Shipping / Returns / Refunds QUESTIONS

What is civibuy's return policy?

You may return most purchases within 30 days of delivery for a full refund. If the item being returned is not damaged or defective, we'll deduct the prepaid cost of return shipping from the refund. Once the item is received by Woot!, the refund will be applied.

Is a signature required for delivery?:

  • We usually do not require a signature for delivery. 
  • If you would like us to require signature, please let us know when you place your order,email us at support@civibuy.com after you place your order – include your order number - and we will make sure a signature is required for delivery.

Do I have to be home?:

  • We ship our packages with US Postal Service and you do not have to be home to receive your delivery. 
  • Our packages are usually delivered together with your regular US mail service.
  • If you have experienced delivery issues in the past we recommend you be home

What if a tracking # show the package has been delivered?:

If the US POSTAL SERVICE tracking number shows it was delivered to your address, then there is very little we can do at that point. Their scan 'proves' that they delivered it to your address.
Here are several suggestions that we have found to be very helpful in locating missing packages:
  • Is it possible someone else in your household forgot to tell you it arrived? 9 times out of 10 this is the case.
  • Have you spoken to your mail carrier person? They had to scan the package when they delivered it, so it’s possible he/she will remember something about the package. 
  • For example, sometimes he/she will place a package somewhere other than in your mailbox if it won’t fit (usually behind a plant, patio furniture, etc.). Or they may have accidentally delivered it to a neighbor.
  • If you aren’t able to speak to him/her directly, we recommend leaving a note in your mailbox with the tracking number and tell them it was shipped in a white padded envelope.
  • Have you checked to see if a neighbor received your package by mistake?
  • If by some chance your delivery person isn’t able to clarify and you aren’t able to locate your package with a neighbor, you may open an investigation by calling 1-800-ASK-USPS (1-800-275-8777). Your inquiry will then be routed to your local post office where they will research the delivery of your package.
  • If the scan shows it was delivered to your address, it means we met our responsibility to you. In that case we are not able to provide refunds (or we will go out of business!!).

What if I entered the wrong Ship To address?:

Please let us know! If it hasn't shipped yet, we can change the shipping address. 
If it has shipped we will need to wait for it to return to us. When we receive it back, we reship it to the correct shipping address.
Since the first time we ship your order it is free, there is a fee of $6 to reship to the correct address.
Do you ship internationally?:
Yes, we ship to many countries all over the world!

All international orders are shipped via USPS mail.
Orders may be subject to fees, taxes and customs duties. Customer is responsible for all of these charges.
Please be advised international shipments are subject to clearance procedures, which can cause delays beyond original delivery estimates. Every attempt will be made to minimize the potential impact of customs delays.
