Peak Design shipping policy

Free shipping

Peak Design offers shipping services for both domestic and international orders. For U.S orders, the products are shipped from their warehouse near Los Angeles and are sent via USPS 1st Class, USPS Priority, or FedEx Ground. The specific service is automatically chosen by their system depending on the size and weight of the order. On the other hand, international orders are shipped from one of their six global warehouses in Los Angeles, Toronto, London, Tilburg, Hong Kong, and Sydney. The system automatically chooses the closest warehouse and the fastest standard/ground service available. However, prior to shipping, they cannot guarantee which shipping service or warehouse will be used. Peak Design does not offer free shipping to everybody or shipping discounts to international customers who place big orders.

Peak Design return policy

Peak Design has a straightforward return policy for both domestic and international orders. Domestic returns are facilitated through Happy Returns, which incurs a flat $8 shipping fee per return label generated. Customers can choose to exchange their product or receive store credit, which will be sent as an eGift card. International returns are also facilitated through Happy Returns, but customers are responsible for shipping fees through the discounted prepaid label option or paying for postage in full with the carrier of their choosing. Customers have the option to exchange their product or receive store credit. Return credits or refunds will be initiated as soon as the return is received and verified at the returns processing facility, which may take 1-2 weeks to complete.
