in trying to keep our prices low for your benefit, we cannot afford paying shipping fees twice. The prices you pay for shipping are often already lower than what it actually costs us. Please ensure that you keep Paypal updated at all times with your new address information. Thank you for understanding.

Returns
Because we want you to be happy with each and every purchase, you may return any item you purchased from Life Without Plastic for a full refund of applicable charges within 30 days of the date records indicate you succesfully received your purchase, provided the items are in original new condition with all materials, paperwork, and accessories intact. Items that are used, washed or damaged may not be returned. Please note that gift box charges and shipping charges are not refundable, unless we sent you the wrong item.

Please inspect goods upon delivery. Any defective or missing items should be reported to Life Without Plastic immediately. We always purchase shipping insurance so if you think your order was damaged during shipping, please let us know. All goods held by the customer for more than 30 days cannot be returned. Defective Klean Kanteen products must be reported to Klean Kanteen directly by email: warranty@kleankanteen.com or by phone 530-345-3275. Klean Kanteen offers a one year warranty on all of its products.
