Once your order is processed and shipped, a tracking number will be sent via email to the email address associated with your order. Click on this number to track your package via the shipping carrier's website. Tracking numbers will not be functional until 8pm EST of the day the package is shipped.

Packages are untraceable until 8pm of the evening the package is shipped and the tracking number will not be functional until this time. If the tracking link sent with your confirmation email isn't working, try logging into our website, find your order and click on the tracking number to track your package through the carrier. Note that your tracking number differs from your order number. If the link still does not work, try entering your tracking number directly into the carrier's tracking page. If you still can't get your tracking information to appear, contact us and we can assist you in finding where your package could be.

If your tracking information shows your package was undeliverable or returned to us in Roanoke, VA, the mail carrier decided the package could not be delivered safely. There are a few reasons for undeliverable packages:

• A part of the address is missing (usually apartment / suite numbers)
• A part of the address is incorrect / nonexistent (usually apartment / suite numbers)
• Mailbox / doorstep was inaccessible
• Mailbox / doorstep was insecure
• The package could not fit in mailbox but could not be safely left on doorstep
• The carrier did not recognize the recipient's name for that address

Unfortunately, The Tanning Store has no control over when a package is undeliverable as that decision is left to the mail carrier's discretion delivery. They may leave the package at the local post office or the carrier hub for customer pick up or they may send it back to our warehouse. Returned mail may take several days to reach us and we have no warning when this happens. When the package does return to us, we only know there was an error at delivery until we have time to assess the problem.

When we receive undeliverable packages, we attempt to contact you for an updated / corrected shipping address to resend your order. Our Free Shipping offer does not apply to any re-attempted package deliveries. You will be charged standard shipping for any subsequent delivery attempts.

If we can't contact the customer to figure out the problem, we will reclaim the package contents and refund the order, minus the shipping. Shipping is non-refundable.

If your package tracking hasn't been updated after a few days, it may have been lost in transit. With the incredible volume of packages handled by the carriers, losing a package is rare, but does occur. We understand your frustration. Please contact us with your situation and we can attempt to find your order. If it appears that the carrier did lose the package, we will ask that you initiate a claim with the shipping carrier.  We will follow up on your claim and once the carrier declares the package lost, we will re-ship your order. We do ask that if your initial package does find its way to you, that you contact us so we can reverse any new shipment in transit or send a return label for the duplicate order.

Undeliverable Packages

If your package is deemed undeliverable due to inaccurate or invalid address, the carrier will return the package to our facility.  Typically, neither the customer or us is aware the carrier is returning the undeliverable package until it is returned to our facility. We then call you for the correct address and to make arrangements for reshipment. The additional shipping cost for the return to us by the carrier and reshipment to the correct address are all the customer's responsibility.

Free shipping is unavailable for Alaskan and Hawaiian orders due to the unavailability of ground delivery. We offer USPS, UPS and FedEx shipping services to these states. Please allow at least 14 business days for non-expedited orders.

Due to the shipping policies of all carriers, ORMD-Regulated aerosol products can only be shipped USPS Standard Post Ground Only. Due to carrier flight restrictions, they are not available to our Hawaii, Alaskan or Canadian customers.

If using a PO Box to ship your order, please make sure to use a shipping method other than UPS or FedEx. The post office cannot accept UPS or FedEx packages but will accept other carriers. If you provide a PO Box address and select an expedited or overnight delivery at checkout, you will be downgraded to another shipping option. If this is the case, we cannot guarantee the difference will be refunded and apologize for any inconvenience.

We are a proud supporter of our service members and want to make sure our men & women in uniform can order from us too. All orders to APO addresses are shipped via USPS through the military mail system. These orders can take up to 14 days to arrive. Unfortunately, once the package enters the military mail system, due to security reasons the tracking ceases to update and we cannot provide any further tracking information. Please make sure to use the USPS shipping method at checkout as packages with UPS or FedEx shipping cannot and will not be delivered.

Free shipping is not available to Canada. Due to carrier restrictions and rates, we only ship Canadian orders through FedEx Ground Delivery and only to the matching billing address of the credit card. These orders usually arrive within 4-12 business days. Please note that our listed rates do not include customs fees and you will be charged for them. These custom fees include order delivery, customs practices and import taxes.  A customs broker can be consulted for any additional help you may need.

We do offer FedEx Expedited Delivery at special request and at an additional cost to you the customer. Please contact us for a delivery quote. Again, this quote will not include customs fees.

At this time we do not ship orders internationally beyond North America.

Unopened & Open containers of Solutions & Cosmetics are non-returnable or refundable. Sales are considered final. Temperature control is vital to the life of the solutions and we have no way of knowing how the product is stored once it leaves our facility.

We strive to bag and sometimes tape solutions so they do not leak during shipping. If your solution has leaked during shipping, the solution in the bottle is still good & usable. We may credit the amount of solution lost but we will not reship a full container unless the entire container is fully damaged.

If you are not satisfied with your equipment purchase, The Tanning Store will refund your purchase amount if the item is within the 30 day return period and is in resalable condition including all original packaging, warranty information and accompanying literature. Tanning tents are not returnable or refundable. If the equipment is not returned with all original packaging but is still in good condition, The Tanning Store may deduct a 20% restocking free to cover any lost value in reselling the item as an open box return. If the equipment returned is not in good condition, The Tanning Store will return the appropriate credit based on the item's estimated value. Any equipment returned in this condition will be subject to a 25% restocking fee.

Warranty issues

If you are having an issue with any equipment, we recommend emailing or calling us to troubleshoot and determine any issues via our Contact Us page or our toll-free number at 1-866-446-1919.  You must have an RMA number before returning any item.  After 30 days of purchase these may be covered under warranty if it is a manufacturer defect. Neglect or cleaning issues are not considered a manufacturer defect. We are a distributor, so some items may need to be shipped directly to the manufacturer. The customer is responsible for round trip shipping charges in either case. Once received, it is then decided if it's a manufacturer defect, misuse, or normal wear & tear. If it’s our equipment, we will fix or replace it at no extra charge if it's a manufacturer defect. Only the item in question needs to be returned (unit & cord, spray gun, etc.) with a copy of your sales receipt in the box. If it's not a warranty issue, we will let you know.  (Please note in some cases the warranty is covered by the manufacturer and they will handle any replacements or repairs.) Shipping cost of the replacement unit will be the responsibility of the customer and must be paid prior to the replacement unit being shipped. Warranties cover units but do not cover shipping costs.

Pop Up Spray Tan Tents

Tents are non-returnable or refundable. We will replace a defective tent 1 (one) time within 30 days of purchase. You must furnish pictures of any damage or defect and email us. Folding is not a warranty issue. The tents have memory wire that can be bent back in place if out of shape. 3 folding methods are located here:  https://thetanningstore.com/popup-tanning-tent-instructions-video/

No international returns on equipment will be accepted. Any equipment warranties are void once it leaves North America and we are not responsible for any damage, accidental or otherwise, that occurs once it has left North America.
