How long does shipping take and what are the costs?

Shipping Rates:
- Free Shipping: We offer FREE standard shipping on most domestic orders over $250 (within the contiguous USA).
- Fixed Shipping: Some items, due to their size or weight, carry a fixed shipping rate. These items may be excluded from free shipping promotions.
- Standard Orders: For orders under $250, shipping is calculated at checkout based on weight and destination.
Please note that processing time may increase during new product launches or holiday sales. For full details on our logistics, please visit our Terms and Conditions page.
My package is marked as delivered, but I cannot find it. What should I do?
If your tracking information shows that your package was delivered but you cannot locate it, please follow these steps:
- Check all possible delivery locations (porch, back door, mailbox, or with neighbors).
- Wait 24 hours, as some carriers mark packages as delivered before they actually arrive.
- Contact your local post office or carrier branch immediately to request a GPS delivery verification.
Zolitta is not responsible for packages stolen after delivery or lost by the carrier, but we are here to help you with the investigation. Please notify us within 3 days of the "delivered" date so we can assist you in filing a claim. For more details, please see our Terms and Conditions.
Do you ship internationally?
Yes, we ship our professional grooming equipment worldwide. Please note that all international orders must be pre-approved and coordinated with our team before processing.
Payment & Shipping: For security reasons, we only accept Bank Wire Transfers as a payment method for orders outside the USA and Canada. Your order will be dispatched immediately once the full payment is cleared and received. International customers are responsible for all customs duties, taxes, and brokerage fees imposed by their respective countries.
Shipping times vary significantly depending on the destination and customs clearance. You can find more information about international shipping obligations in our Terms and Conditions.
What is your return and exchange policy?
We accept returns on unused and unopened items in their original packaging within 14 days of delivery. Due to strict hygiene standards in the professional grooming industry, items that have been used on animals or removed from their original sealed packaging cannot be returned.
Please contact us to receive a Return Merchandise Authorization (RMA) before shipping any items back. Shipping fees are non-refundable. For more details, please refer to our Return Policy within our Terms and Conditions.
Do Zolitta products come with a warranty?
Zolitta stands behind the quality of our professional blades and shears. Our warranty covers manufacturing defects in materials and workmanship.
Defect Reporting Window: You have 3 business days from the date of delivery to inspect your tools and report any manufacturing defects. Reports made within this 3-day window are eligible for immediate resolution as a defective arrival.
After 3 Days: If a defect is reported between 4 and 14 days after delivery, the item may still be returned under our standard policy, provided it is in unused, original condition. Items reported after the initial 3-day inspection period may be subject to a more detailed review to distinguish manufacturing defects from operational wear.
Please note that the warranty does not cover normal wear and tear, damage caused by dropping tools, or improper sharpening performed by third-party services. Detailed limitations are available in our Terms and Conditions.
What should I do if my order arrives damaged?
If your package or tools arrive damaged, please follow these requirements strictly to ensure a resolution:
- Take Photos Immediately: Photograph the exterior of the box (especially any visible damage), the shipping label, and the damaged tools inside.
- Keep All Packaging: Do not throw away the box, bubble wrap, or any packing materials. The carrier may require an inspection of the original packaging to process the claim.
- Report within 48 Hours: Contact us at info@zolitta.com with your order number and photos within 48 hours of delivery.
Failure to provide photos of the original packaging or reporting the damage after the 48-hour window may limit our ability to file a claim with the carrier. For more details, please see our Terms and Conditions.
How should I maintain my Zolitta blades and shears to keep them sharp?
Proper maintenance is essential for the longevity and performance of your professional tools. To keep your Zolitta equipment in top shape, please follow these guidelines:
- Clean After Use: Remove hair and debris from the blades using a brush or pressurized air. For deeper cleaning, use a dedicated blade wash to remove organic residue.
- Oil Regularly: Apply 1-2 drops of professional blade oil to the contact points of the blades and shears after every dog or at the end of each session. Always wipe off excess oil to prevent hair buildup.
- Manage Heat: If blades become warm during a groom, we recommend switching to a fresh, cool blade. This protects the metal's integrity from overheating.
- Professional Sharpening: Only use reputable sharpening services specializing in professional grooming tools. Improper sharpening by non-certified technicians can permanently damage the edge and will void your warranty.
Consistent cleaning and oiling are the best ways to prevent friction. For warranty details regarding improper care, see our Terms and Conditions.
Do you charge sales tax on orders?
Sales tax is applied based on the shipping destination and local state regulations:
- New Jersey Residents: We are required by law to collect sales tax on all orders shipped to an address within the state of New Jersey.
- Other USA States: For orders shipped outside of New Jersey, no sales tax will be collected by Zolitta.
- Tax-Exempt Organizations: If you are a tax-exempt organization (such as a school or non-profit) located in New Jersey, please provide a valid NJ Sales Tax Exemption Certificate (Form ST-5) before placing your order so we can process your purchase tax-free.
- International Orders: Taxes, customs duties, and import fees for international shipments are the responsibility of the customer and are collected by the respective local authorities upon arrival.
For more information, please refer to our Terms and Conditions.
Why am I being asked to provide a Government ID or signature for my order?
To ensure security and prevent fraudulent transactions, Zolitta, LLC reserves the right to request a Government ID for verification purposes on first-time customer orders or any orders exceeding $300. Rest assured, all submitted copies are securely and permanently deleted immediately following identity confirmation.
Additionally, a signature is mandatory upon delivery for all orders over $300. If an order is returned to us due to a lack of signature or unavailability at the time of delivery, additional shipping fees will apply for re-delivery.
Are there any items that are strictly non-returnable?
Yes. Due to strict professional hygiene and safety standards, certain items cannot be returned or exchanged under any circumstances once purchased (unless a factory defect is officially reported within our 3-day inspection window).
Non-returnable products include: magazines, DVDs, shampoos, sprays, liquids, blades (unless defective), attachment combs, brushes, and combs.
Are there any specific packaging requirements or fees for processing returns?
Yes, all qualified returns of unused items must be shipped securely in cardboard boxes. Any returns shipped in paper or padded envelopes will be automatically rejected. The customer assumes full responsibility and all costs associated with return shipping.
Please note that a 10% restocking fee is automatically deducted from the final refund amount for all authorized returns. Original shipping fees are strictly non-refundable.
What happens if my package is unclaimed, refused, or returned as undeliverable?
If an order is returned to Zolitta, LLC due to buyer fault (including incorrect or incomplete shipping addresses, failure to collect the package from the carrier, or refusal of delivery), it will be processed as a standard return within 3 business days of receipt.
The cost of the items will be refunded to the original payment card or issued as store credit, minus any return handling fees. Original shipping fees are non-refundable. For orders that initially qualified for free shipping, the actual shipping cost incurred by Zolitta, LLC to send the package will be deducted from your total refund.
What is the warranty policy specifically for Zolitta clippers?
Our clippers come with a 1-year limited warranty covering the motor and control panel. To maintain warranty eligibility, you must use the original charger provided with the unit.
Mechanical malfunctions occurring within the initial 15 days of purchase qualify for a complete replacement unit. After 15 days, units will be repaired or serviced at the company's discretion. Please note that normal wear of blades, outer shells, cord damage, or damage caused by drops are strictly excluded from warranty coverage.
Can I request a return shipping label from Zolitta if I change my mind about a product?
No. For all standard, discretionary returns (where a customer decides to return an item due to personal preference), Zolitta, LLC does not provide, generate, or issue return shipping labels. In these cases, the buyer is solely and independently responsible for purchasing, printing, and arranging their own trackable shipping label via USPS, UPS, or FedEx at their own expense.
