What is your international shipping policy?

Moosejaw offers air shipping for international orders. Choose "International (non-USA) from the Shipping Method dropdown when checking out.

International Shipping Rates
Air orders are sent via FedEx. Some items may be subject to additional shipping charges because of size or weight.

Estimated Shipping Charges by Region

Oversize and/or heavy products such as backpacks, tents and sleeping bags may require additional charges. If additional charges apply, we will email you prior to shipping so you can give us the go ahead. Be sure to check your emails from Moosejaw!!!

Potential Shipping Delays. In an effort to keep shipping costs down, we try to combine all items into a single package. 99% of the time, this does not cause a delay and you can rely on the estimated ship dates shown on our website. In very rare cases, this process can take a week or two in which case the estimated ship date on the website might be inaccurate. This is absolutely nothing to worry about but we have to write this because one person got mad and said we should.

What brands and categories cannot ship outside of the US?

Moosejaw CANNOT ship Arc'Teryx, Bogs, Burton, Canada Goose, Cascade Designs, CW-X, GoPro, Helly Hansen, Injinji, Katadyn, LaSportiva, MontBell, MSR, Optimus, Outdoor Research, Patagonia, Platypus, Quiksilver, Rab, Sea to Summit, SealLine, The North Face, Therm-a-Rest, Thule, Tracks, Vibram FiveFingers, Western Mountaineering, Yakima, or any stroller brand products internationally. Moosejaw also CANNOT ship skateboard, snowboard, wakeboard, windsurf and paddleboard apparel and equipment outside of the US.

Will I have to pay for customs/duties/taxes if I import an item to a country other than the US?

Shipments outside the of the US, are subject to tariffs, duties, value added tax (VAT), etc. These costs are not Moosejaw’s responsibility, we cannot add these charges to your order, and these charges are determined by the local customs office. (You can contact them for more information) The company that is shipping your order will be charging you the fees.

How/why do you verify credit cards?

For a first time international customer we have to verify your credit card, the good news is that you only have to go through the verification process once.
Moosejaw will charge your credit card a small amount (from $0-$3.00 USD), we will then contact you via email that the charge has been made.
You can then contact your bank to find the amount of the small charge; you can give us the small charge amount, via phone, email or live chat, at that time when your card is verified we can process your order.

What is your return policy?

Moosejaw has the best return policy in the world, according to the owner’s mom. We will accept your purchase back at anytime as long as the product is in sellable condition. This excludes underwear, bras, food, climbing gear like a harness and carabiner, gift cards and e-gift certificates, all of which are final sale and cannot be returned.

Proof of purchase required for all returns. IF YOU RETURN THE PRODUCT(S) IN UNSELLABLE CONDITION we will ship the product back to you and will NOT PROVIDE YOU WITH A REFUND. Sorry about the all caps thing. It was probably unnecessary.

How do I return my product?

You can either bring your product(s) and your invoice to a Moosejaw shop or you can mail the product(s) back to us and we'll credit your card right away. To mail the product(s) back to us, simply click below to create a new prepaid return label (offer available only to USA customers). The $7.95 will be deducted from your refund upon receipt. UPS takes about 5-7 business days to get your package back to us. We will credit you within 5 business days of receiving your package and email you a receipt confirming the credit.

NOTE: Anytime you return an order that comes with a free gift, you must also return the free gift. I think that's Cervantes. If we don’t receive it back, we will have to charge you the retail value of the gift.

How do I print a Return Shipping label?

How do I do an exchange?

You can send your product (s) back with your prepaid FedEx label and fill out the packing list with the new item you would like. To ensure fastest service, we highly recommend you place a new order on the website for the item you want, and return the original product to us and we’ll credit you.

What is a speed exchange?

Simply place a new order at Moosejaw.com for the new product(s) and mail the original product(s) back to us and we'll credit your card. FedEx takes about 5-7 business days to get your package back to us. We will credit you the SAME DAY we receive your package and email you a receipt confirming the credit!

What is your price match policy?

If you find an identical product at a lower price and in stock on another site we will match the price and throw in 1,000 extra Moosejaw Reward Points (products over $100) on top of the 5% in points you already get back, after you order the product at Moosejaw.com. Simply place the order online and then email me within 24 hours and we'll take care of everything. You'll receive the Rewards Points after your order ships. Remember, for price match purchases you get back 5% in Rewards Points, and not the usual 10% when placing a standard order. The product we are price matching needs to be identical to the product we have in stock at Moosejaw - that means the exact same size, color, season, etc. Additionally, the price we are matching must include all costs the competitor would charge you for the item including tax and shipping where applicable.

IMPORTANT NOTE:
Our lawyers made us write that "Moosejaw Rewards Points will only be awarded on price matches greater than $1. For example, if you find a jacket for 5 cents less at a competitor, we will gladly match the price if it's identical and in stock, but you don't get the 1000 points. Also, Rewards Points are only awarded when the product itself is over $100. For example, if you find a Nalgene for $1 less at a competitor, we will gladly match the price if it's identical and in stock but since the Nalgene is under $100, you don't get the points. "My mean lawyer wanted to add that "he still loves you." Oh, and the Price Match policy excludes Suunto and Yakima products. Don't blame us. I'm sure you could have guessed, but when you do a price match, you cannot combine it with other offers like Gifts with Purchase, Coupon Codes and other promotions. If you prefer the promotion to the price match, just know you can do one or the other but not both. The lawyer just told us that we do not match prices for auction sites such as eBay. Additionally, we do not match prices of companies based outside the USA. Moosejaw cannot price match on Gift Cards.

My item is backordered. What does that mean?

If you received a call or an email that your item is on Backorder, that means we tried to order the product directly from the manufacturer because at that time of your order the item you wanted was not in stock at Moosejaw. We will ship the product to you as soon as it becomes available from the manufacturer. You can cancel your order at any time.

A product on my order is not available. What does that mean?

There are times after an order is placed that the product has become out of stock or not available. We will contact you as soon as possible via email or phone to inform you that a product you have ordered is out of stock. Please don’t hate us. This happens very infrequently and we usually blame the government.

What does “In Stock” mean?
