If your package was marked as delivered but you haven't yet received it, we ask you to take the following steps:

- Reach out to your local post office or courier facility.
- Contact us at help@zippervalley.com and include your order number.

Payment
All jokes and puns aside - your privacy and security are our highest priority. We use Shopify Payments, a highly secure and encrypted system designed to protect customers and hold merchants accountable.
On any page where we ask you to enter your address, phone number, or credit card information, Shopify Payments uses a secure socket layer (SSL) to encrypt the communication.
We accept good old-fashioned credit cards including Visa, Mastercard and Amex. Only one credit card may be applied per order. If you're a bit more tech-savvy, we also offer PayPal, Apple Pay, Google Pay and Shop Pay.
If you are using a Zipper Valley-issued gift card, the funds will be removed from your balance at the time your order is placed. Happy shopping!
Did you make your Zipper Valley purchase, and as the payment was loading, you realized (with horror) that you forgot to use your discount? Never fear. That opportunity hasn't slipped away! Simply email us at help@zippervalley.com and we're will be happy to help you.
Please note: You can only use one discount code per order.
Simply head to checkout and type your gift card code in the box labelled "Discount code or gift card". Then make sure to click "Apply"! This is offered before the payment page so you're aware of exactly how much you're paying.
Only one gift card may be applied per order. If you have misplaced your gift card, please email us at help@zippervalley.com and we'll be happy to look into it for you.
Oh no! Let us help.
We recommend refreshing your web browser and clearing your cache and cookies. This may solve issues such as populating a shipping quote, proceeding to the next section at checkout, or adding your credit card information.
If this doesn’t work, we recommend trying to checkout on a different browser, using a different device, or logging out of your account and checking out as a guest.
Some other helpful tips for making sure your order goes through:
- Make sure your postal code or zip code on your credit card details matches the code in your billing address. For security reasons, these two postal codes will need to match for your bank to process the transaction and submit the order.
- Only one method of payment can be used per order. Please note that any third-party gift cards such as AMEX or Visa are considered credit cards, and will need to have a minimum of the full order total available on the card for the funds to process and complete the order.
- While our website does not have a scroll bar, you’re still able to scroll! You can use the arrow keys, or scroll with a mouse that has a scrolling button available. The website can also be navigated using the tab button.
If you’re unsure if your order was processed, we recommend checking your email for an order confirmation before placing a new order on our website.
