Why are your collars so expensive?

When you spend a lot on a product, it's an investment, especially when it's "Made in the USA". Our collars are unlike any other product on the market today and we pride ourselves on the quality and durability of our gear. You are paying for HANDMADE gear that has chemical and water resistant webbing, recycled canvas fabric, self-produced designs, water-resistant treatments, and a lifetime guarantee. 

How long will my product take to make?

All Banded Pines products are proudly handmade in the USA which helps us keep the quality and integrity of our brand. Because of this, our products can take up to 5-7 days to make before they are shipped out as they are made to order. 

Can I combine two orders?

Sadly our system doesn't allow us to combine orders anymore and it has become far too confusing to try and do this behind the scenes. Please make sure to order everything in the same order or know that you will have to pay for more shipping with the new order.

Will I be charged any additional fees for delivery outside the US?

In some cases, the shipment may be subject to VAT, duty, tax, or other charges required in the country of delivery. We cannot predict these additional costs and they are borne by the purchaser. Unfortunately, we can't estimate the amount of these fees in advance because they vary from country to country. For further information, please visit the Customs authorities in your place of residence, or their website. In some cases, the consignment will be cleared in the country of destination, which may cause delays and longer times to delivery.

Please note that we cannot declare a shipment as a gift, nor declare a price lower than the actual value of the shipment

I ordered the wrong size collar and/or bandana. What can I do?

If you ordered the wrong size bandana you have 2 options:

1.) If the neck size is too tight or too loose, just switch the bungee out yourself. Go with a smaller bungee if it's too loose, and a bigger bungee if it's too tight.

2.) If the bandana length is too short or too long, and the bandana has not been worn or gotten dirty or have dog hair on it (AND IS IN BRAND NEW CONDITION) you can use the Return Portal (if it has been less than 30 days since shipped) or contact us at bandedpines@gmail.com and receive directions on how to ship the bandana back to us and we will exchange it for a smaller or larger bandana size. NOTE: We do not refund or exchange bandanas that have been worn outside by your dog and cleaned to look new. The bandana must be in brand new condition (for resale purposes) and only "tried on" your dog.

If you ordered the wrong size collar and it has not been worn or gotten dirty or have dog hair on it (AND IS IN BRAND NEW CONDITION) you can use the Return Portal (if it has been less than 30 days since shipping) or contact us at bandedpines@gmail.com to receive directions on how to ship the collar back to us and we will exchange it for a different size. If there is a price difference, we will either refund you the extra or send you an invoice for the additional charge of a bigger collar.

NOTE: We do not refund or exchange collars that have been worn outside by your dog and cleaned to look new, or were received more than 30 days from contacting us. The collar must be in brand new condition (for resale purposes) and only "tried on" your dog.

Can your collars stand up against salt water and sand?

Absolutely. We have many customers all over the world who frequent beaches and sandy places with their dogs and have had no problems with sand setting in or drying time. The collars also won't feel crusty or stiff after washing from the beach. Please be sure to rinse all your gear right away to get rid of any salt water. Our plastic buckles are specifically designed to push out excess sand and to ensure a more secure clip and eliminate the worry of a buckle coming unclasped.

Can you design me a custom collar?

As of right now, Banded Pines as a whole is not capable of making custom order gear. It would not be cost effective for either party to have custom gear made. But who knows, maybe in the future it could be a possibility!

Can I be a model or brand ambassador for Banded Pines?

We do not offer positions for models or ambassadors through our brand. We personally seek out specific dog owners to sport our gear depending on a variety of things including photography style, activity with their dog, lifestyle, and avoiding promoting multiple brands or products that can be confusing to ours, through a social media outlet.
