It was supposed to arrive on Monday.\n\nReference material:\n\nNORTHWIND OUTFITTERS CUSTOMER POLICY HANDBOOK\nVersion 14. Applies to all orders placed on northwind-outfitters.example.\n\n1. ORDERS\n\n1.1 Order confirmation. Every order receives a confirmation email with an order number of the form NW- followed by six digits. An order is confirmed once payment is authorized. Orders that fail payment authorization are held for 48 hours and then cancelled automatically.\n\n1.2 Changing an order. Customers can change the shipping address, the shipping speed or the size of an item while the order status is \"Received\" or \"Picking\". Once an order reaches \"Packed\", changes are no longer possible; the customer can refuse delivery or return the item instead (see section 3).\n\n1.3 Cancelling an order. Orders can be cancelled without a fee until they reach \"Packed\". Cancellation releases the payment authorization within 3 to 5 business days, depending on the customer's bank. Custom items (engraved carabiners, cut-to-length rope, hemmed trousers) cannot be cancelled once production has started, which is shown as the status \"In production\".\n\n1.4 Split shipments. Orders with items from different warehouses may ship in two or more parcels. Each parcel has its own tracking number. Shipping is charged once per order, never per parcel.\n\n1.5 Backorders. If an item is out of stock after the order is placed, we email the customer with the expected restock date. The customer can wait, switch to a similar item at the same or lower price, or cancel that item for a full refund. Backordered items are not charged until they ship.\n\n1.6 Price changes. If the price of an item drops within 14 days after delivery, customers can request a one-time refund of the difference. This does not apply to clearance items, bundle deals, or prices offered by other retailers.\n\n1.7 Gift orders. Gift orders can include a printed message of up to 200 characters and are packed without a receipt. The gift recipient can exchange items but refunds always go to the original payment method of the buyer.\n\n2. SHIPPING\n\n2.1 Shipping speeds. Standard shipping takes 3 to 7 business days within the contiguous United States. Express takes 1 to 3 business days. Overnight delivers the next business day for orders placed before 12:00 Mountain Time on a business day. Alaska, Hawaii and US territories take 5 to 12 business days for Standard and are not eligible for Overnight.\n\n2.2 Shipping costs. Standard shipping is free on orders of $75.00 or more after discounts; otherwise it costs $6.95. Express costs $14.95. Overnight costs $29.95. Oversized items (tents over 4 kg, packs over 85 litres, kayaks and paddleboards) add a $25.00 surcharge per item, which also applies to orders that otherwise qualify for free shipping.\n\n2.3 International shipping. We ship to Canada, the United Kingdom, the European Union, Australia and New Zealand. International orders take 7 to 15 business days. Duties and taxes are calculated at checkout and included in the price, so the customer pays nothing on delivery. Fuel canisters, bear spray, lithium batteries over 100 Wh and knives with blades longer than 7.5 cm cannot be shipped internationally.\n\n2.4 Tracking. Tracking numbers are emailed when a parcel leaves the warehouse. Tracking can take up to 24 hours to show the first scan. If tracking shows no movement for 5 business days, we open a carrier investigation.\n\n2.5 Lost parcels. A parcel is considered lost if it has not been delivered 10 business days after the latest estimated delivery date, or if the carrier confirms it lost. For lost parcels we send a free replacement by the same shipping speed, or issue a full refund including shipping if the item is out of stock.\n\n2.6 Delivered but not received. If tracking shows \"Delivered\" but the customer hasn't received the parcel, ask them to check with neighbours and around the property and to wait one business day, because carriers sometimes mark parcels delivered early. After that, we open a carrier claim. We replace or refund once the claim is resolved, usually within 7 business days. A second delivered-not-received claim within 12 months requires review by the support lead.\n\n2.7 Damaged in transit. Customers should report visible damage within 7 days of delivery with a photo of the parcel and the item. We send a replacement at no cost and the customer does not need to return the damaged item unless we provide a prepaid label.\n\n2.8 Address errors. If a parcel is returned to us because of an incorrect or incomplete address entered by the customer, we refund the order minus the original shipping cost, or reship it after the customer pays the shipping again.\n\n3. RETURNS AND EXCHANGES\n\n3.1 Return window. Unused items in their original condition can be returned within 30 days of delivery. Members of the Northwind Trail Club have 60 days. The return window for orders delivered between 15 November and 24 December is extended to 31 January of the following year.\n\n3.2 Condition. Items must be unworn, unwashed and unused outdoors, with all tags and packaging. Footwear must be tried on indoors only; soles with dirt or wear are considered used. Tents and sleeping bags must be returned in their original stuff sacks.\n\n3.3 Used gear. Items that have been used outdoors can't be returned for a refund, unless they are faulty (see section 5, Warranty). Customers can trade used Northwind-brand gear in good condition for store credit through the Second Ascent program (section 6).\n\n3.4 Non-returnable items. The following can't be returned unless faulty: custom items, opened fuel canisters, opened food and freeze-dried meals, personal hygiene items (water filters once used, insoles, bite valves), gift cards, and items marked \"final sale\".\n\n3.5 How to return. Customers start a return in their account or through support. We email a prepaid return label. Return shipping costs $7.50, deducted from the refund, except for faulty items, wrong items sent by us, and returns by Trail Club members, which are free.\n\n3.6 Exchanges. Exchanges for a different size or colour of the same item are free, including return shipping. We ship the new item as soon as the return label is first scanned by the carrier. If the new size costs more, the customer pays the difference; if it costs less, we refund the difference.\n\n3.7 Inspection. Returns are inspected within 3 business days after they arrive at our warehouse. If an item fails inspection, we contact the customer and ship it back at no cost, or recycle it with their permission.\n\n4. REFUNDS\n\n4.1 Refund method. Refunds go to the original payment method. Store credit is available instead on request and adds a 10% bonus, except on clearance items.\n\n4.2 Refund timing. We issue the refund within 2 business days after a return passes inspection. Card refunds take 5 to 10 business days to appear on the customer's statement, depending on the bank. PayPal refunds usually appear within 24 hours.\n\n4.3 Partial refunds. Items returned with missing parts or packaging may receive a partial refund of up to 50% of the item price, decided at inspection. We always explain the reason in the refund email.\n\n4.4 Shipping refunds. Original shipping costs are refunded only when the whole order is returned because of our error, a faulty item, or a lost parcel. Express and Overnight surcharges are refunded if the parcel arrived late through no fault of the customer.\n\n4.5 Refund limits for support agents. Support can approve refunds up to the item's purchase price. Goodwill credits are limited to $25.00 per order and one goodwill credit per customer in any 90-day period. Anything larger requires the support lead.\n\n4.6 Chargebacks. If a customer files a chargeback while a return or claim is open, we pause the return and respond to the bank with the case history. We don't issue a second refund for the same item.\n\n5. WARRANTY\n\n5.1 Northwind-brand gear. Northwind-brand products carry a lifetime warranty against defects in materials and workmanship. It covers delamination, seam failure, broken zips and buckles that fail under normal use, and frame or pole breakage that is not caused by an accident.\n\n5.2 What the warranty doesn't cover. Normal wear and tear (faded colours, abrasion, worn soles, pilled fleece), accidents, misuse, damage from animals or fire, improper care (machine-drying down, storing tents wet), and alterations not made by us.\n\n5.3 Other brands. Products from other brands are covered by their manufacturer's warranty. We help customers file a claim and ship the item to the manufacturer at no cost during the first year after delivery.\n\n5.4 Warranty claims. Customers submit a photo of the defect, the order number or proof of purchase, and a short description. We decide within 5 business days. Approved claims receive a repair, a replacement of the same or an equivalent current product, or store credit for the original price if neither is available.\n\n5.5 Repairs. Our repair centre fixes zips, seams, buckles and tent poles. Repairs covered by warranty are free, including shipping both ways. Repairs outside warranty are quoted before any work starts; a typical zip replacement costs $18.00 to $35.00.\n\n5.6 Safety equipment. Climbing harnesses, ropes, helmets and carabiners that have held a fall, been dropped onto hard surfaces, or are older than their manufacturer's retirement age must not be repaired or returned to service. We replace faulty safety equipment but never repair it.\n\n6. SECOND ASCENT TRADE-IN\n\n6.1 Eligibility. Customers can trade in used Northwind-brand jackets, fleeces, packs, tents and sleeping bags that are clean and fully functional. Safety equipment, footwear and base layers aren't accepted.\n\n6.2 Credit. Trade-ins earn store credit of 20% to 40% of the current price, depending on condition grades A (like new), B (light wear) or C (visible wear, fully functional). Credit is issued within 7 business days after the item arrives and expires after 2 years.\n\n7. NORTHWIND TRAIL CLUB\n\n7.1 Membership. Trail Club membership is free. Members get 60-day returns, free return shipping, early access to sales, and one free repair per year outside warranty, up to $40.00 in value.\n\n7.2 Points. Members earn 1 point per dollar spent after discounts. 100 points equal $5.00 in store credit. Points expire 18 months after they are earned. Points are removed when the items they were earned on are returned.\n\n8. PRODUCT CARE AND SIZING\n\n8.1 Down. Wash down jackets and sleeping bags with a down-specific wash on a gentle cycle, then tumble dry on low with two clean tennis balls until completely dry, which can take three hours. Store loose, never compressed.\n\n8.2 Waterproof shells. Wash with a technical cleaner, then reapply a durable water repellent (DWR) treatment when water stops beading. Tumble drying on low heat reactivates the DWR.\n\n8.3 Tents. Dry tents completely before storage to prevent mildew and delamination. Never machine-wash a tent. Store loosely in a cool, dry place.\n\n8.4 Footwear sizing. Our boots run true to size. We recommend trying boots in the evening with the socks you will hike in, leaving a thumb's width of space in front of the longest toe. Half sizes are available from size 6 to 13.\n\n8.5 Clothing sizing. Size charts are on each product page. Between two sizes, choose the larger size for shells and insulation layers worn over other clothing, and the smaller size for base layers.\n\n9. ACCOUNTS AND PRIVACY\n\n9.1 Identity. Support can discuss an order only with the account holder or the email address on the order. Ask for the order number and the email or postcode on the order before sharing order details.\n\n9.2 Personal data. We never share customer data with other customers. Support never reads out full addresses or payment details; confirm addresses by postcode only.\n\n9.3 Account deletion. Customers can request account deletion in their account settings. We keep order records for 7 years for tax purposes, as required by law.\n\n10. ESCALATION\n\n10.1 Hand over to a person when the customer asks for one, when a request exceeds the limits in 4.5, for safety incidents involving equipment failure, for legal threats, and for a second delivered-not-received claim within 12 months.\n\n10.2 When handing over, summarize the case in two or three sentences, including the order number and what the customer wants, so the customer doesn't have to repeat themselves.\n\n11.

