We are unfortunately forced into a corner by the shortsightedness of the California State government. Due to their greed we will no longer be shipping orders to California residences. If you hate this as much as we do, contact you representatives and demand change.
thanks, from the "Goat" staff
How can I avoid a back order on my favorite scent of Goat Milk Soap?
We suggest placing your next order as soon as you crack open the box for your last bar, or better yet, your next to last bar of soap. Handcrafted soap must cure and our soaps are aged a minimum of 3 weeks to assure mildness, and the small batch method helps assure first rate quality. As such, occasionally, due to a particular scents burst of popularity, we may sell out of our small inventory. We strive to bring you fresh yet mild product. Remember this ordering tip to assure that even should your favorite scent be temporarily out of stock, that you'll recieve your shipment before you are really "out" of soap. If we have run out of an item, we will contact you to ask your preference of waiting for the item to come back into stock or suggest a possible replacement for immediate shipment.
How Quickly will My Shipment leave ShineyGoat?
ASAP We generally ship within 48 business hours via USPS (United States Postal Service Priority Mail). If a soap scent should be temporarily unavailable (out of stock and back ordered), there could be up to a 4 week wait for your bar of soap. Keep this in mind when you run low and try to use the tip above for ordering your next batch when you start your last, or next to last bar of that scent. If you have requested a gift basket, it may take slightly longer to process your order. If there is a problem with your order, we will contact you to resolve the trouble and get your order shipped as quickly as possible.
Will ShineyGoat take Returns?
We cannot take returns on opened or used items, sorry, that's just icky. (It is for sanitary reasons.) Our supplier Dancy Rose Soaps goes to great lengths to provide a quality product that we are confident you'll be satisfied with, and does not accept returns. However, if you are unsatisfied with your unopened, unused Dancy Rose products in the first 30 days, please contact us at customerhelp@shineygoat.com with "Returns" in the subject line to discuss your issue with the product. We will not accept a return of product without return approval. We will do our best to accomodate you. Please allow 48 business hours for a personalized response. Any approved returns must be made in the original unopened packaging in re-saleable condition, in the original shipping container. Return shipping will be at your expense. At ShineyGoat.com we appreciate our customers, we are here to serve you, and while the customer may not always be right, the customer always deserves to be heard. If you have a problem with us, tell us; if you're happy with us, tell a friend!
Can I Track My Order?
Of course. Use the link at the top of the page to access our "Track Order" page and you can see what phase of processing your order is in. We ship as quickly as we can, direct from our suppliers to be sure you're enjoying your purchases as soon as possible. If shipping your order will be delayed by more than 2 business days, you will be informed by an email. Check your spam folder and be sure we are enabled to send emails to you!
Does ShineyGoat.com ship to P.O. Boxes, outside the Contiguous States or Foreign Countries?
Sorry, we currently do not ship to foreign countries or to P.O. Boxes. If you are ordering from Hawaii or Alaska, please contact us to assist you in completing your order as different shipping charges will need to be calculated. California Retail Customers, we currently cannot process orders to your state due to the short-sightedness of your state. If you hate this as much as we do, contact your legislator. When Amazon bailed from California sales, so did we. Sorry. We are working on shipping elsewhere, so feel free to inquire if we are capable of shipping to you.
Will Shiney Goat take a C.O.D. or foreign currency?
Sorry, all funds are in U.S. Dollars and we cannot ship orders C.O.D., we currently process via Pay Pal for your convenience. (YES, Pay Pal processes credit cards, you do not need an account!)
