Frequently Asked Questions

Frequently Asked Questions

Shipping, returns, sizing and looking after your new gear.

Orders and shipping

  • Do you offer free shipping?

    Yes. Every order ships free across Australia with tracking. There's no minimum spend and nothing to add at checkout.

  • How long does delivery take?

    Delivery times depend on where you are in Australia and the item you've ordered. As soon as your order ships you'll get an email with a tracking number, and the tracking page shows the latest estimate for your parcel. If it's running later than expected, send us a message and we'll chase it for you.

  • How do I track my order?

    Use the tracking link in your shipping confirmation email, or open our Track Your Order page. If the tracking hasn't updated for a few days, that's usually a scan being missed along the way, but you're welcome to contact us and we'll check.

  • Can I change or cancel my order?

    If you contact us soon after ordering, usually before the order is packed, we can change the size or colour or cancel it. Once an order has shipped we can't redirect it, but you can use our 30-day returns once it arrives.

  • My order arrived damaged or faulty. What now?

    We're sorry about that. Send us a message within 30 days of delivery with your order number and a photo of the problem. We'll cover the return shipping and replace or refund the item, whichever you prefer.

  • Do you ship outside Australia?

    Not at the moment. Nested Pets is an Australian store and we currently ship within Australia only.

  • Which payment methods do you accept?

    Visa, Mastercard, American Express, PayPal, Apple Pay, Google Pay and Shop Pay. All payments go through Shopify's secure checkout, and we never see or store your card details.

Returns and refunds

  • What is your returns policy?

    You have 30 days from delivery to return an item. Faulty or damaged items are replaced or refunded and we cover the return shipping. For change-of-mind returns the item needs to be unused, unwashed and in its original packaging, and you cover the postage back to us.

  • How do I start a return?

    Send us a message through the Contact page with your order number and the item you'd like to return. We'll reply with the return address and instructions. Please wait for that reply before posting anything, so your return doesn't go astray.

  • When will I get my refund?

    Once your return arrives and has been checked, we refund your original payment method. Your bank or card provider can take a few extra business days to show it on your statement.

  • Can I exchange for a different size or colour?

    Yes. Let us know what you'd like to swap to when you request the return. If the new option is in stock we'll arrange the exchange; if not, we'll refund you so you can reorder.

Products and sizing

  • How do I choose the right size?

    Each product page lists the maker's measurements. For beds, measure your pet while they're curled up asleep and add a little room; for harnesses, coats and robes, measure the chest at its widest point and compare it with the size table. If your pet sits between two sizes, go up one.

  • How do I wash beds, covers and clothing?

    Most of our soft items have removable covers or can go in the machine on a cool, gentle cycle. Check the care notes on the product page, air dry rather than tumble dry, and brush off loose fur first so it doesn't clog your machine.

  • Are your toys and feeders safe for pets?

    We choose products made from pet-safe materials and describe exactly what each one is made of on its page. As with any toy or feeder, supervise your pet while they get used to it and retire anything that becomes damaged or small enough to swallow.

  • Will my pet actually use a new bed, carrier or scratcher?

    Most pets take a day or two to claim something new. Put it where they already like to rest, add a familiar blanket or a few treats, and give them time. If it still isn't a hit after a couple of weeks, remember you have 30 days to return it.
