Refund and Return Policy

Thank you for shopping at A Mandatory Activity.  I love doing what makes me happy, so I want you to be happy too.  If you are not satisfied with your purchase, I am here to help.

Our products can be returned within 10 days of delivery of the product.  Shipping charges are non-refundable.  To be eligible for a return, the product must be repackaged in its original packaging and must not be used or damaged. Products that do not meet these requirements are ineligible for return.  If your product meets these requirements, send an email to returns@amandatoryactivity.com to request a return authorization.  Failure to obtain a return authorization may result in a denial of your refund request.

I will send you a return shipping label.  If you have just changed your mind or do not like the scent you selected, the cost of return shipping will be deducted from your refund.  If the error was mine, I will pay the cost of return shipping.

If your product arrives damaged, my sincerest apologies.  I know how excited you were to receive it, and how disappointing it is to receive a damaged item.  Since all items are insured when shipped, please take photos of the box and damaged product and email them to returns@amandatoryactivity.  We will file a claim with the shipper and work to replace the damaged item.  Note that because my products are made in small batches, an exact replacement may not be available.

Shipping Policy

I process orders in the order they are received, generally within 2-3 days of receipt.  Please keep this in mind when ordering gifts for holidays or birthdays. Orders shipped via standard shipping are generally shipped via UPS Ground or USPS from Maryland.  Transit times are generally 1-5 days within the continental United States, but are not guaranteed and may take longer particularly near holidays.  If you need your order sooner, you may select an alternative shipping method at checkout.  Please keep in mind that selecting a faster shipping method will not reduce order processing time.  All orders are processed in the order received.  The shipping date generally does not count as a transit date.  This means most orders will be received within a week of ordering, unless the item you ordered was backordered.  During busy times, delivery may take 10 days or more for in-stock items. If your order contains backordered items, your entire order will be held until that item is available.  This reduces your shipping cost.  If you want in-stock items to ship immediately, please submit separate orders for in-stock and backordered items.
I am not responsible for packages that have been delivered but appear to have been stolen.  If the carrier indicates your order has been delivered, but you have not received it, please contact the courier to determine if they may be holding the package for pickup but incorrectly indicated it was delivered. For orders shipped via USPS, if the post office does not have your package, you may wish to file a complaint with the U.S. Postal Inspector and file a police report.  Because I am a small business, I cannot replace products that were delivered but subsequently stolen.  If you are concerned that your package may be stolen, you can submit a request to the carrier to hold your package for pickup. I am not responsible for packages that are delivered to the wrong address due to an incorrect or incomplete shipping address provided by you.  Please confirm the shipping address is correct before submitting your order, and review the shipping address on your order confirmation email.  If the shipping address is incorrect, please contact me at info@amandatoryactivity.com as soon as possible.  If the product has not shipping, I will update the address after confirming your identity.