COMMON QUESTIONS\n\n12.1 Do we price match? No. We refund price drops on our own site within 14 days of delivery (1.6), but we don't match other retailers.\n\n12.2 Can customers pick up orders? No. We ship all orders from our warehouses in Utah and Pennsylvania and have no retail stores.\n\n12.3 Do we sell rentals or used gear? We sell graded used Northwind gear from the Second Ascent program in a separate \"Used\" section. Used items have a 30-day return window and a 1-year warranty.\n\n12.4 Can a customer combine discount codes? Only one discount code per order. Trail Club points and gift cards can be combined with a discount code.\n\n12.5 Do we offer student or military discounts? Yes, 15% on full-price items after verification through our verification partner. It can't be combined with other discount codes.\n\nExample conversations, showing the expected tone and length.\n\nCustomer: My boots are too small. Can I swap them for a 10.5?\nAssistant: Yes. Exchanges for another size are free, including return shipping, as long as the boots are unworn outdoors (Returns 3.2 and 3.6). Could you share your order number? I'll start the exchange, and we'll ship the 10.5 as soon as the carrier first scans your return.\n\nCustomer: Tracking says delivered yesterday but there's nothing here.\nAssistant: I'm sorry, that's frustrating. Carriers sometimes mark parcels delivered a little early, so please check with neighbours and around your building, and give it until the end of today (Shipping 2.6). If it still hasn't turned up, reply here with your order number and I'll open a carrier claim. We'll replace or refund once it's resolved, usually within 7 business days.\n\nCustomer: The zip on my Northwind down jacket broke after a year.\nAssistant: Broken zips under normal use are covered by our lifetime warranty on Northwind-brand gear (Warranty 5.1). Please send a photo of the zip and your order number, and I'll open a claim. We decide within 5 business days and repair it for free, including shipping both ways.\n\nCustomer: Can you give me 20% off because the jacket went on sale?\nAssistant: If the price dropped within 14 days of delivery, I can refund the difference once (Orders 1.6). Clearance prices and bundle deals are excluded. What's your order number? I'll check the delivery date and the current price.","prefixHash":"9088f9b78b42","firstDiffChars":null,"promptTokens":5414,"cachedTokens":0,"outputTokens":25,"thoughtTokens":0,"firstTokenMs":2304,"totalMs":2305,"answer":"","toolCalls":["lookup_order"]}

Applies to all orders placed on northwind-outfitters.example.\n\n1. ORDERS\n\n1.1 Order confirmation. Every order receives a confirmation email with an order number of the form NW- followed by six digits. An order is confirmed once payment is authorized. Orders that fail payment authorization are held for 48 hours and then cancelled automatically.\n\n1.2 Changing an order. Customers can change the shipping address, the shipping speed or the size of an item while the order status is \"Received\" or \"Picking\". Once an order reaches \"Packed\", changes are no longer possible; the customer can refuse delivery or return the item instead (see section 3).\n\n1.3 Cancelling an order. Orders can be cancelled without a fee until they reach \"Packed\". Cancellation releases the payment authorization within 3 to 5 business days, depending on the customer's bank. Custom items (engraved carabiners, cut-to-length rope, hemmed trousers) cannot be cancelled once production has started, which is shown as the status \"In production\".\n\n1.4 Split shipments. Orders with items from different warehouses may ship in two or more parcels. Each parcel has its own tracking number. Shipping is charged once per order, never per parcel.\n\n1.5 Backorders. If an item is out of stock after the order is placed, we email the customer with the expected restock date. The customer can wait, switch to a similar item at the same or lower price, or cancel that item for a full refund. Backordered items are not charged until they ship.\n\n1.6 Price changes. If the price of an item drops within 14 days after delivery, customers can request a one-time refund of the difference. This does not apply to clearance items, bundle deals, or prices offered by other retailers.\n\n1.7 Gift orders. Gift orders can include a printed message of up to 200 characters and are packed without a receipt. The gift recipient can exchange items but refunds always go to the original payment method of the buyer.\n\n2. SHIPPING\n\n2.1 Shipping speeds. Standard shipping takes 3 to 7 business days within the contiguous United States. Express takes 1 to 3 business days. Overnight delivers the next business day for orders placed before 12:00 Mountain Time on a business day. Alaska, Hawaii and US territories take 5 to 12 business days for Standard and are not eligible for Overnight.\n\n2.2 Shipping costs. Standard shipping is free on orders of $75.00 or more after discounts; otherwise it costs $6.95. Express costs $14.95. Overnight costs $29.95. Oversized items (tents over 4 kg, packs over 85 litres, kayaks and paddleboards) add a $25.00 surcharge per item, which also applies to orders that otherwise qualify for free shipping.\n\n2.3 International shipping. We ship to Canada, the United Kingdom, the European Union, Australia and New Zealand. International orders take 7 to 15 business days. Duties and taxes are calculated at checkout and included in the price, so the customer pays nothing on delivery. Fuel canisters, bear spray, lithium batteries over 100 Wh and knives with blades longer than 7.5 cm cannot be shipped internationally.\n\n2.4 Tracking. Tracking numbers are emailed when a parcel leaves the warehouse. Tracking can take up to 24 hours to show the first scan. If tracking shows no movement for 5 business days, we open a carrier investigation.\n\n2.5 Lost parcels. A parcel is considered lost if it has not been delivered 10 business days after the latest estimated delivery date, or if the carrier confirms it lost. For lost parcels we send a free replacement by the same shipping speed, or issue a full refund including shipping if the item is out of stock.\n\n2.6 Delivered but not received. If tracking shows \"Delivered\" but the customer hasn't received the parcel, ask them to check with neighbours and around the property and to wait one business day, because carriers sometimes mark parcels delivered early. After that, we open a carrier claim. We replace or refund once the claim is resolved, usually within 7 business days. A second delivered-not-received claim within 12 months requires review by the support lead.\n\n2.7 Damaged in transit. Customers should report visible damage within 7 days of delivery with a photo of the parcel and the item. We send a replacement at no cost and the customer does not need to return the damaged item unless we provide a prepaid label.\n\n2.8 Address errors. If a parcel is returned to us because of an incorrect or incomplete address entered by the customer, we refund the order minus the original shipping cost, or reship it after the customer pays the shipping again.\n\n3. RETURNS AND EXCHANGES\n\n3.1 Return window. Unused items in their original condition can be returned within 30 days of delivery. Members of the Northwind Trail Club have 60 days. The return window for orders delivered between 15 November and 24 December is extended to 31 January of the following year.\n\n3.2 Condition. Items must be unworn, unwashed and unused outdoors, with all tags and packaging. Footwear must be tried on indoors only; soles with dirt or wear are considered used. Tents and sleeping bags must be returned in their original stuff sacks.\n\n3.3 Used gear. Items that have been used outdoors can't be returned for a refund, unless they are faulty (see section 5, Warranty). Customers can trade used Northwind-brand gear in good condition for store credit through the Second Ascent program (section 6).\n\n3.4 Non-returnable items. The following can't be returned unless faulty: custom items, opened fuel canisters, opened food and freeze-dried meals, personal hygiene items (water filters once used, insoles, bite valves), gift cards, and items marked \"final sale\".\n\n3.5 How to return. Customers start a return in their account or through support. We email a prepaid return label. Return shipping costs $7.50, deducted from the refund, except for faulty items, wrong items sent by us, and returns by Trail Club members, which are free.\n\n3.6 Exchanges. Exchanges for a different size or colour of the same item are free, including return shipping. We ship the new item as soon as the return label is first scanned by the carrier. If the new size costs more, the customer pays the difference; if it costs less, we refund the difference.\n\n3.7 Inspection. Returns are inspected within 3 business days after they arrive at our warehouse. If an item fails inspection, we contact the customer and ship it back at no cost, or recycle it with their permission.\n\n4. REFUNDS\n\n4.1 Refund method. Refunds go to the original payment method. Store credit is available instead on request and adds a 10% bonus, except on clearance items.\n\n4.2 Refund timing. We issue the refund within 2 business days after a return passes inspection. Card refunds take 5 to 10 business days to appear on the customer's statement, depending on the bank. PayPal refunds usually appear within 24 hours.\n\n4.3 Partial refunds. Items returned with missing parts or packaging may receive a partial refund of up to 50% of the item price, decided at inspection. We always explain the reason in the refund email.\n\n4.4 Shipping refunds. Original shipping costs are refunded only when the whole order is returned because of our error, a faulty item, or a lost parcel. Express and Overnight surcharges are refunded if the parcel arrived late through no fault of the customer.\n\n4.5 Refund limits for support agents. Support can approve refunds up to the item's purchase price. Goodwill credits are limited to $25.00 per order and one goodwill credit per customer in any 90-day period. Anything larger requires the support lead.\n\n4.6 Chargebacks. If a customer files a chargeback while a return or claim is open, we pause the return and respond to the bank with the case history. We don't issue a second refund for the same item.\n\n5. WARRANTY\n\n5.1 Northwind-brand gear. Northwind-brand products carry a lifetime warranty against defects in materials and workmanship. It covers delamination, seam failure, broken zips and buckles that fail under normal use, and frame or pole breakage that is not caused by an accident.\n\n5.2 What the warranty doesn't cover. Normal wear and tear (faded colours, abrasion, worn soles, pilled fleece), accidents, misuse, damage from animals or fire, improper care (machine-drying down, storing tents wet), and alterations not made by us.\n\n5.3 Other brands. Products from other brands are covered by their manufacturer's warranty. We help customers file a claim and ship the item to the manufacturer at no cost during the first year after delivery.\n\n5.4 Warranty claims. Customers submit a photo of the defect, the order number or proof of purchase, and a short description. We decide within 5 business days. Approved claims receive a repair, a replacement of the same or an equivalent current product, or store credit for the original price if neither is available.\n\n5.5 Repairs. Our repair centre fixes zips, seams, buckles and tent poles. Repairs covered by warranty are free, including shipping both ways. Repairs outside warranty are quoted before any work starts; a typical zip replacement costs $18.00 to $35.00.\n\n5.6 Safety equipment. Climbing harnesses, ropes, helmets and carabiners that have held a fall, been dropped onto hard surfaces, or are older than their manufacturer's retirement age must not be repaired or returned to service. We replace faulty safety equipment but never repair it.\n\n6. SECOND ASCENT TRADE-IN\n\n6.1 Eligibility. Customers can trade in used Northwind-brand jackets, fleeces, packs, tents and sleeping bags that are clean and fully functional.

Points are removed when the items they were earned on are returned.\n\n8. PRODUCT CARE AND SIZING\n\n8.1 Down. Wash down jackets and sleeping bags with a down-specific wash on a gentle cycle, then tumble dry on low with two clean tennis balls until completely dry, which can take three hours. Store loose, never compressed.\n\n8.2 Waterproof shells. Wash with a technical cleaner, then reapply a durable water repellent (DWR) treatment when water stops beading. Tumble drying on low heat reactivates the DWR.\n\n8.3 Tents. Dry tents completely before storage to prevent mildew and delamination. Never machine-wash a tent. Store loosely in a cool, dry place.\n\n8.4 Footwear sizing. Our boots run true to size. We recommend trying boots in the evening with the socks you will hike in, leaving a thumb's width of space in front of the longest toe. Half sizes are available from size 6 to 13.\n\n8.5 Clothing sizing. Size charts are on each product page. Between two sizes, choose the larger size for shells and insulation layers worn over other clothing, and the smaller size for base layers.\n\n9. ACCOUNTS AND PRIVACY\n\n9.1 Identity. Support can discuss an order only with the account holder or the email address on the order.

COMMON QUESTIONS\n\n12.1 Do we price match? No. We refund price drops on our own site within 14 days of delivery (1.6), but we don't match other retailers.\n\n12.2 Can customers pick up orders? No. We ship all orders from our warehouses in Utah and Pennsylvania and have no retail stores.\n\n12.3 Do we sell rentals or used gear? We sell graded used Northwind gear from the Second Ascent program in a separate \"Used\" section. Used items have a 30-day return window and a 1-year warranty.\n\n12.4 Can a customer combine discount codes? Only one discount code per order. Trail Club points and gift cards can be combined with a discount code.\n\n12.5 Do we offer student or military discounts? Yes, 15% on full-price items after verification through our verification partner. It can't be combined with other discount codes.\n\nExample conversations, showing the expected tone and length.\n\nCustomer: My boots are too small. Can I swap them for a 10.5?\nAssistant: Yes. Exchanges for another size are free, including return shipping, as long as the boots are unworn outdoors (Returns 3.2 and 3.6). Could you share your order number? I'll start the exchange, and we'll ship the 10.5 as soon as the carrier first scans your return.\n\nCustomer: Tracking says delivered yesterday but there's nothing here.\nAssistant: I'm sorry, that's frustrating. Carriers sometimes mark parcels delivered a little early, so please check with neighbours and around your building, and give it until the end of today (Shipping 2.6). If it still hasn't turned up, reply here with your order number and I'll open a carrier claim. We'll replace or refund once it's resolved, usually within 7 business days.\n\nCustomer: The zip on my Northwind down jacket broke after a year.\nAssistant: Broken zips under normal use are covered by our lifetime warranty on Northwind-brand gear (Warranty 5.1). Please send a photo of the zip and your order number, and I'll open a claim. We decide within 5 business days and repair it for free, including shipping both ways.\n\nCustomer: Can you give me 20% off because the jacket went on sale?\nAssistant: If the price dropped within 14 days of delivery, I can refund the difference once (Orders 1.6). Clearance prices and bundle deals are excluded. What's your order number? I'll check the delivery date and the current price.","prefixHash":"9088f9b78b42","firstDiffChars":4408,"promptTokens":5406,"cachedTokens":0,"outputTokens":151,"thoughtTokens":0,"firstTokenMs":1770,"totalMs":2793,"answer":"No, items that have been used outdoors cannot be returned for a refund unless they are faulty (Returns 3.2 and 3.3).

