Operation Errors Policy

At Jetpack, we do our best to alleviate errors when it comes to managing inventory and fulfilling orders, but there are times that operational errors occur. When this happens, we want to ensure that we provide a remedy for the mistake and come to a swift resolution.  

To continue reducing our error rate, we need your help in bringing specific errors to our team's attention. With accurate error reporting, we can implement measures to prevent them going forward.

Important: Jetpack can only correct operations errors within 90 days from the date of the transaction (i.e., from the date the order was shipped or from when the inventory is lost/damaged).

Continue below to review what is covered for confirmed Jetpack Operational errors.

Note: Jetpack does not cover the cost to ship goods to our fulfillment centers. For confirmed operational errors, our policies do not cover the cost of taxes or duties/customs.  

Picking Error

There are instances when Jetpack may make an error while picking a product (either shipping too many units of a SKU or the incorrect SKU). Important: Jetpack can only generate return labels for US domestic orders. If the order was not shipped within the domestic US, we can credit your account for the carrier label purchased to return the incorrect product(s) with a valid invoice or the manufacturing cost of the lost product(s) — whichever cost is lower. If Jetpack makes an error by shipping the incorrect product or too many units of a product, you can choose from the following options:

  • For domestic orders originating from Canada, the UK, or the US: Jetpack will generate a return label for your end customer who received the wrong order to send back what they received.
  • If the order was not shipped within the domestic US, UK, or Canada, we can credit your account for the carrier label purchased to return the incorrect product(s) with a valid invoice or the manufacturing cost of the lost product(s) — whichever cost is lower.
  • Or Jetpack will credit your account up to USD $100 (AUD $142, CAD $142, EUR €90, GBP £80) of the manufacturer's value (per order). This is a good solution if you don't want to ask the end customer to return the items.

Jetpack will also generate a new order in the Jetpack dashboard to re-ship the correct order at our expense. If the order was shipped using a standard ship option, the reshipment will be upgraded to Priority shipping for US domestic orders or Expedited shipping for non-US domestic orders at our expense. For US domestic orders, if it was shipped via a faster option than Standard shipping, we would match the ship option for the replacement order.Important: Please let our Merchant Care team know if you do not want to send a new order to the customer.

If Jetpack makes an error by not shipping enough units of a product, you can choose from the following options:

  • Jetpack will generate a new order in the Jetpack dashboard to send the missing units at our expense. If the original order was shipped using a standard ship option, the reshipment will be upgraded to Priority shipping for US domestic orders or Expedited shipping for non-US domestic orders.
    • Note: If a US domestic order was shipped via a faster option than Standard shipping, we would match the ship option for the replacement order.
  • You can ship the units directly to the customer yourself, and Jetpack will reimburse you for the cost of shipping (with a valid invoice).
    • Note: If the order was shipped via Standard shipping, Jetpack will reimburse you for Priority shipping or match the shipping speed of the original order if a faster option was selected.

Packaging Error

Jetpack's box algorithm aids our team in using the smallest standard packaging available to package each order securely. Jetpack's box algorithm picks the smallest available packaging that can ship your order based on the product’s dimensions, taking into account space for dunnage. If there are issues with the size of the package (causing an increase in fulfillment costs), Jetpack will issue a credit for the difference between the invoiced amount and what you would have been charged if the order shipped utilizing the smallest available packagingNote: The packaging error policy does not include packages damaged in transit. For that, please navigate here for lost/damaged parcel claims.

Order Swap Error

If it is determined that Jetpack switched two orders (e.g., customer A received a package intended for customer B, and customer B received customer A’s package ), Jetpack will credit the manufacturer's value of the product(s) in the order, and create reshipments to send your customer the correct product(s) at Jetpack cost.
