Shipping Policy
Endura Flap Pet Doors, a brand of Patio Pacific, Inc.
The short version: most Endura Flap products are built for your order, so your delivery date is production time plus transit time. Production time is on the product page. Transit time starts the day your order ships. The most common surprise is expecting only the second number, so we have separated them below.

1. How long it takes: two steps, not one
Your order goes through two separate steps. Add them together.
Step 1: production. Many of our pet doors are custom-built or made to order. Nothing ships until it is built. The estimated production time is shown on each product page, on the product you are buying. Check it before you order. This step happens before any transit time below applies.
Step 2: transit. Transit begins the day your order leaves our facility in San Luis Obispo, California. You get a tracking number by email when that happens.
Transit times after shipment:
| Service | Transit time after shipment |
|---|---|
| U.S. Standard | 3 to 7 business days |
| U.S. Expedited | 2 to 3 business days |
| Canada, Australia, and other served countries | 10 to 14 business days, plus customs processing |
Business days are Monday through Friday, excluding major holidays. Weekends and holidays do not count toward transit time.
Transit times are carrier estimates. They are not guaranteed, including for expedited service. Expedited shipping upgrades transit, not production. It does not get your door built faster, and it does not guarantee weekend delivery. If you are working to a deadline, the number to plan around is production time plus transit time, not transit alone.
There is no blanket production time, and we are not going to invent one. It moves by model, by size, and by season. The estimate on the product page you are buying from is the one that governs your order. If a page does not show one, call or email us before you order and we will tell you what that item is running that week.
In-stock items do not go through production at all. See When orders leave.
2. Free U.S. shipping
Standard shipping is free on orders going to the lower 48 states and the District of Columbia. There is no minimum order.
It applies to the order, not only to the door. Accessories, replacement flaps, and replacement parts ship free on their own. You do not have to add a pet door to the cart to get it.
What free shipping means:
- It covers the outbound shipment of your order to you. That is all.
- Expedited shipping is not free. You pay for the upgrade at checkout.
- Alaska, Hawaii, Puerto Rico, and other U.S. territories are not included. We quote those separately, you see the rate at checkout before you pay, and transit takes longer than the table above. Ask us first if you are working to a date.
- International shipping is not free. Rates are shown at checkout.
- It does not mean free returns. Who pays return shipping, and what happens to your original shipping charge, are set by the Refund Policy.
3. When orders leave
We ship Monday through Friday. We do not ship on weekends or major holidays.
Orders placed on a weekend or holiday begin processing the next business day. Expedited orders placed over a weekend leave on Monday.
Same-day cutoff: noon Pacific. An in-stock item ordered by noon Pacific on a business day usually ships that same day. After noon it goes out the next business day. Usually is the honest word there. A run on one size, a carrier pickup that comes early, or a question we need to ask you about your order can all push it a day. If your order is one of those, we tell you.
This cutoff is about items we have on the shelf. An item that has to be built goes by the production time on its product page, and the cutoff does not shorten that.
4. Where we ship
We ship to the United States, Canada, Australia, and select other countries. Serviceable destinations are confirmed at checkout.
We do not ship to the European Union, the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom, or Switzerland. If an order is placed for delivery to any of those destinations, we will cancel it and refund you in full.
We need a street address. We ship with UPS and FedEx, and neither one delivers to a PO box or to an APO, FPO, or DPO address. That is a carrier limit, not a preference of ours, and there is no workaround on our end. Give us a street address where someone can receive a box. If you are serving overseas and a street address is not possible, call us before you order and we will tell you honestly whether we can get it to you.
5. International orders: duties and taxes are yours
If you order from outside the United States, you are the importer of record. That has real cost consequences, so here they are before you buy rather than after.
- You are responsible for all import duties, taxes, customs fees, and brokerage charges. These are not included in the product price or the shipping charge.
- These charges are set by your country, not by us. We cannot estimate them for you or waive them.
- You are responsible for making sure the product you order can be legally imported into your country.
- Customs processing adds time beyond the 10 to 14 business day transit estimate. That time is outside our control.
- If a shipment is refused or abandoned at customs, we cannot recover it, and charges already incurred are not refundable.
