We’re committed to getting your order to you as quickly as possible. Sometimes during peak volume periods (holidays and sales), we do occasionally experience shipping and processing delays. Please know that we’re working as hard as we can to pack up and ship your order.

We ask that you give the shipping carrier 2 business days for their order to arrive once it has been marked as delivered as sometimes there is a delay between the order being marked as delivered and when it is received. If you still haven't received it after the 2 business days have passed, reach out to contactus@scoutbags.com. If you contact after 2 or more weeks have passed, there's no guarantee we will be able to successfully work with FedEx and/or USPS to reship or reimburse you for your order.

Please note that SCOUT is not responsible for lost or stolen shipments. You will be responsible for filing a claim with the carrier (FedEx or USPS). Once your claim has been filed, please contact us directly at contactus@scoutbags.com with information regarding your situation and your claim number. If your shipment is held up with your carrier, contact them directly as they may need specific direction on where to deliver your order. In some cases, the carrier will need to update your address which will result in an upcharge. SCOUT is not responsible for paying this upcharge. To avoid the upcharge, ask the carrier to hold the shipment at the nearest location for you to pick up.

Our In the Bag Guarantee is a free one-year guarantee, beginning on the date of purchase on scoutbags.com, which covers product damages/defects. In the event of a valid claim, we will provide you, at our option, either a style replacement or store credit. Style replacements may not be of same original character, color, make or size.
This warranty does not cover product if used in a manner incompatible with the intended design, or if the care instructions provided on scoutbags.com are not followed. Due to our manufacturing process, exact pattern alignment along seams is not guaranteed and therefore not a defect and covered under the warranty.
Please note that third party purchases are not covered by our guarantee; the original scoutbags.com order number and customer information must be provided.
The In the Bag Guarantee covers only:
- Tears, cracks, or rips in fabric that would be considered a defect outside of normal wear & tear.
- Handles that break off or are otherwise no longer usable.
- Zippers that break or can no longer open and close.
Our Guarantee does not cover:
- Used for unusual purposes
- Damage resulting from misuse, neglect, accidents, abrasion, exposure to extreme temperatures, solvents, acids, water, or transport (airline) handling
- Cosmetic damage or any change in the aesthetic appearance due to normal wear and tear, excessive use, or age, such as scratches, scuffs, dings, dents, marks, stains, color change
- Handle weight inaccuracies or failures more than 30 days after purchase
- Fabric wrinkles due to normal wear and tear

-Inexact pattern alignment along seams

Go the extra mile and make your favorite style one of a kind! We offer 4 different type of personalization.

• Single letter
• Name
• Initials
• Icon

Select your type of personalization for $12. Chose the font, letters, and thread color. Preview your personalization on the left-hand size of the product page. If selecting the initials option, sequence initials FIRST, LAST, MIDDLE. Example: Meghan Carole Smith = M (first), S (last), C (middle). In this sequence, the last will be the largest character.

Please note that an additional 5-7 days of processing time will be added to your order.

If you order a personalized product and it is incorrect based on your order details, we will replace it free of charge. If for some reason you do not like your personalized item, we will not be able to accept a return or process a refund for that product. Please keep in mind that the personalized item will not be exactly like the preview as every bag is slightly different.

We provide the Proposition 65 disclaimer to be compliant with the Safe Drinking Water Act of 1986 (California Proposition 65).

The Proposition requires that companies with 10 or more employees selling products to consumers in the State of California provide a “clear and reasonable” warning about the potential exposure to listed chemicals, unless the company can prove that the exposure poses no significant risk of harm.  A Proposition 65 warning means the subject company has either tested the product and determined a warning label is required or elected to provide a warning, out of an abundance of caution, merely because the product contains a listed chemical regardless of whether exposure to the product poses a "risk of significant harm."  A warning has been provided out of an abundance of caution.

The California Office of Environmental Health Hazard Assessment (OEHHA) states on its website: "The fact that a product bears a Proposition 65 warning does not mean by itself that the product is unsafe."
