Refunds (if applicable):

Once your return is received and inspected, we will send you an email to notify you that we have received your returned item. We will also notify you of the approval or rejection of your refund. 
If you are approved, then your refund will be processed.

If you paid with Afterpay or Laybuy a change of mind refund will be minus a portion of the merchant fee that is charged to Animal Kingdoms - This is because these payment providers do not refund the merchant fee on a change of mind transaction (between 4.5% and 5.5%)
