1. Fulfilment Charter and Scope
At FirePineGear, we are committed to ensuring the timely and reliable delivery of all camping equipment and outdoor gear ordered through our platform. This policy sets out our fulfilment charter—the standards we apply from payment confirmation to final delivery—and applies to all eligible destinations listed below unless otherwise specified.
This policy should be read together with our Returns & Refunds Policy. Nothing in this policy limits any mandatory rights available to you under applicable consumer law.
2. Order Acceptance and Dynamic Payment Confirmation
We currently accept iDEAL, Bancontact, and BLIK for your purchases. To ensure secure and compliant processing, our checkout uses a post-order dynamic routing system:
- You add items to your cart, proceed to checkout, and fill in your shipping information.
- You click “Place Order”.
- Only after clicking “Place Order” will our system evaluate your destination country and order currency, and dynamically load the wallet payment options available for your region.
- You select your preferred wallet method and authorize the transaction through the provider’s secure interface.
Clicking “Place Order” generates an order record with a pending status. Upon successful authorisation and verification of your payment, we will issue a confirmation email to the address provided at checkout. This email serves as official acknowledgment that your order has been accepted and has entered our processing system (it is not a dispatch confirmation). If your payment is declined or cannot be verified, the order will not enter processing and cannot be reinstated; it must be placed again through the website.
3. Basecamp Dispatch Readiness
For all orders, the standard processing period is 1–2 business days, excluding weekends and public holidays. During this interval, our fulfilment team performs a basecamp dispatch readiness check, which includes verifying stock availability, inspecting each item for quality and completeness, checking hardware and included accessories, and preparing the package for dispatch in accordance with our internal handling procedures.
Processing time is separate from shipping time. During promotional events, holiday periods, or peak outdoor seasons, processing may take longer than usual. We will make reasonable efforts to minimize delays and keep you informed where relevant information is available.
4. Service Levels and Delivery Estimates
We primarily offer Standard Shipping. In selected markets, Expedited Shipping may be available at checkout. Our system automatically selects the most appropriate carrier and service level based on the sales platform, item dimensions and weight, and delivery address.
| Shipping Method | Eligible Destinations | Processing Time | Shipping Time | Total Estimated Delivery | Shipping Fee |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Standard Shipping | Primary service regions listed in Section 5 | 1–2 business days | 7–14 business days | 8–16 business days | $6.99 flat rate for subtotal under $79.00; free for subtotal $79.00+ |
| Expedited Shipping | Selected destinations, where displayed at checkout | 1–2 business days | Displayed at checkout | Displayed at checkout | Calculated at checkout |
Delivery charges are collected once at checkout. No additional delivery charge will be collected from you upon delivery. Return shipping charges, where applicable, are separate and are governed by our Returns & Refunds Policy.
If Expedited Shipping is not displayed at checkout, it is not available for your destination. All delivery estimates are provided for reference and are not guaranteed delivery dates. Actual delivery times may vary due to destination, carrier operations, customs procedures where applicable, weather, and other circumstances beyond our reasonable control.
5. Destination Coverage and Address Verification
We currently serve customers in the following primary markets and local regions:
- United States
- United Kingdom
- European Union member states
- Selected additional destinations, subject to product eligibility and logistics availability
If your country or region is not listed or is not available at checkout, please contact us before placing an order to confirm whether delivery can be arranged.
Please ensure that your shipping address is complete and accurate, including recipient name, street address, city, state or province, postal code, and contact information where required. Incorrect or incomplete address details may result in delivery delays, failed delivery attempts, or additional handling. We recommend providing a physical street address whenever possible.
6. Carrier Matching and PO Box Review
Our system automatically selects the most appropriate shipping carrier and service level based on the sales platform through which the order was placed, the dimensions and weight of the ordered items, and the delivery address provided.
If your shipping address includes a PO Box, the system will verify whether the selected carrier supports delivery to such locations. If the chosen logistics provider cannot deliver to a PO Box, the order will be flagged for review. Our customer service team will contact you promptly to arrange an alternative address or, where an alternative cannot be agreed, cancel the affected order and issue an appropriate refund. For oversized, bulky, or specially handled camping equipment, additional carrier restrictions may apply depending on destination and service level.
7. Delivery Charges and Destination Taxes
The total order charge at checkout covers the product price and any applicable shipping fees. For the initial shipment to eligible destinations, FirePineGear will bear applicable import duties, customs clearance fees, value-added taxes (VAT), and other ancillary charges levied by the destination country in connection with that initial delivery. These charges will not be collected from you separately upon delivery.
If a carrier or customs authority contacts you regarding additional payment for the initial shipment, please contact our customer support team before making any payment so that we can review the matter.
Return-Related Adjustments: This section applies to the initial delivery only. The treatment of original outbound shipping fees, import duties, VAT, and customs charges upon a return is set out in our Returns & Refunds Policy. Where a return is not due to FirePineGear’s error (e.g., customer change of mind) and applicable law permits, non-recoverable amounts actually incurred by FirePineGear—including original outbound shipping costs and non-refundable import taxes or customs clearance fees—may be deducted from the refund. Where a return is due to FirePineGear’s error, such amounts will not be deducted.
8. Tracking the Trail
After dispatch, you will receive a shipping confirmation email containing a unique tracking number. Please allow up to 72 hours for the tracking information to become available on the carrier’s system.
You may use the “Track Order” function on our website to view detailed transit updates. If no update appears within 72 hours of receiving the shipping notification, or if the shipment appears delayed or stuck in transit, please contact our support team for further investigation.
9. Delay Escalation and Carrier Exceptions
While we strive to meet all estimated delivery times, unforeseen circumstances may cause delays. These include, but are not limited to:
- Adverse weather conditions: heavy rainfall, snowstorms, tornadoes, floods, earthquakes, and other natural events.
- Local operational factors: labour strikes, statutory holidays, major international conferences, or regional disruptions.
- Seasonal peak pressures: increased shipment volumes, flight or personnel shortages, or logistical constraints during high-demand periods.
- Carrier and customs procedures: capacity limitations, operational interruptions, inspections, or administrative requirements.
We advise customers to consider these possibilities when planning for receipt of their orders. A delivery delay does not automatically entitle you to a refund. If a significant delay affects your shipment and relevant information is available to us, we will make reasonable efforts to notify you and, where appropriate, open a carrier inquiry. If the carrier confirms that the parcel is lost or cannot be delivered, we will arrange a replacement or refund in accordance with our Returns & Refunds Policy.
10. Arrival Inspection and Delivery Exceptions
Please inspect your order upon delivery. If you receive an incorrect item, discover missing products, or find that your camping equipment was damaged in transit, contact us as soon as reasonably possible with your order number, a description of the issue, and clear photographs of the affected item and packaging where applicable.
Please retain the original packaging and shipping materials until the issue has been reviewed. We will assess the information and work with you toward an appropriate resolution under our Returns & Refunds Policy.
11. Order Changes and Cancellation
If you need to update your shipping address or modify your order, please contact us as soon as possible after placing it. We will make reasonable efforts to accommodate the request before the order enters the shipping process. Once an order has been packed or handed to the carrier, we may be unable to change the address, modify the contents, or stop the shipment.
Customers are responsible for ensuring that all information provided at checkout is accurate and complete.