6. Split shipments and backorders
Orders with more than one item may arrive in more than one box, on more than one day. Each shipment gets its own tracking number, so a partial delivery is usually the rest of the order still in transit rather than a missing item. Some third-party items ship directly from the manufacturer rather than from San Luis Obispo.
If part of your order is going to ship separately, we will tell you. Sometimes we hold an order until it is complete and sometimes we send what is ready. It depends on the items, on the wait, and on what you need it for, so there is no single rule for us to publish here. What we will not do is leave you to work it out from a box that is missing something.
Backordered items are charged when you place the order, not when they ship. If the wait turns out longer than what we told you, you can cancel for a full refund. See If we cannot ship on time.
7. If we cannot ship on time
If we cannot ship your order within the production time stated at the time you bought it, we will contact you with a revised ship date. You then choose:
- Wait for the revised date, or
- Cancel for a prompt and full refund to your original payment method.
You do not have to accept a delay. If you do not respond to our notice, we will cancel the order and refund you.
Delays can happen for reasons outside our control: severe weather, natural disasters, carrier disruptions, supply shortages, holidays, and customs processing. We will tell you when a delay affects your order. You should not have to chase us for that.
8. Risk of loss
We carry the risk until your order is delivered to the address you gave us. If your shipment is lost or damaged in transit, that is our problem to solve, not yours. Contact us and we will make it right.
Two limits on that:
- If the address you entered at checkout was wrong or incomplete, section 9 applies instead.
- Orders placed through Amazon or another marketplace are governed by that marketplace's policies, including the Amazon A-to-z Guarantee.
9. Wrong or undeliverable addresses
You are responsible for entering a complete and accurate shipping address.
Changing an address. Contact us as soon as possible. We will try, but we cannot guarantee a change once an order has entered production or shipped.
Bad address. If a package is delivered to the address you gave us and that address was wrong or incomplete, we cannot reroute, replace, or refund it at our expense.
Returned to us as undeliverable. If the carrier cannot deliver your package and sends it back to us, we reship it once at our cost. Send us a corrected address and we send the door out again. That first reship is on us even when the address was the problem, because chasing you for a freight charge over a typo is not worth the relationship. A second failure on the same order is at your cost, and if you would rather have your money back at that point, it is handled as a return under the Refund Policy. A shipment refused or abandoned at customs is covered under International orders above, not here.
A package you refuse is a return, not an undeliverable package. If you turn the carrier away at the door, or refuse delivery so it comes back to us, that is a change-of-mind return and the Refund Policy governs it, including who pays the freight. We do not reship a refused package free. Refusing a delivery cannot be the cheap way to do what a return does.
Delivered to the wrong place. If tracking shows delivered but the package went to the wrong residence or location, tell us within 14 calendar days of the carrier's delivery date. We open a carrier investigation while the claim documentation is still available, and we work with you to resolve it. Waiting longer than 14 days can make the claim unrecoverable.
10. Damaged or lost shipments
Damaged in transit. Inspect your order when it arrives. Email photos of the damage and the packaging to customerservice@enduraflap.com. Timelines, eligibility, and remedies for damaged goods are set by the Refund Policy. Report it promptly, because carrier claims expire.
Stopped tracking or lost. Contact us. We open an investigation with the carrier and keep you updated through the claims process.
11. Order acceptance and cancellation
An order confirmation means we received your order. It is not acceptance. We may refuse or cancel an order for inventory problems, payment authorization failures, suspected fraud, pricing or listing errors, or verification issues.
If we cancel, you get a full refund to your original payment method. How long that takes to issue, and how long your bank takes to post it, are set by the Refund Policy.
Pricing and listing errors are one of the reasons we may cancel. What we do when a price is published wrong, including offering you the item at the correct price, is set out under Prices and errors in Terms & Privacy.
Because production often starts shortly after you order, we cannot guarantee changes or cancellations once production has begun. Contact us as soon as possible and we will do what we can.
12. Export compliance
By placing an order, you agree not to export or re-export any product you buy from us in violation of United States export laws.
13. Changes to this policy
We update this page as the business changes. Every version is dated.
Changes apply going forward from the date they are posted. The date on the version you are reading is at the bottom of this page.