Can you repair it?\n\nReference material:\n\nNORTHWIND OUTFITTERS CUSTOMER POLICY HANDBOOK\nVersion 14. Applies to all orders placed on northwind-outfitters.example.\n\n1. ORDERS\n\n1.1 Order confirmation. Every order receives a confirmation email with an order number of the form NW- followed by six digits. An order is confirmed once payment is authorized. Orders that fail payment authorization are held for 48 hours and then cancelled automatically.\n\n1.2 Changing an order. Customers can change the shipping address, the shipping speed or the size of an item while the order status is \"Received\" or \"Picking\". Once an order reaches \"Packed\", changes are no longer possible; the customer can refuse delivery or return the item instead (see section 3).\n\n1.3 Cancelling an order. Orders can be cancelled without a fee until they reach \"Packed\". Cancellation releases the payment authorization within 3 to 5 business days, depending on the customer's bank. Custom items (engraved carabiners, cut-to-length rope, hemmed trousers) cannot be cancelled once production has started, which is shown as the status \"In production\".\n\n1.4 Split shipments. Orders with items from different warehouses may ship in two or more parcels. Each parcel has its own tracking number. Shipping is charged once per order, never per parcel.\n\n1.5 Backorders. If an item is out of stock after the order is placed, we email the customer with the expected restock date. The customer can wait, switch to a similar item at the same or lower price, or cancel that item for a full refund. Backordered items are not charged until they ship.\n\n1.6 Price changes. If the price of an item drops within 14 days after delivery, customers can request a one-time refund of the difference. This does not apply to clearance items, bundle deals, or prices offered by other retailers.\n\n1.7 Gift orders. Gift orders can include a printed message of up to 200 characters and are packed without a receipt. The gift recipient can exchange items but refunds always go to the original payment method of the buyer.\n\n2. SHIPPING\n\n2.1 Shipping speeds. Standard shipping takes 3 to 7 business days within the contiguous United States. Express takes 1 to 3 business days. Overnight delivers the next business day for orders placed before 12:00 Mountain Time on a business day. Alaska, Hawaii and US territories take 5 to 12 business days for Standard and are not eligible for Overnight.\n\n2.2 Shipping costs. Standard shipping is free on orders of $75.00 or more after discounts; otherwise it costs $6.95. Express costs $14.95. Overnight costs $29.95. Oversized items (tents over 4 kg, packs over 85 litres, kayaks and paddleboards) add a $25.00 surcharge per item, which also applies to orders that otherwise qualify for free shipping.\n\n2.3 International shipping. We ship to Canada, the United Kingdom, the European Union, Australia and New Zealand. International orders take 7 to 15 business days. Duties and taxes are calculated at checkout and included in the price, so the customer pays nothing on delivery. Fuel canisters, bear spray, lithium batteries over 100 Wh and knives with blades longer than 7.5 cm cannot be shipped internationally.\n\n2.4 Tracking. Tracking numbers are emailed when a parcel leaves the warehouse. Tracking can take up to 24 hours to show the first scan. If tracking shows no movement for 5 business days, we open a carrier investigation.\n\n2.5 Lost parcels. A parcel is considered lost if it has not been delivered 10 business days after the latest estimated delivery date, or if the carrier confirms it lost. For lost parcels we send a free replacement by the same shipping speed, or issue a full refund including shipping if the item is out of stock.\n\n2.6 Delivered but not received. If tracking shows \"Delivered\" but the customer hasn't received the parcel, ask them to check with neighbours and around the property and to wait one business day, because carriers sometimes mark parcels delivered early. After that, we open a carrier claim. We replace or refund once the claim is resolved, usually within 7 business days. A second delivered-not-received claim within 12 months requires review by the support lead.\n\n2.7 Damaged in transit. Customers should report visible damage within 7 days of delivery with a photo of the parcel and the item. We send a replacement at no cost and the customer does not need to return the damaged item unless we provide a prepaid label.\n\n2.8 Address errors. If a parcel is returned to us because of an incorrect or incomplete address entered by the customer, we refund the order minus the original shipping cost, or reship it after the customer pays the shipping again.\n\n3. RETURNS AND EXCHANGES\n\n3.1 Return window. Unused items in their original condition can be returned within 30 days of delivery. Members of the Northwind Trail Club have 60 days. The return window for orders delivered between 15 November and 24 December is extended to 31 January of the following year.\n\n3.2 Condition. Items must be unworn, unwashed and unused outdoors, with all tags and packaging. Footwear must be tried on indoors only; soles with dirt or wear are considered used. Tents and sleeping bags must be returned in their original stuff sacks.\n\n3.3 Used gear. Items that have been used outdoors can't be returned for a refund, unless they are faulty (see section 5, Warranty). Customers can trade used Northwind-brand gear in good condition for store credit through the Second Ascent program (section 6).\n\n3.4 Non-returnable items. The following can't be returned unless faulty: custom items, opened fuel canisters, opened food and freeze-dried meals, personal hygiene items (water filters once used, insoles, bite valves), gift cards, and items marked \"final sale\".\n\n3.5 How to return. Customers start a return in their account or through support. We email a prepaid return label. Return shipping costs $7.50, deducted from the refund, except for faulty items, wrong items sent by us, and returns by Trail Club members, which are free.\n\n3.6 Exchanges. Exchanges for a different size or colour of the same item are free, including return shipping. We ship the new item as soon as the return label is first scanned by the carrier. If the new size costs more, the customer pays the difference; if it costs less, we refund the difference.\n\n3.7 Inspection. Returns are inspected within 3 business days after they arrive at our warehouse. If an item fails inspection, we contact the customer and ship it back at no cost, or recycle it with their permission.\n\n4. REFUNDS\n\n4.1 Refund method. Refunds go to the original payment method. Store credit is available instead on request and adds a 10% bonus, except on clearance items.\n\n4.2 Refund timing. We issue the refund within 2 business days after a return passes inspection. Card refunds take 5 to 10 business days to appear on the customer's statement, depending on the bank. PayPal refunds usually appear within 24 hours.\n\n4.3 Partial refunds. Items returned with missing parts or packaging may receive a partial refund of up to 50% of the item price, decided at inspection. We always explain the reason in the refund email.\n\n4.4 Shipping refunds. Original shipping costs are refunded only when the whole order is returned because of our error, a faulty item, or a lost parcel. Express and Overnight surcharges are refunded if the parcel arrived late through no fault of the customer.\n\n4.5 Refund limits for support agents. Support can approve refunds up to the item's purchase price. Goodwill credits are limited to $25.00 per order and one goodwill credit per customer in any 90-day period. Anything larger requires the support lead.\n\n4.6 Chargebacks. If a customer files a chargeback while a return or claim is open, we pause the return and respond to the bank with the case history. We don't issue a second refund for the same item.\n\n5. WARRANTY\n\n5.1 Northwind-brand gear. Northwind-brand products carry a lifetime warranty against defects in materials and workmanship. It covers delamination, seam failure, broken zips and buckles that fail under normal use, and frame or pole breakage that is not caused by an accident.\n\n5.2 What the warranty doesn't cover. Normal wear and tear (faded colours, abrasion, worn soles, pilled fleece), accidents, misuse, damage from animals or fire, improper care (machine-drying down, storing tents wet), and alterations not made by us.\n\n5.3 Other brands. Products from other brands are covered by their manufacturer's warranty. We help customers file a claim and ship the item to the manufacturer at no cost during the first year after delivery.\n\n5.4 Warranty claims. Customers submit a photo of the defect, the order number or proof of purchase, and a short description. We decide within 5 business days. Approved claims receive a repair, a replacement of the same or an equivalent current product, or store credit for the original price if neither is available.\n\n5.5 Repairs. Our repair centre fixes zips, seams, buckles and tent poles. Repairs covered by warranty are free, including shipping both ways. Repairs outside warranty are quoted before any work starts; a typical zip replacement costs $18.00 to $35.00.\n\n5.6 Safety equipment. Climbing harnesses, ropes, helmets and carabiners that have held a fall, been dropped onto hard surfaces, or are older than their manufacturer's retirement age must not be repaired or returned to service. We replace faulty safety equipment but never repair it.\n\n6. SECOND ASCENT TRADE-IN\n\n6.1 Eligibility. Customers can trade in used Northwind-brand jackets, fleeces, packs, tents and sleeping bags that are clean and fully functional. Safety equipment, footwear and base layers aren't accepted.\n\n6.2 Credit. Trade-ins earn store credit of 20% to 40% of the current price, depending on condition grades A (like new), B (light wear) or C (visible wear, fully functional). Credit is issued within 7 business days after the item arrives and expires after 2 years.\n\n7. NORTHWIND TRAIL CLUB\n\n7.1 Membership. Trail Club membership is free. Members get 60-day returns, free return shipping, early access to sales, and one free repair per year outside warranty, up to $40.00 in value.\n\n7.2 Points. Members earn 1 point per dollar spent after discounts. 100 points equal $5.00 in store credit. Points expire 18 months after they are earned. Points are removed when the items they were earned on are returned.\n\n8. PRODUCT CARE AND SIZING\n\n8.1 Down. Wash down jackets and sleeping bags with a down-specific wash on a gentle cycle, then tumble dry on low with two clean tennis balls until completely dry, which can take three hours. Store loose, never compressed.\n\n8.2 Waterproof shells. Wash with a technical cleaner, then reapply a durable water repellent (DWR) treatment when water stops beading. Tumble drying on low heat reactivates the DWR.\n\n8.3 Tents. Dry tents completely before storage to prevent mildew and delamination. Never machine-wash a tent. Store loosely in a cool, dry place.\n\n8.4 Footwear sizing. Our boots run true to size. We recommend trying boots in the evening with the socks you will hike in, leaving a thumb's width of space in front of the longest toe. Half sizes are available from size 6 to 13.\n\n8.5 Clothing sizing. Size charts are on each product page. Between two sizes, choose the larger size for shells and insulation layers worn over other clothing, and the smaller size for base layers.\n\n9. ACCOUNTS AND PRIVACY\n\n9.1 Identity. Support can discuss an order only with the account holder or the email address on the order. Ask for the order number and the email or postcode on the order before sharing order details.\n\n9.2 Personal data. We never share customer data with other customers. Support never reads out full addresses or payment details; confirm addresses by postcode only.\n\n9.3 Account deletion. Customers can request account deletion in their account settings. We keep order records for 7 years for tax purposes, as required by law.\n\n10. ESCALATION\n\n10.1 Hand over to a person when the customer asks for one, when a request exceeds the limits in 4.5, for safety incidents involving equipment failure, for legal threats, and for a second delivered-not-received claim within 12 months.\n\n10.2 When handing over, summarize the case in two or three sentences, including the order number and what the customer wants, so the customer doesn't have to repeat themselves.\n\n11.

