FAQs

Welcome to Atlantic Pet Products

To help you get to know us better, we've provided some answers below to the questions we're often asked.

Company Information

Are your items authentic?

We take pride in the authenticity of our products. Every item we offer is guaranteed to be genuine, with clear English labeling. Additionally, our products have extensive shelf lives, with most having one to two years before expiry. We source our pet medications and products globally, including from Australia, Europe, South Africa, and the United States. This global sourcing allows us to provide significant savings without sacrificing quality. All our products are branded and match the composition of their European-labeled equivalents. They are manufactured in the same facilities as the European-labeled products. We exclusively offer branded items, avoiding generic alternatives. We understand the importance of consistency and trust in pet care brands. Therefore, we ensure that the products you receive will:
• Be the exact brand you selected,
• Be produced by the original manufacturer,
• Contain the same active ingredients,
• Be provided in the same dosage as expected,
• Be equivalent to what you would purchase from a vet.
In summary, we deliver 100% authentic products – no imitations, just the trusted brands you know and rely on.

Why are your products more affordable compared to others?

Our ability to offer competitive pricing is rooted in our unique shipping and sourcing strategy. We dispatch all our orders from locations outside Europe, which significantly aids in optimizing our pricing structure. Moreover, the majority of our inventory consists of export-labelled items. These products are essentially identical to their European-labelled counterparts in every significant aspect. They come in the same manufacturer-sealed packaging, ensuring authenticity and quality. Additionally, irrespective of the labeling for different countries, all items are produced in the same facilities, maintaining uniform standards and quality. This approach allows us to provide you with the best possible value without compromising on the quality or authenticity of the products you trust and rely on.

Where do your orders ship from?

We dispatch our orders from various locations outside Europe, a strategic decision that allows us to offer you outstanding value. For more detailed information, we encourage you to visit the "About Us" page on our website. Most of our products are export-labeled, yet they are identical in quality and authenticity to their European-labeled counterparts. They arrive in the same manufacturer-sealed packaging and are produced in the same facilities, ensuring consistent quality regardless of the country for which they are labeled. If you have further questions or need personalised assistance, please reach out to us via email or use the contact form on our website. We're always here to help!

Where is your company based?

Placing An Order

Is it possible to place an order by phone?

At present, our system is optimised for online transactions, and we are unable to accept orders or payments over the phone. We encourage you to place your order through our secure and efficient website. As a token of our appreciation, please use the coupon code 'HAPPYPET' to receive a 5% discount on your total order. This code can be applied during the online checkout process. If you need any assistance with placing your order online, our customer service team is readily available to help.

How do you ensure the security of my personal information?

Protecting your personal information is our top priority. To ensure your data is secure, we use Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) technology, the most advanced security protocol for online transactions. This technology encrypts all your personal information before it is transmitted to us, preventing it from being intercepted or read as it travels over the Internet. During the transaction process, you can verify the security of your information by looking for a closed lock icon or an unbroken key icon in your browser window. These icons indicate a secure connection while you place an order on our website. Additionally, our website address begins with 'https://', which signifies a secure server connection. Within our organisation, access to your personal information is strictly controlled. Only employees and agents who need this information to process your order and provide excellent customer service have access to it. Furthermore, the computers storing your personal data are located in a separate facility, equipped with advanced firewall and security technology, to prevent unauthorised access or breaches.

What are the available payment options?

We provide a range of payment methods to ensure your purchasing experience is both convenient and secure. You can pay with major credit and debit cards, including American Express, Visa, and MasterCard. Additionally, we accept payments through PayPal, which may allow the use of your Discover card or other alternative payment methods. We also offer bank transfers as a payment option. Our aim is to make the payment process as smooth and flexible as possible for you.

Why was my payment with a card declined?

If your card payment was declined, it might be due to our billing location in Australia, which can occasionally cause issues with certain banks or card providers. Firstly, please verify that all your card details were entered correctly. If everything appears to be correct, the next step is to contact your bank. Inform them about the transaction and request authorisation. Once they have authorised it, you can try the payment again. As an alternative, consider using the PayPal payment option. With PayPal, you can securely enter your card details without needing to sign in or create a PayPal account. To do this, select PayPal as your payment method and then choose the 'or pay with a card' option on the PayPal site. This method might help bypass the issue causing your card to be declined.

The possibility of changing your order depends on its shipping status:
Before Shipment: If your order hasn't been shipped, we can assist you with any changes you need to make. Please contact us by sending an email or using the 'Contact Us' form on our website. Remember to include all necessary new information in your message, such as updated address details, changes in item quantities, or sizes.

How can I track the status of my order?

To track your order, please refer to the tracking reference number included in your shipment notification email. You can use this number on the postal carrier's website to follow the progress of your delivery. Be aware that it may take 2-3 business days for tracking information to become available after your order has been dispatched. Should you need any further assistance or encounter issues with tracking your order, feel free to contact us. You can reach out via email or use the Contact Us form on our website. Our team is here to address any questions or concerns you might have.

Why does the product packaging appear different from what I’m used to?

The variation in packaging you might notice is due to our products being sourced and shipped from different countries. This strategy allows us to offer you the best value. While the packaging may vary, the quality and authenticity of the products remain consistent. They come in the same manufacturer-sealed packaging and are produced in the same facilities, regardless of the country they are labeled for. If you have any questions or need further clarification about our product packaging, please do not hesitate to contact us. You can reach us via email or by using the Contact Us form on our website. We are here to assist and ensure your satisfaction with our products.

Why did I receive only part of my order?

If you’ve received only part of your order, there could be a few reasons for this. Often, orders are shipped in separate packages to ensure faster delivery or because the items originate from different locations. Consequently, these packages might arrive at different times. Additionally, some items may have a longer processing or shipping time compared to others. Rest assured, the remaining items in your order are on their way. You can track each package using the tracking information provided in your shipping confirmation emails. If you have any concerns or need further assistance regarding your order, please don’t hesitate to contact us. You can reach us by sending an email or using the Contact Us form on our website. We are dedicated to ensuring you receive your complete order promptly and accurately.

Why didn’t I receive my confirmation email for my order?

If you haven't received an order confirmation email, there could be several reasons:
• Email Address Typo: Double-check if the email address you provided during the order process was accurate. Even a small typo will prevent the confirmation email from reaching you.
• Spam/Junk Folder: Sometimes, confirmation emails are mistakenly routed to the spam or junk folder. Please check these folders in your email account.
• Email Delay: Occasionally, there might be a delay in the email system. It's worth waiting a few minutes to see if the email arrives.
• Order Processing: If your order is still being processed, the confirmation email may not have been sent yet.
If none of these reasons apply or if you still haven't received your confirmation after checking, please contact us for assistance. You can reach us by sending an email or using the Contact Us form on our website. We're here to ensure that you have all the information you need about your order.

Why does the weight on my item’s packaging differ from what I expected?

The difference in weight listing on the packaging of the item you received is likely due to the labeling system used. Our products are typically labeled with weights in kilograms, as this metric measurement is standard for items shipped within and outside Europe. Occasionally, you might see weights listed in pounds as well. If you need assistance in converting these measurements or have any other queries regarding your order, please don't hesitate to reach out. You can contact us by sending an email or using the Contact Us form on our website. We are always here to help and ensure you have all the information you need about our products.
