Questions, answered plainly

If your question isn't here, email [email protected] — a person replies, usually within a day.

How long will delivery take?+

Packed and dispatched within 1–3 business days, then 7–12 business days in transit to most Australian addresses. Remote and regional postcodes, WA and the NT can take up to 18 business days. Every parcel is tracked and you get the number by email.

Why isn't delivery next-day like a big retailer?+

Because we keep a short, deliberately chosen range instead of holding hundreds of SKUs in a local warehouse. We publish the real delivery window on every product page rather than promise two days and miss it. If your order hasn't arrived within 18 business days, that's a refund or replacement, your choice.

How do I pick the right bed or tower size?+

Measure your cat nose to tail-base while they're lying down, then add 10cm. Beds: the sleeping area should be at least that long. Towers: the top platform should be at least as long as your cat, and the base footprint at least a third of the tower's height for stability.

Will a fountain frighten my cat?+

Some cats take a week to trust moving water. Run it for a day before showing them, keep it away from the food bowl, and don't hover. The pumps in our fountains are rated under 30dB — quieter than a fridge.

Can I pay by card or PayPal?+

Yes. Card, Apple Pay and Google Pay go through Stripe's secure checkout; PayPal is also available. Your card details are handled by the payment provider and never stored on our servers.

Is checkout secure?+

The site runs over HTTPS and payments are tokenised by Stripe or PayPal — we receive only a confirmation, the amount and the last four digits of the card. Admin access to orders is password-protected.

What if my cat hates it?+

30-day returns on unused items, and we cover the return post within Australia. If it's been used and hated, email us anyway — we'd rather know which products don't work.

Do you ship outside Australia?+

Not yet. Australia only, all states and territories, $9.95 flat or free over $95.

Are the ratings on the site yours?+

Two different things, both labelled. A line saying the maker's listing scores a certain figure is their published rating, not ours. Anything shown with stars is a review from a verified Chimo Labs order — written by the buyer, checked by a person before it appears, and shown with their first name or 'Verified buyer'. We don't write reviews, buy them, or publish one we haven't read.

Something went wrong with my order. Who do I tell?+

Email [email protected] with your order reference (CL-XXXXXX) and a photo if it's a fault. A person replies within one business day, Monday to Friday Sydney time. Your rights under the Australian Consumer Law apply regardless of anything written here.
