If your shipping address is different than you're billing address (where you receive your credit card statement), please call your credit card bank to make them aware of the shipping address. Informing your credit card bank about your the shipping address will not change any existing billing information; it will be temporarily listed in the banks memo field for purchase verification only. Please recognize that calling your credit card bank about an address notification may not only be necessary, but it will also speed up the verification process. If your selected payment method is PayPal, we will ship your order to a PayPal confirmed address only. A PayPal confirmed address is an address that has been reviewed by PayPal and found to be safe based on information related to the address. We are currently unable to process any credit cards that are billed to an address outside of the United States. For international orders please review International Orders below.

Rebates

Backyardwonderland.com wants to ensure that you get the best possible prices anywhere. We will make every effort to notify you about any additional savings that may be available through manufacturer rebates. Please recognize that manufacturer rebates are under the control of the manufacturer, not Backyardwonderland.com. Rebate programs vary greatly between manufacturers and models; each rebate program has its own set of terms and conditions. Please make sure to follow all the rebate terms and conditions instruction carefully since failure to do so may lead to the forfeit of a rebate claim. Here are some helpful tips:

DON'T THROW AWAY THE BOX

With most rebates it is necessary cut off and send in the original UPC code and/or serial number printed on the items' packaging.

KEEP YOUR RECEIPTS

Many rebates require you to mail in the original sales receipt for proof of purchase. Therefore always keep a copy for your records.

MAKE COPIES OF EVERYTHING

On occasion rebate fulfillment centers will have no record of your rebate claim. You may have to resubmit your application.

DO NOT DELAY

After your purchase, there may be as little as one week to send in the rebate claim.

BE SURE TO FOLLOW UP

If you receive no communication regarding your claim within the specified response time, please contact the rebate center listed on the rebate form.

CHECK YOUR MAIL CAREFULLY:

Make sure you do not inadvertently discard your rebate check along with any junk mail you may have received.

We are not responsible for rebates denied because of a late claim, improper submission, or any for any reason a rebate was not redeemed or not redeemable. * Important Note: Products offering mail-in-rebates are non-returnable to Backyardwonderland.com once the rebate claim has been submitted. Be sure that the product is working and that you intend to keep the product before filing for rebates. Products missing UPC codes from the box are also not returnable; a credit or exchange will not be processed even if a return authorization was issued and your return was accepted. Please contact our customer service department if you have any questions before removing the UPC code from your product.
