We will not accept responsibility for reimbursement or compensation of lost packages without proof of delivery, so please be sure to use an insured shipping method.
When your return is received, we will credit the same credit card / PayPal account with which the original purchase was made. We will process your return immediately but the time it takes for the refund to post to your account may vary depending on your bank and/or credit card company.
What is your policy on price adjustments?
If you purchase a product from us and later notice that it has been discounted on our site, we will happily process a price adjustment within 7 days of your original purchase. No price adjustments will be honored more than 7 days after the original purchase.
Price adjustment requests will only be honored for items that have been permanently marked down. We will not offer price adjustments during temporary, store-wide discount periods or promotions, such as Black Friday or holiday-related discount codes.
It is the responsibility of the customer to request a price adjustment.
What is your shipping policy?
DOMESTIC: All United States domestic orders are shipped via USPS Priority. We offer $9.00 flat rate shipping for all domestic orders via USPS Priority, and USPS Priority shipping is free on orders over $150. We also offer USPS Express at a subsidized, flat rate of $39.00.
INTERNATIONAL: We currently offer international shipping via USPS Priority International to a select list of countries. Shipping to Canada is a flat rate of $35.00 and shipping to other countries usually falls under a flat rate of $45.00. If you do not see your country in the list of available countries at checkout but you would like to place an order, please send us an email and we will do our best to help you arrange an international shipment to your country: support@thehill-side.com. Please note that international shipping rates do not include customs, duties, fees, or taxes that may be incurred once your order arrives in your home country. Any such fees are the sole responsibility of the customer.
We cannot ship to multiple addresses per order. Orders received on weekends, holidays, and after 12:00 noon PST on weekdays will be processed and shipped the following business day, except during exceptionally high volume shipping times.
How do I use a coupon or discount code?
Coupons, discount codes, and gift card numbers can be entered in the "Gift card or discount code" field on the right side of the checkout page. Please note that only one coupon or discount code can be used per order. So if you have a $25 coupon as well as a 15% promotional discount code, you will have to choose which one you want to use on your order.
How can I check the status of my order?
You can check the status of your order by contacting us at support@thehill-side.com. We will respond to all emails within 24 hours.

What if the item I want is sold out?
If the item you want is sold out, please write to us at support@thehill-side.com. We often restock items and can tell you if and when the product you're interested in will become available again; or we might be able to help you find the same item through another retailer. In general we will do all we can to accommodate your request.
Do you ship to military service members stationed overseas?
Yes. We ship to both FPO and APO addresses via the US Postal Service. Please use our standard domestic checkout process ("USA CHECKOUT") and enter your FPO or APO address as you would with a normal US domestic address and choose the standard Ground shipping option.

Is this site secure?
The Hill-Side fully complies with all PCI requirements for e-commerce security. This means that any personal information given to The Hill-Side is fully protected and will never be disclosed to any third parties.
