All Sales Are Final. Orders Cannot Be Canceled Or Modified.

All sales are final due to the sensitive and perishable nature of the supplements. Please be careful when selecting products!

Occasionally, pet owners may not discover our products until their pets are near death. By the time the products arrive, their pet is deceased and/or unable to take the supplements. This is a terribly unfortunate circumstance. We understand your frustration and encourage you to consider this possibility before placing your order. If this is a concern to you, then it may be best to forego your order.

Our products are perishable and we want to give all pet owners the freshest, purest products. We won't send you products that have sat at someone's home or been returned to us as we would not be able to guarantee their purity and effectiveness. We do not accept returns and ask you to please consider this information carefully before making a purchase.


Deliveries

All orders are shipped to the shipping address. Please be careful to indicate if the shipping address differs from the billing address. We use a delivery confirmation receipt on all packages. If you do not receive your order within 1 week's time, please contact us right away. If you accidentally put in the incorrect shipping address and the package is returned to us, we will ship the order out to you again at the correct address, upon receipt of the package. We will help you research the package using the delivery confirmation. If the delivery confirmation receipt shows that the package was delivered, there is little more that we can do. We can work with the Post Office to research its whereabouts but if the delivery confirmation shows that the package was delivered to the shipping address, we will NOT replace the package without additional payment for a replacement order.

Problems with Your Ordered Package

At Ask Ariel, exceptional care is taken to package and ship your order promptly and carefully. You may find our packaging to be more conscientious than anything you have ever received before. We carefully count the items, check off the shipped items on your invoice, include directions stapled to your invoice and check inventories routinely to ensure your products are fresh. If you receive a package from us and are concerned that an item may be missing, please contact us immediately at 949-499-9380. Please do NOT throw out your packaging as many times, missing items are discovered deep under our extensive packaging in an effort to protect your products. In order to guarantee the replacement of a missing item, it must be reported to us within 1 week of delivery. We are not responsible for lost items if they are reported to us after 1 week of delivery.


Telephone Orders

Orders must be placed using our secure online system. Please do not be concerned about the security of our website as we have implemented numerous quality control procedures to protect your secure information. We use state of the art firewalls to ensure that client credit card and address information is completely protected. We do not EVER sell client information to outside third parties. However, we are not able to process telephone orders. For your protection, we only accept online orders to ensure that the actual credit card holder is placing the order and using the proper security codes. This also ensures that there are no misunderstandings in terms of store policies regarding returns, shipping time and sizes/products ordered.


Payment Information

We accept the following credit cards: Visa, MasterCard, Discover and American Express. We use secure servers to protect your privacy. We only have access to the last 4 digits of your account so we cannot keep "credit cards on file" for future purchases (and your protection).

If you are uncomfortable making online purchases using a personal credit card, we recommend using a prepaid credit card available at most stores. We do not accept checks or any other form of payment as we want to ensure you receive your order in a timely manner.

Taxes

Purchases shipped to California residents will be charged sales tax.

Shipping Information

Every attempt is made to ship your order to you as quickly as possible. Orders typically ship within 24-48 hours after they are submitted. Most orders are received between 3-7 days following the date of the order. We only use the US Postal Service which we have found to be the fastest and most efficient way to ship.

Shipping Costs

Customer service is extremely important to us. Unfortunately with the rising cost of fuel, we have had to raise the cost of shipping charges. Our shipping prices are very competitive and we will do our best to ensure your order is received as promptly and safely as possible. We will research lost orders and do everything we can to show you how important your business is to us! The following shipping costs apply to orders shipped in the 50 U.S states, including Alaska and Hawaii:

Orders Under $150: $8.95 + “heavyweight charges” (if applicable)
Orders Over $150: FREE + any "heavyweight or fragile item surcharges"

Please note the Amazing Omegas and other fragile liquid products are expensive to ship. You may see there is a small additional heavyweight charge for shipping these products. If your order is over $150 and includes heavyweight items, we will assess a small heavyweight item surcharge on those items.