Return shipping costs $7.50, deducted from the refund, except for faulty items, wrong items sent by us, and returns by Trail Club members, which are free.\n\n3.6 Exchanges. Exchanges for a different size or colour of the same item are free, including return shipping. We ship the new item as soon as the return label is first scanned by the carrier. If the new size costs more, the customer pays the difference; if it costs less, we refund the difference.\n\n3.7 Inspection. Returns are inspected within 3 business days after they arrive at our warehouse. If an item fails inspection, we contact the customer and ship it back at no cost, or recycle it with their permission.\n\n4. REFUNDS\n\n4.1 Refund method. Refunds go to the original payment method. Store credit is available instead on request and adds a 10% bonus, except on clearance items.\n\n4.2 Refund timing. We issue the refund within 2 business days after a return passes inspection. Card refunds take 5 to 10 business days to appear on the customer's statement, depending on the bank. PayPal refunds usually appear within 24 hours.\n\n4.3 Partial refunds. Items returned with missing parts or packaging may receive a partial refund of up to 50% of the item price, decided at inspection. We always explain the reason in the refund email.\n\n4.4 Shipping refunds. Original shipping costs are refunded only when the whole order is returned because of our error, a faulty item, or a lost parcel. Express and Overnight surcharges are refunded if the parcel arrived late through no fault of the customer.\n\n4.5 Refund limits for support agents. Support can approve refunds up to the item's purchase price. Goodwill credits are limited to $25.00 per order and one goodwill credit per customer in any 90-day period. Anything larger requires the support lead.\n\n4.6 Chargebacks. If a customer files a chargeback while a return or claim is open, we pause the return and respond to the bank with the case history. We don't issue a second refund for the same item.\n\n5. WARRANTY\n\n5.1 Northwind-brand gear. Northwind-brand products carry a lifetime warranty against defects in materials and workmanship. It covers delamination, seam failure, broken zips and buckles that fail under normal use, and frame or pole breakage that is not caused by an accident.\n\n5.2 What the warranty doesn't cover. Normal wear and tear (faded colours, abrasion, worn soles, pilled fleece), accidents, misuse, damage from animals or fire, improper care (machine-drying down, storing tents wet), and alterations not made by us.\n\n5.3 Other brands. Products from other brands are covered by their manufacturer's warranty. We help customers file a claim and ship the item to the manufacturer at no cost during the first year after delivery.\n\n5.4 Warranty claims. Customers submit a photo of the defect, the order number or proof of purchase, and a short description. We decide within 5 business days. Approved claims receive a repair, a replacement of the same or an equivalent current product, or store credit for the original price if neither is available.\n\n5.5 Repairs. Our repair centre fixes zips, seams, buckles and tent poles. Repairs covered by warranty are free, including shipping both ways. Repairs outside warranty are quoted before any work starts; a typical zip replacement costs $18.00 to $35.00.\n\n5.6 Safety equipment. Climbing harnesses, ropes, helmets and carabiners that have held a fall, been dropped onto hard surfaces, or are older than their manufacturer's retirement age must not be repaired or returned to service. We replace faulty safety equipment but never repair it.\n\n6. SECOND ASCENT TRADE-IN\n\n6.1 Eligibility. Customers can trade in used Northwind-brand jackets, fleeces, packs, tents and sleeping bags that are clean and fully functional. Safety equipment, footwear and base layers aren't accepted.\n\n6.2 Credit. Trade-ins earn store credit of 20% to 40% of the current price, depending on condition grades A (like new), B (light wear) or C (visible wear, fully functional). Credit is issued within 7 business days after the item arrives and expires after 2 years.\n\n7. NORTHWIND TRAIL CLUB\n\n7.1 Membership. Trail Club membership is free. Members get 60-day returns, free return shipping, early access to sales, and one free repair per year outside warranty, up to $40.00 in value.\n\n7.2 Points. Members earn 1 point per dollar spent after discounts. 100 points equal $5.00 in store credit. Points expire 18 months after they are earned. Points are removed when the items they were earned on are returned.\n\n8. PRODUCT CARE AND SIZING\n\n8.1 Down. Wash down jackets and sleeping bags with a down-specific wash on a gentle cycle, then tumble dry on low with two clean tennis balls until completely dry, which can take three hours. Store loose, never compressed.\n\n8.2 Waterproof shells. Wash with a technical cleaner, then reapply a durable water repellent (DWR) treatment when water stops beading. Tumble drying on low heat reactivates the DWR.\n\n8.3 Tents. Dry tents completely before storage to prevent mildew and delamination. Never machine-wash a tent. Store loosely in a cool, dry place.\n\n8.4 Footwear sizing. Our boots run true to size. We recommend trying boots in the evening with the socks you will hike in, leaving a thumb's width of space in front of the longest toe. Half sizes are available from size 6 to 13.\n\n8.5 Clothing sizing. Size charts are on each product page. Between two sizes, choose the larger size for shells and insulation layers worn over other clothing, and the smaller size for base layers.\n\n9. ACCOUNTS AND PRIVACY\n\n9.1 Identity. Support can discuss an order only with the account holder or the email address on the order. Ask for the order number and the email or postcode on the order before sharing order details.\n\n9.2 Personal data. We never share customer data with other customers. Support never reads out full addresses or payment details; confirm addresses by postcode only.\n\n9.3 Account deletion. Customers can request account deletion in their account settings. We keep order records for 7 years for tax purposes, as required by law.\n\n10. ESCALATION\n\n10.1 Hand over to a person when the customer asks for one, when a request exceeds the limits in 4.5, for safety incidents involving equipment failure, for legal threats, and for a second delivered-not-received claim within 12 months.\n\n10.2 When handing over, summarize the case in two or three sentences, including the order number and what the customer wants, so the customer doesn't have to repeat themselves.\n\n11.

COMMON QUESTIONS\n\n12.1 Do we price match? No. We refund price drops on our own site within 14 days of delivery (1.6), but we don't match other retailers.\n\n12.2 Can customers pick up orders? No. We ship all orders from our warehouses in Utah and Pennsylvania and have no retail stores.\n\n12.3 Do we sell rentals or used gear? We sell graded used Northwind gear from the Second Ascent program in a separate \"Used\" section. Used items have a 30-day return window and a 1-year warranty.\n\n12.4 Can a customer combine discount codes? Only one discount code per order. Trail Club points and gift cards can be combined with a discount code.\n\n12.5 Do we offer student or military discounts? Yes, 15% on full-price items after verification through our verification partner. It can't be combined with other discount codes.\n\nExample conversations, showing the expected tone and length.\n\nCustomer: My boots are too small. Can I swap them for a 10.5?\nAssistant: Yes. Exchanges for another size are free, including return shipping, as long as the boots are unworn outdoors (Returns 3.2 and 3.6). Could you share your order number? I'll start the exchange, and we'll ship the 10.5 as soon as the carrier first scans your return.\n\nCustomer: Tracking says delivered yesterday but there's nothing here.\nAssistant: I'm sorry, that's frustrating. Carriers sometimes mark parcels delivered a little early, so please check with neighbours and around your building, and give it until the end of today (Shipping 2.6). If it still hasn't turned up, reply here with your order number and I'll open a carrier claim. We'll replace or refund once it's resolved, usually within 7 business days.\n\nCustomer: The zip on my Northwind down jacket broke after a year.\nAssistant: Broken zips under normal use are covered by our lifetime warranty on Northwind-brand gear (Warranty 5.1). Please send a photo of the zip and your order number, and I'll open a claim. We decide within 5 business days and repair it for free, including shipping both ways.\n\nCustomer: Can you give me 20% off because the jacket went on sale?\nAssistant: If the price dropped within 14 days of delivery, I can refund the difference once (Orders 1.6).

Applies to all orders placed on northwind-outfitters.example.\n\n1. ORDERS\n\n1.1 Order confirmation. Every order receives a confirmation email with an order number of the form NW- followed by six digits. An order is confirmed once payment is authorized. Orders that fail payment authorization are held for 48 hours and then cancelled automatically.\n\n1.2 Changing an order. Customers can change the shipping address, the shipping speed or the size of an item while the order status is \"Received\" or \"Picking\". Once an order reaches \"Packed\", changes are no longer possible; the customer can refuse delivery or return the item instead (see section 3).\n\n1.3 Cancelling an order. Orders can be cancelled without a fee until they reach \"Packed\". Cancellation releases the payment authorization within 3 to 5 business days, depending on the customer's bank. Custom items (engraved carabiners, cut-to-length rope, hemmed trousers) cannot be cancelled once production has started, which is shown as the status \"In production\".\n\n1.4 Split shipments. Orders with items from different warehouses may ship in two or more parcels. Each parcel has its own tracking number. Shipping is charged once per order, never per parcel.\n\n1.5 Backorders. If an item is out of stock after the order is placed, we email the customer with the expected restock date. The customer can wait, switch to a similar item at the same or lower price, or cancel that item for a full refund. Backordered items are not charged until they ship.\n\n1.6 Price changes. If the price of an item drops within 14 days after delivery, customers can request a one-time refund of the difference. This does not apply to clearance items, bundle deals, or prices offered by other retailers.\n\n1.7 Gift orders. Gift orders can include a printed message of up to 200 characters and are packed without a receipt. The gift recipient can exchange items but refunds always go to the original payment method of the buyer.\n\n2. SHIPPING\n\n2.1 Shipping speeds. Standard shipping takes 3 to 7 business days within the contiguous United States. Express takes 1 to 3 business days. Overnight delivers the next business day for orders placed before 12:00 Mountain Time on a business day. Alaska, Hawaii and US territories take 5 to 12 business days for Standard and are not eligible for Overnight.\n\n2.2 Shipping costs. Standard shipping is free on orders of $75.00 or more after discounts; otherwise it costs $6.95. Express costs $14.95. Overnight costs $29.95. Oversized items (tents over 4 kg, packs over 85 litres, kayaks and paddleboards) add a $25.00 surcharge per item, which also applies to orders that otherwise qualify for free shipping.\n\n2.3 International shipping. We ship to Canada, the United Kingdom, the European Union, Australia and New Zealand. International orders take 7 to 15 business days. Duties and taxes are calculated at checkout and included in the price, so the customer pays nothing on delivery. Fuel canisters, bear spray, lithium batteries over 100 Wh and knives with blades longer than 7.5 cm cannot be shipped internationally.\n\n2.4 Tracking. Tracking numbers are emailed when a parcel leaves the warehouse. Tracking can take up to 24 hours to show the first scan. If tracking shows no movement for 5 business days, we open a carrier investigation.\n\n2.5 Lost parcels. A parcel is considered lost if it has not been delivered 10 business days after the latest estimated delivery date, or if the carrier confirms it lost. For lost parcels we send a free replacement by the same shipping speed, or issue a full refund including shipping if the item is out of stock.\n\n2.6 Delivered but not received. If tracking shows \"Delivered\" but the customer hasn't received the parcel, ask them to check with neighbours and around the property and to wait one business day, because carriers sometimes mark parcels delivered early. After that, we open a carrier claim. We replace or refund once the claim is resolved, usually within 7 business days. A second delivered-not-received claim within 12 months requires review by the support lead.\n\n2.7 Damaged in transit. Customers should report visible damage within 7 days of delivery with a photo of the parcel and the item. We send a replacement at no cost and the customer does not need to return the damaged item unless we provide a prepaid label.\n\n2.8 Address errors. If a parcel is returned to us because of an incorrect or incomplete address entered by the customer, we refund the order minus the original shipping cost, or reship it after the customer pays the shipping again.\n\n3. RETURNS AND EXCHANGES\n\n3.1 Return window. Unused items in their original condition can be returned within 30 days of delivery. Members of the Northwind Trail Club have 60 days. The return window for orders delivered between 15 November and 24 December is extended to 31 January of the following year.\n\n3.2 Condition. Items must be unworn, unwashed and unused outdoors, with all tags and packaging. Footwear must be tried on indoors only; soles with dirt or wear are considered used. Tents and sleeping bags must be returned in their original stuff sacks.\n\n3.3 Used gear. Items that have been used outdoors can't be returned for a refund, unless they are faulty (see section 5, Warranty).

The following can't be returned unless faulty: custom items, opened fuel canisters, opened food and freeze-dried meals, personal hygiene items (water filters once used, insoles, bite valves), gift cards, and items marked \"final sale\".\n\n3.5 How to return. Customers start a return in their account or through support. We email a prepaid return label. Return shipping costs $7.50, deducted from the refund, except for faulty items, wrong items sent by us, and returns by Trail Club members, which are free.\n\n3.6 Exchanges. Exchanges for a different size or colour of the same item are free, including return shipping. We ship the new item as soon as the return label is first scanned by the carrier. If the new size costs more, the customer pays the difference; if it costs less, we refund the difference.\n\n3.7 Inspection. Returns are inspected within 3 business days after they arrive at our warehouse. If an item fails inspection, we contact the customer and ship it back at no cost, or recycle it with their permission.\n\n4. REFUNDS\n\n4.1 Refund method. Refunds go to the original payment method.

