Do you see
“Returned by Delivery Provider” as the tracking status? This
means our courier was unable to deliver your order and you will
be automatically refunded within 24 hours.
What happens if my delivery has not arrived?
If your package has not arrived within your set delivery window, we may be experiencing delays. If you have not received your order by 8 p.m., contact our Pet Experts by clicking here.

days prior to your delivery date. An order modification email
will be sent to confirm any changes made.
How long will the store hold my in-store pickup order?
If the order has not been picked up by the next day, we will try to contact you. In-store pickup orders will be held for one week after the scheduled pickup time. If we can't reach you, your order will be refunded.
Pick-Up Restrictions
In order to make sure that your purchases are secure, we will ask for a copy of your confirmation and a state-issued picture ID when you pick up your order. For large orders, we may also ask to see the credit card that you paid with. We reserve the right to decline orders that do not meet certain security criteria. In that event, we will attempt to contact you in advance.
How can I skip or cancel my AutoDelivery?
You may skip upcoming AutoDeliveries or cancel an AutoDelivery subscription by going to "AutoDeliveries" in your account. For assistance, please contact us by clicking here anytime or call our Pet Experts at (510) 609-3600.
What happens if an item in my AutoDelivery is out of stock or temporarily unavailable?
We will always make every effort to send a complete order. Unfortunately, we occasionally experience supply limitations that may cause us to send an incomplete AutoDelivery order. We will reach out to you via email when this occurs; depending on the circumstances, you may be offered a delayed delivery, a substitution, or a cancellation. Please feel free to respond to this email or call our Pet Experts at (510) 609-3600.
What if my AutoDelivery is expected to come on a Holiday or day Pet Food Express is closed?
AutoDelivery orders that fall on a Holiday or a day Pet Food Express is closed will arrive one day prior. We will always reach out to you via email before this occurs. Contact us by clicking here anytime or call our Pet Experts at (510) 609-3600.
Are prescription diets available online?
A prescription must initially be set up at a store in order to purchase prescription diets online thereafter. Once a prescription has been set up, please log into your account to order online. Prescription diets are also available for purchase within our stores. Find a store.
How can I update my delivery address?
Go to your account and select "Addresses." Here you can edit, delete, or add a new address.
How much do you charge for delivery?
Delivery is FREE for orders over $50 (after any coupons or promotions are applied), excluding tax. Otherwise, we offer delivery for just $4.99.
Who will be delivering my order?
We work with third-party delivery services to ensure the fastest delivery to your pet.
How do I tip my delivery driver?
Tipping is an easy way to recognize drivers for their excellent
work and is always optional. For most standard delivery orders,
the option to add a tip will appear at checkout. A suggested
amount is provided but you may customize the tip by choosing a
percentage or entering your own amount. 100% of your tip goes to
your delivery driver. Driver tips are non-refundable once an
order has shipped.
Please note: some locations utilize a third party delivery
service that does not offer tipping; in this case no tip option
will appear. Unfortunately, at this time we are unable to offer
a tipping option for AutoDelivery orders.
Do I need to be there to sign for my delivery?
For the safety of employees and customers, at this time we
are only offering contactless delivery, meaning no signature
will be required.
Typically, it's up to you! During the checkout
process, you will be prompted to choose if a signature is
required or not upon delivery.
If you are not home
and do not require a signature, the driver will leave your order
at your door or wherever you instructed.
I did not receive my confirmation email. What should I do?
