Replacements will only be issued in the event of a verified manufacturing defect or shipping damage, which must be reported within 5 days of delivery with supporting photo documentation.


Products Fulfilled via Shopify Collective

Some items sold by Stay Ready Outdoors are fulfilled by third-party vendors through Shopify Collective. These items follow slightly different return procedures:

  • Return Window – Returns must be initiated within 30 days of the purchase date.

  • Who Handles the Return – Returns and exchanges for these products are handled directly by the business from which the product originated. However, please do not hesitate to contact Stay Ready Outdoors at crquarto@stayreadyoutdoors.com if you need help facilitating a return or exchange — we’re happy to assist.

  • Customer Responsibility for Shipping Costs – Shipping cost responsibility for returns and exchanges varies by vendor. Some vendors offer free returns or exchanges, while others may require customers to pay return shipping.

  • Size Exchanges – If a return is for a size exchange only, the replacement item will be shipped back to the customer once the original is received and inspected, following the vendor’s policy.

  • Refunds – If a refund is due after inspection, the originating business will notify Stay Ready Outdoors and the refund will be processed back to the customer’s original payment method.

  • Price Changes – Prices for products fulfilled via Shopify Collective are subject to change without notice.

Vendor-Specific Note:

  • The Buffalo Wool Company – Items fulfilled by The Buffalo Wool Company through Shopify Collective follow the same return procedures listed above. Customers are responsible for the cost of shipping items back for return or exchange.

All other eligibility requirements and non-returnable item restrictions in our standard policy still apply unless otherwise stated above.