ORDERS\n\n1.1 Order confirmation. Every order receives a confirmation email with an order number of the form NW- followed by six digits. An order is confirmed once payment is authorized. Orders that fail payment authorization are held for 48 hours and then cancelled automatically.\n\n1.2 Changing an order. Customers can change the shipping address, the shipping speed or the size of an item while the order status is \"Received\" or \"Picking\". Once an order reaches \"Packed\", changes are no longer possible; the customer can refuse delivery or return the item instead (see section 3).\n\n1.3 Cancelling an order. Orders can be cancelled without a fee until they reach \"Packed\". Cancellation releases the payment authorization within 3 to 5 business days, depending on the customer's bank. Custom items (engraved carabiners, cut-to-length rope, hemmed trousers) cannot be cancelled once production has started, which is shown as the status \"In production\".\n\n1.4 Split shipments. Orders with items from different warehouses may ship in two or more parcels. Each parcel has its own tracking number. Shipping is charged once per order, never per parcel.\n\n1.5 Backorders. If an item is out of stock after the order is placed, we email the customer with the expected restock date. The customer can wait, switch to a similar item at the same or lower price, or cancel that item for a full refund. Backordered items are not charged until they ship.\n\n1.6 Price changes. If the price of an item drops within 14 days after delivery, customers can request a one-time refund of the difference. This does not apply to clearance items, bundle deals, or prices offered by other retailers.\n\n1.7 Gift orders. Gift orders can include a printed message of up to 200 characters and are packed without a receipt. The gift recipient can exchange items but refunds always go to the original payment method of the buyer.\n\n2. SHIPPING\n\n2.1 Shipping speeds. Standard shipping takes 3 to 7 business days within the contiguous United States. Express takes 1 to 3 business days. Overnight delivers the next business day for orders placed before 12:00 Mountain Time on a business day. Alaska, Hawaii and US territories take 5 to 12 business days for Standard and are not eligible for Overnight.\n\n2.2 Shipping costs. Standard shipping is free on orders of $75.00 or more after discounts; otherwise it costs $6.95. Express costs $14.95. Overnight costs $29.95. Oversized items (tents over 4 kg, packs over 85 litres, kayaks and paddleboards) add a $25.00 surcharge per item, which also applies to orders that otherwise qualify for free shipping.\n\n2.3 International shipping. We ship to Canada, the United Kingdom, the European Union, Australia and New Zealand. International orders take 7 to 15 business days. Duties and taxes are calculated at checkout and included in the price, so the customer pays nothing on delivery. Fuel canisters, bear spray, lithium batteries over 100 Wh and knives with blades longer than 7.5 cm cannot be shipped internationally.\n\n2.4 Tracking. Tracking numbers are emailed when a parcel leaves the warehouse. Tracking can take up to 24 hours to show the first scan. If tracking shows no movement for 5 business days, we open a carrier investigation.\n\n2.5 Lost parcels. A parcel is considered lost if it has not been delivered 10 business days after the latest estimated delivery date, or if the carrier confirms it lost. For lost parcels we send a free replacement by the same shipping speed, or issue a full refund including shipping if the item is out of stock.\n\n2.6 Delivered but not received. If tracking shows \"Delivered\" but the customer hasn't received the parcel, ask them to check with neighbours and around the property and to wait one business day, because carriers sometimes mark parcels delivered early. After that, we open a carrier claim. We replace or refund once the claim is resolved, usually within 7 business days. A second delivered-not-received claim within 12 months requires review by the support lead.\n\n2.7 Damaged in transit. Customers should report visible damage within 7 days of delivery with a photo of the parcel and the item. We send a replacement at no cost and the customer does not need to return the damaged item unless we provide a prepaid label.\n\n2.8 Address errors. If a parcel is returned to us because of an incorrect or incomplete address entered by the customer, we refund the order minus the original shipping cost, or reship it after the customer pays the shipping again.\n\n3. RETURNS AND EXCHANGES\n\n3.1 Return window. Unused items in their original condition can be returned within 30 days of delivery. Members of the Northwind Trail Club have 60 days. The return window for orders delivered between 15 November and 24 December is extended to 31 January of the following year.\n\n3.2 Condition. Items must be unworn, unwashed and unused outdoors, with all tags and packaging. Footwear must be tried on indoors only; soles with dirt or wear are considered used. Tents and sleeping bags must be returned in their original stuff sacks.\n\n3.3 Used gear. Items that have been used outdoors can't be returned for a refund, unless they are faulty (see section 5, Warranty). Customers can trade used Northwind-brand gear in good condition for store credit through the Second Ascent program (section 6).\n\n3.4 Non-returnable items. The following can't be returned unless faulty: custom items, opened fuel canisters, opened food and freeze-dried meals, personal hygiene items (water filters once used, insoles, bite valves), gift cards, and items marked \"final sale\".\n\n3.5 How to return. Customers start a return in their account or through support. We email a prepaid return label. Return shipping costs $7.50, deducted from the refund, except for faulty items, wrong items sent by us, and returns by Trail Club members, which are free.\n\n3.6 Exchanges. Exchanges for a different size or colour of the same item are free, including return shipping. We ship the new item as soon as the return label is first scanned by the carrier. If the new size costs more, the customer pays the difference; if it costs less, we refund the difference.\n\n3.7 Inspection. Returns are inspected within 3 business days after they arrive at our warehouse. If an item fails inspection, we contact the customer and ship it back at no cost, or recycle it with their permission.\n\n4. REFUNDS\n\n4.1 Refund method. Refunds go to the original payment method. Store credit is available instead on request and adds a 10% bonus, except on clearance items.\n\n4.2 Refund timing. We issue the refund within 2 business days after a return passes inspection. Card refunds take 5 to 10 business days to appear on the customer's statement, depending on the bank. PayPal refunds usually appear within 24 hours.\n\n4.3 Partial refunds. Items returned with missing parts or packaging may receive a partial refund of up to 50% of the item price, decided at inspection. We always explain the reason in the refund email.\n\n4.4 Shipping refunds. Original shipping costs are refunded only when the whole order is returned because of our error, a faulty item, or a lost parcel. Express and Overnight surcharges are refunded if the parcel arrived late through no fault of the customer.\n\n4.5 Refund limits for support agents. Support can approve refunds up to the item's purchase price. Goodwill credits are limited to $25.00 per order and one goodwill credit per customer in any 90-day period. Anything larger requires the support lead.\n\n4.6 Chargebacks. If a customer files a chargeback while a return or claim is open, we pause the return and respond to the bank with the case history. We don't issue a second refund for the same item.\n\n5. WARRANTY\n\n5.1 Northwind-brand gear. Northwind-brand products carry a lifetime warranty against defects in materials and workmanship. It covers delamination, seam failure, broken zips and buckles that fail under normal use, and frame or pole breakage that is not caused by an accident.\n\n5.2 What the warranty doesn't cover. Normal wear and tear (faded colours, abrasion, worn soles, pilled fleece), accidents, misuse, damage from animals or fire, improper care (machine-drying down, storing tents wet), and alterations not made by us.\n\n5.3 Other brands. Products from other brands are covered by their manufacturer's warranty. We help customers file a claim and ship the item to the manufacturer at no cost during the first year after delivery.\n\n5.4 Warranty claims. Customers submit a photo of the defect, the order number or proof of purchase, and a short description. We decide within 5 business days. Approved claims receive a repair, a replacement of the same or an equivalent current product, or store credit for the original price if neither is available.\n\n5.5 Repairs. Our repair centre fixes zips, seams, buckles and tent poles. Repairs covered by warranty are free, including shipping both ways. Repairs outside warranty are quoted before any work starts; a typical zip replacement costs $18.00 to $35.00.\n\n5.6 Safety equipment. Climbing harnesses, ropes, helmets and carabiners that have held a fall, been dropped onto hard surfaces, or are older than their manufacturer's retirement age must not be repaired or returned to service. We replace faulty safety equipment but never repair it.\n\n6. SECOND ASCENT TRADE-IN\n\n6.1 Eligibility. Customers can trade in used Northwind-brand jackets, fleeces, packs, tents and sleeping bags that are clean and fully functional. Safety equipment, footwear and base layers aren't accepted.\n\n6.2 Credit. Trade-ins earn store credit of 20% to 40% of the current price, depending on condition grades A (like new), B (light wear) or C (visible wear, fully functional). Credit is issued within 7 business days after the item arrives and expires after 2 years.\n\n7. NORTHWIND TRAIL CLUB\n\n7.1 Membership. Trail Club membership is free. Members get 60-day returns, free return shipping, early access to sales, and one free repair per year outside warranty, up to $40.00 in value.\n\n7.2 Points. Members earn 1 point per dollar spent after discounts. 100 points equal $5.00 in store credit. Points expire 18 months after they are earned. Points are removed when the items they were earned on are returned.\n\n8. PRODUCT CARE AND SIZING\n\n8.1 Down. Wash down jackets and sleeping bags with a down-specific wash on a gentle cycle, then tumble dry on low with two clean tennis balls until completely dry, which can take three hours. Store loose, never compressed.\n\n8.2 Waterproof shells. Wash with a technical cleaner, then reapply a durable water repellent (DWR) treatment when water stops beading. Tumble drying on low heat reactivates the DWR.\n\n8.3 Tents. Dry tents completely before storage to prevent mildew and delamination. Never machine-wash a tent. Store loosely in a cool, dry place.\n\n8.4 Footwear sizing. Our boots run true to size. We recommend trying boots in the evening with the socks you will hike in, leaving a thumb's width of space in front of the longest toe. Half sizes are available from size 6 to 13.\n\n8.5 Clothing sizing. Size charts are on each product page. Between two sizes, choose the larger size for shells and insulation layers worn over other clothing, and the smaller size for base layers.\n\n9. ACCOUNTS AND PRIVACY\n\n9.1 Identity. Support can discuss an order only with the account holder or the email address on the order. Ask for the order number and the email or postcode on the order before sharing order details.\n\n9.2 Personal data. We never share customer data with other customers. Support never reads out full addresses or payment details; confirm addresses by postcode only.\n\n9.3 Account deletion. Customers can request account deletion in their account settings. We keep order records for 7 years for tax purposes, as required by law.\n\n10. ESCALATION\n\n10.1 Hand over to a person when the customer asks for one, when a request exceeds the limits in 4.5, for safety incidents involving equipment failure, for legal threats, and for a second delivered-not-received claim within 12 months.\n\n10.2 When handing over, summarize the case in two or three sentences, including the order number and what the customer wants, so the customer doesn't have to repeat themselves.\n\n11.

I'll start the exchange, and we'll ship the 10.5 as soon as the carrier first scans your return.\n\nCustomer: Tracking says delivered yesterday but there's nothing here.\nAssistant: I'm sorry, that's frustrating. Carriers sometimes mark parcels delivered a little early, so please check with neighbours and around your building, and give it until the end of today (Shipping 2.6). If it still hasn't turned up, reply here with your order number and I'll open a carrier claim. We'll replace or refund once it's resolved, usually within 7 business days.\n\nCustomer: The zip on my Northwind down jacket broke after a year.\nAssistant: Broken zips under normal use are covered by our lifetime warranty on Northwind-brand gear (Warranty 5.1). Please send a photo of the zip and your order number, and I'll open a claim. We decide within 5 business days and repair it for free, including shipping both ways.\n\nCustomer: Can you give me 20% off because the jacket went on sale?\nAssistant: If the price dropped within 14 days of delivery, I can refund the difference once (Orders 1.6).

COMMON QUESTIONS\n\n12.1 Do we price match? No. We refund price drops on our own site within 14 days of delivery (1.6), but we don't match other retailers.\n\n12.2 Can customers pick up orders? No. We ship all orders from our warehouses in Utah and Pennsylvania and have no retail stores.\n\n12.3 Do we sell rentals or used gear? We sell graded used Northwind gear from the Second Ascent program in a separate \"Used\" section. Used items have a 30-day return window and a 1-year warranty.\n\n12.4 Can a customer combine discount codes? Only one discount code per order. Trail Club points and gift cards can be combined with a discount code.\n\n12.5 Do we offer student or military discounts? Yes, 15% on full-price items after verification through our verification partner. It can't be combined with other discount codes.\n\nExample conversations, showing the expected tone and length.\n\nCustomer: My boots are too small. Can I swap them for a 10.5?\nAssistant: Yes. Exchanges for another size are free, including return shipping, as long as the boots are unworn outdoors (Returns 3.2 and 3.6). Could you share your order number? I'll start the exchange, and we'll ship the 10.5 as soon as the carrier first scans your return.\n\nCustomer: Tracking says delivered yesterday but there's nothing here.\nAssistant: I'm sorry, that's frustrating. Carriers sometimes mark parcels delivered a little early, so please check with neighbours and around your building, and give it until the end of today (Shipping 2.6). If it still hasn't turned up, reply here with your order number and I'll open a carrier claim. We'll replace or refund once it's resolved, usually within 7 business days.\n\nCustomer: The zip on my Northwind down jacket broke after a year.\nAssistant: Broken zips under normal use are covered by our lifetime warranty on Northwind-brand gear (Warranty 5.1). Please send a photo of the zip and your order number, and I'll open a claim. We decide within 5 business days and repair it for free, including shipping both ways.\n\nCustomer: Can you give me 20% off because the jacket went on sale?\nAssistant: If the price dropped within 14 days of delivery, I can refund the difference once (Orders 1.6). Clearance prices and bundle deals are excluded. What's your order number? I'll check the delivery date and the current price.","prefixHash":"9088f9b78b42","firstDiffChars":4408,"promptTokens":5408,"cachedTokens":0,"outputTokens":110,"thoughtTokens":0,"firstTokenMs":1933,"totalMs":2713,"answer":"If your pack arrived damaged, please report it within 7 days of delivery with a photo of the parcel and the damaged item (Shipping 2.7).

