I can certainly either send you a refund or put in a replacement for you (on us, of course!) and have it shipped to you free of charge. Otherwise, I can send you a pre-paid return label and provide a full refund for your order.

If it has shipped and is stuck, or delivered but the customer still hasn't been able to locate it, send them the tracking number and tell them to contact the postal service. Hi {First-Name},
Ava here to help! I've just pulled up your order in our systems and am seeing the same thing -- definitely odd!
I understand that there have been some recent issues with USPS given logistical delays due to COVID-19. Often times, packages that are stuck or marked as delivered will show up within one or two business days. Please let me know if your package shows up.
If this order still has not shown up within the week, please let me know and I can get a full refund processed for you.
Thanks so much, and please have an awesome day!

Where are collars shipped from?
All orders ship from the US. Our warehouses are located in Fairfield, New Jersey :slightly_smiling_face:
What are pheromones?
Pheromones are a chemical signal sent out by an animal that triggers a social response in members of the same species. They act like a hormone operating outside of the animal’s body, and are used to communicate nonverbally. Animals from insects to large mammals use different pheromones to protect against predators, sound alarms for danger, mark territories, promote mating, comfort their babies, and more.
Cats produce different pheromones for different purposes: for example, when you see your cat rubbing their cheek against a surface, they are marking it with a pheromone that demarcates the environment as safe.
Does this collar have a strong scent?
The Spuddy’s Natural Pheromone Collar for Cats is lightly scented. Infused with lavender oils and feline pheromones, most humans are unable to pick up any sort of scent from the collar.
How often do I need to change the collar?
We recommend that you replace your Spuddy’s Natural Pheromone Collar every month. Our collar is made with extended-release technology, which continuously releases the feline calming pheromone consistently over the course of 30 days.
Can this collar be used at the same time with a flea collar?
Absolutely. There are no interactions between Spuddy’s Natural Pheromone Collar and flea collars on the market.
When will I start noticing a difference in my cat?
While every cat is different, you will see results within thirty minutes to a day of putting on the Spuddy’s calming collar.
Will it work just as well if I only put the collar on my cat at night?
The Spuddy’s Natural Pheromone Collar can be worn both day and night. Depending on the times of the day that you know your cat to be anxious, you may decide to put the calming collar on during a portion of the day. Otherwise, the calming collar can be left on your pet 24/7.
Customer Requests on Facebook Messenger
Just like how tickets are resolved on Zendesk, you can fulfill customer requests through Facebook Messenger. You may follow the same Zendesk wording for different scenarios below.
