Returns

Return Eligibility and Authorization

Most unused products may be returned within 30 days of delivery for a refund of the product purchase price or an exchange for the same item. Products must be in new, unused condition. Contact us through our Contact page before returning an item to obtain a Return Authorization (RA) number. Return requests must include the order number and the name of the product being returned. Unauthorized returns may be delayed or refused. The return must be shipped within 14 calendar days after the RA number is issued. Approved returns are made by mail to the address supplied with the authorization. Do not send a return to a manufacturer or to an address shown on a shipping label unless we specifically instruct you to do so.

Product Condition and Complete Returns

Return the product with all parts, accessories, cords, adapters, manuals, tags, and protective packaging originally supplied with it. A return that is incomplete, used, damaged after delivery, or missing material components may receive a reduced refund reflecting the documented loss in value or reasonable replacement cost. We will explain any deduction when the return is inspected. We do not charge a restocking fee for an eligible return received complete and in new, unused condition. Products damaged by our error, a confirmed product defect, or carrier handling are not subject to a restocking fee or condition deduction for that damage.

Consumable and Biosecurity-Sensitive Products

Feed, treats, supplements, herbs, bedding, pest-control products, and health or first-aid products are eligible for return only when unopened, unused, and in their original sealed packaging. Once opened, used, applied, or exposed to animals or a coop, these products cannot be returned for change-of-mind reasons.

Digital Gift Cards and Conditional Final-Sale Products

Digital gift cards are not returnable, refundable, or redeemable for cash after they are issued or delivered, except where required by law. Contact us if a gift card is not delivered or is sent to the wrong recipient. Custom, special-order, clearance, or final-sale products are nonreturnable only when the product listing clearly states that restriction before purchase.

Damaged, Defective, Missing, or Incorrect Orders

Please report a damaged, defective, missing, or incorrectly shipped item within seven calendar days after delivery. If a concealed defect could not reasonably have been discovered within that period, contact us as soon as the issue is discovered. Prompt reporting helps us document carrier damage and replace missing or incorrect products quickly; it does not limit rights provided by applicable law or a written product warranty. Include the order number, the affected item and quantity, and a description of the problem. When applicable, provide clear photographs of the product, the shipping carton, interior packaging, shipping label, damage, missing components, or incorrect item. For an electrical or mechanical problem, we may request photographs or a short video demonstrating the issue when it is safe to do so. Keep the product and all packaging until we provide instructions. These issues remain eligible for resolution even when the product would not qualify for a change-of-mind return. Depending on the circumstances and product availability, we may provide replacement parts, replace the item, issue a refund, or coordinate a manufacturer-warranty claim. My Favorite Chicken pays authorized return shipping when an item is confirmed defective, damaged in transit, or incorrectly shipped.

Refund Processing and Shipping Charges

We will notify you after the return is received and inspected. Approved refunds are submitted to the original payment method within three business days after inspection. Banks and payment providers commonly require an additional five to ten business days to post the credit. If a posted refund has not appeared after that period, contact your bank or card issuer and then contact us with the order number. Original standard outbound shipping charges are refunded when the entire order is returned because of our error, an eligible product defect, or carrier damage. Original shipping charges, upgraded or expedited shipping charges, duties, brokerage charges, and similar delivery costs are otherwise nonrefundable unless required by law. Complimentary standard shipping is not deducted from an eligible change-of-mind refund.

Exchanges and Unavailable Replacements

Eligible exchanges are normally for the same product. If the replacement is unavailable, we will issue a refund to the original payment method; the customer may choose store credit instead. A request for a different product is handled as a return and a new order so that pricing, inventory, taxes, and shipping are calculated correctly.

Return Shipping and Lost Return Packages

Customers are responsible for return shipping for change-of-mind returns and other non-defect reasons. Use a trackable shipping service and retain the receipt and tracking number. Shipping insurance is recommended for higher-value returns. A customer-arranged return remains the customer's responsibility until it is delivered to the authorized return address. When My Favorite Chicken supplies a prepaid return label for an approved damaged, defective, or incorrect shipment, use that label and obtain an acceptance scan from the carrier. We will handle the carrier claim for a package lost after that acceptance scan.