{"type":"request","layout":"question-first","i":8,"at":"2026-10-07T02:18:44.546Z","question":"Question: Can I change the address on order NW-118920? It says Picking.\n\nReference material:\n\nNORTHWIND OUTFITTERS CUSTOMER POLICY HANDBOOK\nVersion 14. Applies to all orders placed on northwind-outfitters.example.\n\n1. ORDERS\n\n1.1 Order confirmation. Every order receives a confirmation email with an order number of the form NW- followed by six digits. An order is confirmed once payment is authorized. Orders that fail payment authorization are held for 48 hours and then cancelled automatically.\n\n1.2 Changing an order. Customers can change the shipping address, the shipping speed or the size of an item while the order status is \"Received\" or \"Picking\". Once an order reaches \"Packed\", changes are no longer possible; the customer can refuse delivery or return the item instead (see section 3).\n\n1.3 Cancelling an order. Orders can be cancelled without a fee until they reach \"Packed\". Cancellation releases the payment authorization within 3 to 5 business days, depending on the customer's bank. Custom items (engraved carabiners, cut-to-length rope, hemmed trousers) cannot be cancelled once production has started, which is shown as the status \"In production\".\n\n1.4 Split shipments. Orders with items from different warehouses may ship in two or more parcels. Each parcel has its own tracking number. Shipping is charged once per order, never per parcel.\n\n1.5 Backorders. If an item is out of stock after the order is placed, we email the customer with the expected restock date. The customer can wait, switch to a similar item at the same or lower price, or cancel that item for a full refund. Backordered items are not charged until they ship.\n\n1.6 Price changes. If the price of an item drops within 14 days after delivery, customers can request a one-time refund of the difference. This does not apply to clearance items, bundle deals, or prices offered by other retailers.\n\n1.7 Gift orders. Gift orders can include a printed message of up to 200 characters and are packed without a receipt. The gift recipient can exchange items but refunds always go to the original payment method of the buyer.\n\n2. SHIPPING\n\n2.1 Shipping speeds. Standard shipping takes 3 to 7 business days within the contiguous United States. Express takes 1 to 3 business days. Overnight delivers the next business day for orders placed before 12:00 Mountain Time on a business day. Alaska, Hawaii and US territories take 5 to 12 business days for Standard and are not eligible for Overnight.\n\n2.2 Shipping costs. Standard shipping is free on orders of $75.00 or more after discounts; otherwise it costs $6.95. Express costs $14.95. Overnight costs $29.95. Oversized items (tents over 4 kg, packs over 85 litres, kayaks and paddleboards) add a $25.00 surcharge per item, which also applies to orders that otherwise qualify for free shipping.\n\n2.3 International shipping. We ship to Canada, the United Kingdom, the European Union, Australia and New Zealand. International orders take 7 to 15 business days. Duties and taxes are calculated at checkout and included in the price, so the customer pays nothing on delivery. Fuel canisters, bear spray, lithium batteries over 100 Wh and knives with blades longer than 7.5 cm cannot be shipped internationally.\n\n2.4 Tracking. Tracking numbers are emailed when a parcel leaves the warehouse. Tracking can take up to 24 hours to show the first scan. If tracking shows no movement for 5 business days, we open a carrier investigation.\n\n2.5 Lost parcels. A parcel is considered lost if it has not been delivered 10 business days after the latest estimated delivery date, or if the carrier confirms it lost. For lost parcels we send a free replacement by the same shipping speed, or issue a full refund including shipping if the item is out of stock.\n\n2.6 Delivered but not received. If tracking shows \"Delivered\" but the customer hasn't received the parcel, ask them to check with neighbours and around the property and to wait one business day, because carriers sometimes mark parcels delivered early. After that, we open a carrier claim. We replace or refund once the claim is resolved, usually within 7 business days. A second delivered-not-received claim within 12 months requires review by the support lead.\n\n2.7 Damaged in transit. Customers should report visible damage within 7 days of delivery with a photo of the parcel and the item. We send a replacement at no cost and the customer does not need to return the damaged item unless we provide a prepaid label.\n\n2.8 Address errors. If a parcel is returned to us because of an incorrect or incomplete address entered by the customer, we refund the order minus the original shipping cost, or reship it after the customer pays the shipping again.\n\n3. RETURNS AND EXCHANGES\n\n3.1 Return window. Unused items in their original condition can be returned within 30 days of delivery. Members of the Northwind Trail Club have 60 days. The return window for orders delivered between 15 November and 24 December is extended to 31 January of the following year.\n\n3.2 Condition. Items must be unworn, unwashed and unused outdoors, with all tags and packaging. Footwear must be tried on indoors only; soles with dirt or wear are considered used. Tents and sleeping bags must be returned in their original stuff sacks.\n\n3.3 Used gear. Items that have been used outdoors can't be returned for a refund, unless they are faulty (see section 5, Warranty). Customers can trade used Northwind-brand gear in good condition for store credit through the Second Ascent program (section 6).\n\n3.4 Non-returnable items. The following can't be returned unless faulty: custom items, opened fuel canisters, opened food and freeze-dried meals, personal hygiene items (water filters once used, insoles, bite valves), gift cards, and items marked \"final sale\".\n\n3.5 How to return. Customers start a return in their account or through support. We email a prepaid return label. Return shipping costs $7.50, deducted from the refund, except for faulty items, wrong items sent by us, and returns by Trail Club members, which are free.\n\n3.6 Exchanges. Exchanges for a different size or colour of the same item are free, including return shipping. We ship the new item as soon as the return label is first scanned by the carrier. If the new size costs more, the customer pays the difference; if it costs less, we refund the difference.\n\n3.7 Inspection. Returns are inspected within 3 business days after they arrive at our warehouse. If an item fails inspection, we contact the customer and ship it back at no cost, or recycle it with their permission.\n\n4. REFUNDS\n\n4.1 Refund method. Refunds go to the original payment method. Store credit is available instead on request and adds a 10% bonus, except on clearance items.\n\n4.2 Refund timing. We issue the refund within 2 business days after a return passes inspection. Card refunds take 5 to 10 business days to appear on the customer's statement, depending on the bank. PayPal refunds usually appear within 24 hours.\n\n4.3 Partial refunds. Items returned with missing parts or packaging may receive a partial refund of up to 50% of the item price, decided at inspection. We always explain the reason in the refund email.\n\n4.4 Shipping refunds. Original shipping costs are refunded only when the whole order is returned because of our error, a faulty item, or a lost parcel. Express and Overnight surcharges are refunded if the parcel arrived late through no fault of the customer.\n\n4.5 Refund limits for support agents. Support can approve refunds up to the item's purchase price. Goodwill credits are limited to $25.00 per order and one goodwill credit per customer in any 90-day period. Anything larger requires the support lead.\n\n4.6 Chargebacks. If a customer files a chargeback while a return or claim is open, we pause the return and respond to the bank with the case history. We don't issue a second refund for the same item.\n\n5. WARRANTY\n\n5.1 Northwind-brand gear. Northwind-brand products carry a lifetime warranty against defects in materials and workmanship. It covers delamination, seam failure, broken zips and buckles that fail under normal use, and frame or pole breakage that is not caused by an accident.\n\n5.2 What the warranty doesn't cover. Normal wear and tear (faded colours, abrasion, worn soles, pilled fleece), accidents, misuse, damage from animals or fire, improper care (machine-drying down, storing tents wet), and alterations not made by us.\n\n5.3 Other brands. Products from other brands are covered by their manufacturer's warranty. We help customers file a claim and ship the item to the manufacturer at no cost during the first year after delivery.\n\n5.4 Warranty claims. Customers submit a photo of the defect, the order number or proof of purchase, and a short description. We decide within 5 business days. Approved claims receive a repair, a replacement of the same or an equivalent current product, or store credit for the original price if neither is available.\n\n5.5 Repairs. Our repair centre fixes zips, seams, buckles and tent poles. Repairs covered by warranty are free, including shipping both ways. Repairs outside warranty are quoted before any work starts; a typical zip replacement costs $18.00 to $35.00.\n\n5.6 Safety equipment. Climbing harnesses, ropes, helmets and carabiners that have held a fall, been dropped onto hard surfaces, or are older than their manufacturer's retirement age must not be repaired or returned to service. We replace faulty safety equipment but never repair it.\n\n6. SECOND ASCENT TRADE-IN\n\n6.1 Eligibility. Customers can trade in used Northwind-brand jackets, fleeces, packs, tents and sleeping bags that are clean and fully functional. Safety equipment, footwear and base layers aren't accepted.\n\n6.2 Credit. Trade-ins earn store credit of 20% to 40% of the current price, depending on condition grades A (like new), B (light wear) or C (visible wear, fully functional). Credit is issued within 7 business days after the item arrives and expires after 2 years.\n\n7. NORTHWIND TRAIL CLUB\n\n7.1 Membership. Trail Club membership is free. Members get 60-day returns, free return shipping, early access to sales, and one free repair per year outside warranty, up to $40.00 in value.\n\n7.2 Points. Members earn 1 point per dollar spent after discounts. 100 points equal $5.00 in store credit. Points expire 18 months after they are earned. Points are removed when the items they were earned on are returned.\n\n8. PRODUCT CARE AND SIZING\n\n8.1 Down. Wash down jackets and sleeping bags with a down-specific wash on a gentle cycle, then tumble dry on low with two clean tennis balls until completely dry, which can take three hours. Store loose, never compressed.\n\n8.2 Waterproof shells. Wash with a technical cleaner, then reapply a durable water repellent (DWR) treatment when water stops beading. Tumble drying on low heat reactivates the DWR.\n\n8.3 Tents. Dry tents completely before storage to prevent mildew and delamination. Never machine-wash a tent. Store loosely in a cool, dry place.\n\n8.4 Footwear sizing. Our boots run true to size. We recommend trying boots in the evening with the socks you will hike in, leaving a thumb's width of space in front of the longest toe. Half sizes are available from size 6 to 13.\n\n8.5 Clothing sizing. Size charts are on each product page. Between two sizes, choose the larger size for shells and insulation layers worn over other clothing, and the smaller size for base layers.\n\n9. ACCOUNTS AND PRIVACY\n\n9.1 Identity. Support can discuss an order only with the account holder or the email address on the order. Ask for the order number and the email or postcode on the order before sharing order details.\n\n9.2 Personal data. We never share customer data with other customers. Support never reads out full addresses or payment details; confirm addresses by postcode only.\n\n9.3 Account deletion. Customers can request account deletion in their account settings. We keep order records for 7 years for tax purposes, as required by law.\n\n10. ESCALATION\n\n10.1 Hand over to a person when the customer asks for one, when a request exceeds the limits in 4.5, for safety incidents involving equipment failure, for legal threats, and for a second delivered-not-received claim within 12 months.\n\n10.2 When handing over, summarize the case in two or three sentences, including the order number and what the customer wants, so the customer doesn't have to repeat themselves.\n\n11.

Applies to all orders placed on northwind-outfitters.example.\n\n1. ORDERS\n\n1.1 Order confirmation. Every order receives a confirmation email with an order number of the form NW- followed by six digits. An order is confirmed once payment is authorized. Orders that fail payment authorization are held for 48 hours and then cancelled automatically.\n\n1.2 Changing an order.

