ORDER CANCELLATION

To cancel an order you have placed with Greater Goods, you must contact customer support by email (orders (at) greatergoods.com) or by phone (202-449-6070). Every effort will be made to accommodate the cancellation of your order as long as it has not yet shipped.

When contacting customer support to cancel an order, please be ready to provide your name, the order number, and your contact information.

Please note that if the item has shipped, the order cannot be canceled. In this case, you can request to return the item for a refund (minus shipping costs).

OUT OF STOCK ORDERS

Our inventory can fluctuate throughout the day, so an item indicated as “in­stock” when you place your order may, in fact, be out­of­stock. In this event, we make every effort to contact you by email immediately to notify you that your order will be placed on backorder. If this should occur, we will only bill your credit card for merchandise that is actually shipped. The email will also provide you with information on how to cancel the order if you would prefer not to wait for the item to be in stock again. Most out­of­stock items are in stock again within two (2) weeks.

Certain items for sale on our site are not kept in inventory, but will be special ordered for you and shipped within two (2) weeks. If you select one of these items, your checkout page will indicate the actual shipping date. If the shipping date is not acceptable, you may cancel the item before confirming your order.

If there’s a problem with something you purchased from Greater Goods, you can either bring it to our store (with your shipping receipt), or ship it back to us within 30 days of purchase. Ship returns via Ground UPS or insured US Mail (we do not accept CODs). We will refund shipping costs on damaged merchandise only.

Returns over $100 must have a return authorization number clearly marked on the outside of the package or the item will be refused. A return authorization number can be obtained by calling 202-449-6070 or

INFORMATION SECURITY

We protect the security of your information during transmission by using Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) software, which encrypts all of the information you provide to us and prevents outside parties from being able to "see" your transaction information. When your account information is displayed on your screen, we only display the last five digits of your credit card numbers. You also have the choice of whether or not to save credit card information with us in your Online Account. Please see our Privacy Policy for more information.