Order Cancellations, Shipped Orders, and Refused Deliveries

Contact us immediately if an order needs to be canceled. We will attempt to cancel an order that has not entered fulfillment, but cancellation is not guaranteed once picking, packing, label creation, or shipment has begun. After an order ships, the applicable return rules apply. A refused or undeliverable shipment that is not the result of our error is treated as a change-of-mind return after it comes back to us. Actual return-carrier charges or address-correction fees may be deducted from the refund. No such deduction applies when the refusal or delivery failure resulted from our error.

Manufacturer Warranties and Electrical Products

Some products include a manufacturer's written warranty. When a product-specific warranty is offered, its stated coverage, duration, exclusions, and claim procedure control and should be reviewed before purchase. This return policy does not replace rights provided by an applicable written or implied warranty. Coop Defender Gold automatic door openers and kits include a one-year limited warranty. Review the complete terms before purchase and retain the original receipt or order confirmation. The Radiant Chicken Coop Heater, model CPHEAT, includes a one-year limited warranty against defects in materials and workmanship. Proof of purchase is required; registration is not required.

First Saturday Lime satisfaction guarantee: First Saturday Lime offers a separate 60-day manufacturer satisfaction guarantee. Under the manufacturer’s published terms, customers must submit the receipt, package UPC, and contact information within 60 days of purchase; the program is limited to one refund per person. This manufacturer program does not extend My Favorite Chicken’s 30-day return window or change the eligibility requirements above. Claims under the manufacturer guarantee are handled according to First Saturday Lime’s terms.

During the 30-day return period, contact us first about a suspected defect. After 30 days, we may help identify the applicable manufacturer-warranty process. Keep the order confirmation, model or serial information, manuals, and warranty documents. Stop using and unplug an electrical product if it is damaged, wet, overheating, sparking, producing an unusual odor, or otherwise appears unsafe. Do not continue testing an unsafe product. Damage caused by misuse, improper installation, water exposure contrary to instructions, or alteration is not treated as a product defect to the extent that the condition caused the failure.

Holiday Purchases and Gifts

The standard 30-day return period applies to holiday purchases unless an extended holiday period is announced on the website before purchase. For a product purchased as a gift, the return period is measured from delivery. Refunds normally go to the original payment method and purchaser. An eligible gift recipient may request a same-item exchange or store credit without receiving the purchaser's payment information.

Alaska, Hawaii, International, and Freight-Forwarder Orders

Customers in Alaska and Hawaii are responsible for change-of-mind return shipping in the same manner as other customers. We do not currently offer routine international checkout. Any international or freight-forwarder order accepted by prior arrangement follows the written terms supplied for that order. International postage, duties, taxes, brokerage charges, and forwarding fees are nonrefundable except when the return results from our error or applicable law requires otherwise.

Wholesale Orders

Wholesale returns, cancellations, shortages, and damage claims are governed by the applicable quote, purchase order, account agreement, or other written wholesale terms. Unless those terms state otherwise, wholesale customers must inspect deliveries and report shortages, visible damage, or incorrect items within five business days. This retail return policy does not override separately agreed wholesale terms.

Applicable Consumer Rights

Nothing in this policy limits any non-waivable rights or remedies available under applicable law.

Payments

Payments are processed securely through Authorize.Net. We accept major credit and debit cards through our encrypted checkout. Full payment-card details are handled by the payment processor and are not stored on the My Favorite Chicken website.

Shipping

Retail orders to the contiguous United States normally ship within 1-3 business days and include complimentary standard shipping unless a product listing states otherwise. Estimated carrier transit time is 1-4 business days by USPS Priority Mail or 1-6 business days by UPS or FedEx Ground. Alaska and Hawaii are not included in the standard contiguous-U.S. shipping offer. We email tracking information when your order ships. Wholesale bulk purchases ship at rates and schedules based on pre-agreed terms. Orders under 100 units normally ship within 7-10 business days; orders of 100 units or more normally ship within 14 business days.