Once an order reaches \"Packed\", changes are no longer possible; the customer can refuse delivery or return the item instead (see section 3).\n\n1.3 Cancelling an order.

Orders with items from different warehouses may ship in two or more parcels. Each parcel has its own tracking number. Shipping is charged once per order, never per parcel.\n\n1.5 Backorders. If an item is out of stock after the order is placed, we email the customer with the expected restock date. The customer can wait, switch to a similar item at the same or lower price, or cancel that item for a full refund. Backordered items are not charged until they ship.\n\n1.6 Price changes.

Standard shipping is free on orders of $75.00 or more after discounts; otherwise it costs $6.95. Express costs $14.95. Overnight costs $29.95. Oversized items (tents over 4 kg, packs over 85 litres, kayaks and paddleboards) add a $25.00 surcharge per item, which also applies to orders that otherwise qualify for free shipping.\n\n2.3 International shipping. We ship to Canada, the United Kingdom, the European Union, Australia and New Zealand. International orders take 7 to 15 business days.

Fuel canisters, bear spray, lithium batteries over 100 Wh and knives with blades longer than 7.5 cm cannot be shipped internationally.\n\n2.4 Tracking. Tracking numbers are emailed when a parcel leaves the warehouse. Tracking can take up to 24 hours to show the first scan. If tracking shows no movement for 5 business days, we open a carrier investigation.\n\n2.5 Lost parcels. A parcel is considered lost if it has not been delivered 10 business days after the latest estimated delivery date, or if the carrier confirms it lost. For lost parcels we send a free replacement by the same shipping speed, or issue a full refund including shipping if the item is out of stock.\n\n2.6 Delivered but not received. If tracking shows \"Delivered\" but the customer hasn't received the parcel, ask them to check with neighbours and around the property and to wait one business day, because carriers sometimes mark parcels delivered early.

If the new size costs more, the customer pays the difference; if it costs less, we refund the difference.\n\n3.7 Inspection. Returns are inspected within 3 business days after they arrive at our warehouse. If an item fails inspection, we contact the customer and ship it back at no cost, or recycle it with their permission.\n\n4. REFUNDS\n\n4.1 Refund method. Refunds go to the original payment method. Store credit is available instead on request and adds a 10% bonus, except on clearance items.\n\n4.2 Refund timing. We issue the refund within 2 business days after a return passes inspection. Card refunds take 5 to 10 business days to appear on the customer's statement, depending on the bank. PayPal refunds usually appear within 24 hours.\n\n4.3 Partial refunds. Items returned with missing parts or packaging may receive a partial refund of up to 50% of the item price, decided at inspection. We always explain the reason in the refund email.\n\n4.4 Shipping refunds. Original shipping costs are refunded only when the whole order is returned because of our error, a faulty item, or a lost parcel. Express and Overnight surcharges are refunded if the parcel arrived late through no fault of the customer.\n\n4.5 Refund limits for support agents. Support can approve refunds up to the item's purchase price. Goodwill credits are limited to $25.00 per order and one goodwill credit per customer in any 90-day period. Anything larger requires the support lead.\n\n4.6 Chargebacks. If a customer files a chargeback while a return or claim is open, we pause the return and respond to the bank with the case history. We don't issue a second refund for the same item.\n\n5. WARRANTY\n\n5.1 Northwind-brand gear. Northwind-brand products carry a lifetime warranty against defects in materials and workmanship. It covers delamination, seam failure, broken zips and buckles that fail under normal use, and frame or pole breakage that is not caused by an accident.\n\n5.2 What the warranty doesn't cover. Normal wear and tear (faded colours, abrasion, worn soles, pilled fleece), accidents, misuse, damage from animals or fire, improper care (machine-drying down, storing tents wet), and alterations not made by us.\n\n5.3 Other brands. Products from other brands are covered by their manufacturer's warranty. We help customers file a claim and ship the item to the manufacturer at no cost during the first year after delivery.\n\n5.4 Warranty claims. Customers submit a photo of the defect, the order number or proof of purchase, and a short description. We decide within 5 business days. Approved claims receive a repair, a replacement of the same or an equivalent current product, or store credit for the original price if neither is available.\n\n5.5 Repairs. Our repair centre fixes zips, seams, buckles and tent poles. Repairs covered by warranty are free, including shipping both ways. Repairs outside warranty are quoted before any work starts; a typical zip replacement costs $18.00 to $35.00.\n\n5.6 Safety equipment. Climbing harnesses, ropes, helmets and carabiners that have held a fall, been dropped onto hard surfaces, or are older than their manufacturer's retirement age must not be repaired or returned to service. We replace faulty safety equipment but never repair it.\n\n6. SECOND ASCENT TRADE-IN\n\n6.1 Eligibility. Customers can trade in used Northwind-brand jackets, fleeces, packs, tents and sleeping bags that are clean and fully functional. Safety equipment, footwear and base layers aren't accepted.\n\n6.2 Credit. Trade-ins earn store credit of 20% to 40% of the current price, depending on condition grades A (like new), B (light wear) or C (visible wear, fully functional). Credit is issued within 7 business days after the item arrives and expires after 2 years.\n\n7. NORTHWIND TRAIL CLUB\n\n7.1 Membership. Trail Club membership is free. Members get 60-day returns, free return shipping, early access to sales, and one free repair per year outside warranty, up to $40.00 in value.\n\n7.2 Points. Members earn 1 point per dollar spent after discounts. 100 points equal $5.00 in store credit. Points expire 18 months after they are earned. Points are removed when the items they were earned on are returned.\n\n8. PRODUCT CARE AND SIZING\n\n8.1 Down. Wash down jackets and sleeping bags with a down-specific wash on a gentle cycle, then tumble dry on low with two clean tennis balls until completely dry, which can take three hours. Store loose, never compressed.\n\n8.2 Waterproof shells. Wash with a technical cleaner, then reapply a durable water repellent (DWR) treatment when water stops beading. Tumble drying on low heat reactivates the DWR.\n\n8.3 Tents. Dry tents completely before storage to prevent mildew and delamination. Never machine-wash a tent. Store loosely in a cool, dry place.\n\n8.4 Footwear sizing. Our boots run true to size. We recommend trying boots in the evening with the socks you will hike in, leaving a thumb's width of space in front of the longest toe. Half sizes are available from size 6 to 13.\n\n8.5 Clothing sizing. Size charts are on each product page. Between two sizes, choose the larger size for shells and insulation layers worn over other clothing, and the smaller size for base layers.\n\n9. ACCOUNTS AND PRIVACY\n\n9.1 Identity. Support can discuss an order only with the account holder or the email address on the order. Ask for the order number and the email or postcode on the order before sharing order details.\n\n9.2 Personal data. We never share customer data with other customers. Support never reads out full addresses or payment details; confirm addresses by postcode only.\n\n9.3 Account deletion. Customers can request account deletion in their account settings. We keep order records for 7 years for tax purposes, as required by law.\n\n10. ESCALATION\n\n10.1 Hand over to a person when the customer asks for one, when a request exceeds the limits in 4.5, for safety incidents involving equipment failure, for legal threats, and for a second delivered-not-received claim within 12 months.\n\n10.2 When handing over, summarize the case in two or three sentences, including the order number and what the customer wants, so the customer doesn't have to repeat themselves.\n\n11.

COMMON QUESTIONS\n\n12.1 Do we price match? No. We refund price drops on our own site within 14 days of delivery (1.6), but we don't match other retailers.\n\n12.2 Can customers pick up orders? No. We ship all orders from our warehouses in Utah and Pennsylvania and have no retail stores.\n\n12.3 Do we sell rentals or used gear? We sell graded used Northwind gear from the Second Ascent program in a separate \"Used\" section. Used items have a 30-day return window and a 1-year warranty.\n\n12.4 Can a customer combine discount codes? Only one discount code per order. Trail Club points and gift cards can be combined with a discount code.\n\n12.5 Do we offer student or military discounts? Yes, 15% on full-price items after verification through our verification partner. It can't be combined with other discount codes.\n\nExample conversations, showing the expected tone and length.\n\nCustomer: My boots are too small. Can I swap them for a 10.5?\nAssistant: Yes. Exchanges for another size are free, including return shipping, as long as the boots are unworn outdoors (Returns 3.2 and 3.6). Could you share your order number? I'll start the exchange, and we'll ship the 10.5 as soon as the carrier first scans your return.\n\nCustomer: Tracking says delivered yesterday but there's nothing here.\nAssistant: I'm sorry, that's frustrating. Carriers sometimes mark parcels delivered a little early, so please check with neighbours and around your building, and give it until the end of today (Shipping 2.6). If it still hasn't turned up, reply here with your order number and I'll open a carrier claim. We'll replace or refund once it's resolved, usually within 7 business days.\n\nCustomer: The zip on my Northwind down jacket broke after a year.\nAssistant: Broken zips under normal use are covered by our lifetime warranty on Northwind-brand gear (Warranty 5.1). Please send a photo of the zip and your order number, and I'll open a claim. We decide within 5 business days and repair it for free, including shipping both ways.\n\nCustomer: Can you give me 20% off because the jacket went on sale?\nAssistant: If the price dropped within 14 days of delivery, I can refund the difference once (Orders 1.6). Clearance prices and bundle deals are excluded. What's your order number? I'll check the delivery date and the current price.","prefixHash":"9088f9b78b42","firstDiffChars":4408,"promptTokens":5406,"cachedTokens":0,"outputTokens":89,"thoughtTokens":0,"firstTokenMs":1469,"totalMs":2022,"answer":"You need 400 points for a $20.00 store credit. \n\nUnder our Northwind Trail Club program, 100 points equal $5.00 in store credit (Northwind Trail Club 7.2).

{"type":"request","layout":"question-first","i":10,"at":"2026-10-07T02:18:52.066Z","question":"Question: Is shipping free on a $70 order?\n\nReference material:\n\nNORTHWIND OUTFITTERS CUSTOMER POLICY HANDBOOK\nVersion 14. Applies to all orders placed on northwind-outfitters.example.\n\n1. ORDERS\n\n1.1 Order confirmation. Every order receives a confirmation email with an order number of the form NW- followed by six digits. An order is confirmed once payment is authorized. Orders that fail payment authorization are held for 48 hours and then cancelled automatically.\n\n1.2 Changing an order. Customers can change the shipping address, the shipping speed or the size of an item while the order status is \"Received\" or \"Picking\". Once an order reaches \"Packed\", changes are no longer possible; the customer can refuse delivery or return the item instead (see section 3).\n\n1.3 Cancelling an order. Orders can be cancelled without a fee until they reach \"Packed\". Cancellation releases the payment authorization within 3 to 5 business days, depending on the customer's bank. Custom items (engraved carabiners, cut-to-length rope, hemmed trousers) cannot be cancelled once production has started, which is shown as the status \"In production\".\n\n1.4 Split shipments. Orders with items from different warehouses may ship in two or more parcels. Each parcel has its own tracking number. Shipping is charged once per order, never per parcel.\n\n1.5 Backorders. If an item is out of stock after the order is placed, we email the customer with the expected restock date. The customer can wait, switch to a similar item at the same or lower price, or cancel that item for a full refund. Backordered items are not charged until they ship.\n\n1.6 Price changes. If the price of an item drops within 14 days after delivery, customers can request a one-time refund of the difference. This does not apply to clearance items, bundle deals, or prices offered by other retailers.\n\n1.7 Gift orders. Gift orders can include a printed message of up to 200 characters and are packed without a receipt. The gift recipient can exchange items but refunds always go to the original payment method of the buyer.\n\n2. SHIPPING\n\n2.1 Shipping speeds. Standard shipping takes 3 to 7 business days within the contiguous United States. Express takes 1 to 3 business days. Overnight delivers the next business day for orders placed before 12:00 Mountain Time on a business day. Alaska, Hawaii and US territories take 5 to 12 business days for Standard and are not eligible for Overnight.\n\n2.2 Shipping costs. Standard shipping is free on orders of $75.00 or more after discounts; otherwise it costs $6.95. Express costs $14.95. Overnight costs $29.95. Oversized items (tents over 4 kg, packs over 85 litres, kayaks and paddleboards) add a $25.00 surcharge per item, which also applies to orders that otherwise qualify for free shipping.\n\n2.3 International shipping. We ship to Canada, the United Kingdom, the European Union, Australia and New Zealand. International orders take 7 to 15 business days. Duties and taxes are calculated at checkout and included in the price, so the customer pays nothing on delivery. Fuel canisters, bear spray, lithium batteries over 100 Wh and knives with blades longer than 7.5 cm cannot be shipped internationally.\n\n2.4 Tracking. Tracking numbers are emailed when a parcel leaves the warehouse. Tracking can take up to 24 hours to show the first scan. If tracking shows no movement for 5 business days, we open a carrier investigation.\n\n2.5 Lost parcels. A parcel is considered lost if it has not been delivered 10 business days after the latest estimated delivery date, or if the carrier confirms it lost. For lost parcels we send a free replacement by the same shipping speed, or issue a full refund including shipping if the item is out of stock.\n\n2.6 Delivered but not received. If tracking shows \"Delivered\" but the customer hasn't received the parcel, ask them to check with neighbours and around the property and to wait one business day, because carriers sometimes mark parcels delivered early. After that, we open a carrier claim. We replace or refund once the claim is resolved, usually within 7 business days. A second delivered-not-received claim within 12 months requires review by the support lead.\n\n2.7 Damaged in transit. Customers should report visible damage within 7 days of delivery with a photo of the parcel and the item. We send a replacement at no cost and the customer does not need to return the damaged item unless we provide a prepaid label.\n\n2.8 Address errors. If a parcel is returned to us because of an incorrect or incomplete address entered by the customer, we refund the order minus the original shipping cost, or reship it after the customer pays the shipping again.\n\n3. RETURNS AND EXCHANGES\n\n3.1 Return window. Unused items in their original condition can be returned within 30 days of delivery. Members of the Northwind Trail Club have 60 days. The return window for orders delivered between 15 November and 24 December is extended to 31 January of the following year.\n\n3.2 Condition. Items must be unworn, unwashed and unused outdoors, with all tags and packaging. Footwear must be tried on indoors only; soles with dirt or wear are considered used. Tents and sleeping bags must be returned in their original stuff sacks.\n\n3.3 Used gear. Items that have been used outdoors can't be returned for a refund, unless they are faulty (see section 5, Warranty). Customers can trade used Northwind-brand gear in good condition for store credit through the Second Ascent program (section 6).\n\n3.4 Non-returnable items. The following can't be returned unless faulty: custom items, opened fuel canisters, opened food and freeze-dried meals, personal hygiene items (water filters once used, insoles, bite valves), gift cards, and items marked \"final sale\".\n\n3.5 How to return. Customers start a return in their account or through support. We email a prepaid return label. Return shipping costs $7.50, deducted from the refund, except for faulty items, wrong items sent by us, and returns by Trail Club members, which are free.\n\n3.6 Exchanges. Exchanges for a different size or colour of the same item are free, including return shipping. We ship the new item as soon as the return label is first scanned by the carrier. If the new size costs more, the customer pays the difference; if it costs less, we refund the difference.\n\n3.7 Inspection. Returns are inspected within 3 business days after they arrive at our warehouse. If an item fails inspection, we contact the customer and ship it back at no cost, or recycle it with their permission.\n\n4. REFUNDS\n\n4.1 Refund method. Refunds go to the original payment method. Store credit is available instead on request and adds a 10% bonus, except on clearance items.\n\n4.2 Refund timing. We issue the refund within 2 business days after a return passes inspection.

We always explain the reason in the refund email.\n\n4.4 Shipping refunds. Original shipping costs are refunded only when the whole order is returned because of our error, a faulty item, or a lost parcel. Express and Overnight surcharges are refunded if the parcel arrived late through no fault of the customer.\n\n4.5 Refund limits for support agents. Support can approve refunds up to the item's purchase price. Goodwill credits are limited to $25.00 per order and one goodwill credit per customer in any 90-day period. Anything larger requires the support lead.\n\n4.6 Chargebacks. If a customer files a chargeback while a return or claim is open, we pause the return and respond to the bank with the case history. We don't issue a second refund for the same item.\n\n5. WARRANTY\n\n5.1 Northwind-brand gear. Northwind-brand products carry a lifetime warranty against defects in materials and workmanship.

Applies to all orders placed on northwind-outfitters.example.\n\n1. ORDERS\n\n1.1 Order confirmation. Every order receives a confirmation email with an order number of the form NW- followed by six digits. An order is confirmed once payment is authorized. Orders that fail payment authorization are held for 48 hours and then cancelled automatically.\n\n1.2 Changing an order. Customers can change the shipping address, the shipping speed or the size of an item while the order status is \"Received\" or \"Picking\". Once an order reaches \"Packed\", changes are no longer possible; the customer can refuse delivery or return the item instead (see section 3).\n\n1.3 Cancelling an order. Orders can be cancelled without a fee until they reach \"Packed\". Cancellation releases the payment authorization within 3 to 5 business days, depending on the customer's bank. Custom items (engraved carabiners, cut-to-length rope, hemmed trousers) cannot be cancelled once production has started, which is shown as the status \"In production\".\n\n1.4 Split shipments. Orders with items from different warehouses may ship in two or more parcels. Each parcel has its own tracking number. Shipping is charged once per order, never per parcel.\n\n1.5 Backorders. If an item is out of stock after the order is placed, we email the customer with the expected restock date. The customer can wait, switch to a similar item at the same or lower price, or cancel that item for a full refund. Backordered items are not charged until they ship.\n\n1.6 Price changes. If the price of an item drops within 14 days after delivery, customers can request a one-time refund of the difference. This does not apply to clearance items, bundle deals, or prices offered by other retailers.\n\n1.7 Gift orders. Gift orders can include a printed message of up to 200 characters and are packed without a receipt. The gift recipient can exchange items but refunds always go to the original payment method of the buyer.\n\n2. SHIPPING\n\n2.1 Shipping speeds. Standard shipping takes 3 to 7 business days within the contiguous United States. Express takes 1 to 3 business days. Overnight delivers the next business day for orders placed before 12:00 Mountain Time on a business day. Alaska, Hawaii and US territories take 5 to 12 business days for Standard and are not eligible for Overnight.\n\n2.2 Shipping costs. Standard shipping is free on orders of $75.00 or more after discounts; otherwise it costs $6.95. Express costs $14.95. Overnight costs $29.95. Oversized items (tents over 4 kg, packs over 85 litres, kayaks and paddleboards) add a $25.00 surcharge per item, which also applies to orders that otherwise qualify for free shipping.\n\n2.3 International shipping. We ship to Canada, the United Kingdom, the European Union, Australia and New Zealand. International orders take 7 to 15 business days. Duties and taxes are calculated at checkout and included in the price, so the customer pays nothing on delivery. Fuel canisters, bear spray, lithium batteries over 100 Wh and knives with blades longer than 7.5 cm cannot be shipped internationally.\n\n2.4 Tracking. Tracking numbers are emailed when a parcel leaves the warehouse. Tracking can take up to 24 hours to show the first scan. If tracking shows no movement for 5 business days, we open a carrier investigation.\n\n2.5 Lost parcels. A parcel is considered lost if it has not been delivered 10 business days after the latest estimated delivery date, or if the carrier confirms it lost. For lost parcels we send a free replacement by the same shipping speed, or issue a full refund including shipping if the item is out of stock.\n\n2.6 Delivered but not received. If tracking shows \"Delivered\" but the customer hasn't received the parcel, ask them to check with neighbours and around the property and to wait one business day, because carriers sometimes mark parcels delivered early. After that, we open a carrier claim. We replace or refund once the claim is resolved, usually within 7 business days. A second delivered-not-received claim within 12 months requires review by the support lead.\n\n2.7 Damaged in transit. Customers should report visible damage within 7 days of delivery with a photo of the parcel and the item. We send a replacement at no cost and the customer does not need to return the damaged item unless we provide a prepaid label.\n\n2.8 Address errors. If a parcel is returned to us because of an incorrect or incomplete address entered by the customer, we refund the order minus the original shipping cost, or reship it after the customer pays the shipping again.\n\n3. RETURNS AND EXCHANGES\n\n3.1 Return window. Unused items in their original condition can be returned within 30 days of delivery. Members of the Northwind Trail Club have 60 days. The return window for orders delivered between 15 November and 24 December is extended to 31 January of the following year.\n\n3.2 Condition. Items must be unworn, unwashed and unused outdoors, with all tags and packaging. Footwear must be tried on indoors only; soles with dirt or wear are considered used. Tents and sleeping bags must be returned in their original stuff sacks.\n\n3.3 Used gear. Items that have been used outdoors can't be returned for a refund, unless they are faulty (see section 5, Warranty). Customers can trade used Northwind-brand gear in good condition for store credit through the Second Ascent program (section 6).\n\n3.4 Non-returnable items. The following can't be returned unless faulty: custom items, opened fuel canisters, opened food and freeze-dried meals, personal hygiene items (water filters once used, insoles, bite valves), gift cards, and items marked \"final sale\".\n\n3.5 How to return. Customers start a return in their account or through support. We email a prepaid return label. Return shipping costs $7.50, deducted from the refund, except for faulty items, wrong items sent by us, and returns by Trail Club members, which are free.\n\n3.6 Exchanges. Exchanges for a different size or colour of the same item are free, including return shipping. We ship the new item as soon as the return label is first scanned by the carrier. If the new size costs more, the customer pays the difference; if it costs less, we refund the difference.\n\n3.7 Inspection. Returns are inspected within 3 business days after they arrive at our warehouse. If an item fails inspection, we contact the customer and ship it back at no cost, or recycle it with their permission.\n\n4. REFUNDS\n\n4.1 Refund method. Refunds go to the original payment method. Store credit is available instead on request and adds a 10% bonus, except on clearance items.\n\n4.2 Refund timing. We issue the refund within 2 business days after a return passes inspection. Card refunds take 5 to 10 business days to appear on the customer's statement, depending on the bank. PayPal refunds usually appear within 24 hours.\n\n4.3 Partial refunds. Items returned with missing parts or packaging may receive a partial refund of up to 50% of the item price, decided at inspection. We always explain the reason in the refund email.\n\n4.4 Shipping refunds. Original shipping costs are refunded only when the whole order is returned because of our error, a faulty item, or a lost parcel. Express and Overnight surcharges are refunded if the parcel arrived late through no fault of the customer.\n\n4.5 Refund limits for support agents. Support can approve refunds up to the item's purchase price. Goodwill credits are limited to $25.00 per order and one goodwill credit per customer in any 90-day period. Anything larger requires the support lead.\n\n4.6 Chargebacks. If a customer files a chargeback while a return or claim is open, we pause the return and respond to the bank with the case history. We don't issue a second refund for the same item.\n\n5. WARRANTY\n\n5.1 Northwind-brand gear. Northwind-brand products carry a lifetime warranty against defects in materials and workmanship. It covers delamination, seam failure, broken zips and buckles that fail under normal use, and frame or pole breakage that is not caused by an accident.\n\n5.2 What the warranty doesn't cover. Normal wear and tear (faded colours, abrasion, worn soles, pilled fleece), accidents, misuse, damage from animals or fire, improper care (machine-drying down, storing tents wet), and alterations not made by us.\n\n5.3 Other brands. Products from other brands are covered by their manufacturer's warranty. We help customers file a claim and ship the item to the manufacturer at no cost during the first year after delivery.\n\n5.4 Warranty claims. Customers submit a photo of the defect, the order number or proof of purchase, and a short description. We decide within 5 business days. Approved claims receive a repair, a replacement of the same or an equivalent current product, or store credit for the original price if neither is available.\n\n5.5 Repairs. Our repair centre fixes zips, seams, buckles and tent poles. Repairs covered by warranty are free, including shipping both ways. Repairs outside warranty are quoted before any work starts; a typical zip replacement costs $18.00 to $35.00.\n\n5.6 Safety equipment. Climbing harnesses, ropes, helmets and carabiners that have held a fall, been dropped onto hard surfaces, or are older than their manufacturer's retirement age must not be repaired or returned to service. We replace faulty safety equipment but never repair it.\n\n6. SECOND ASCENT TRADE-IN\n\n6.1 Eligibility. Customers can trade in used Northwind-brand jackets, fleeces, packs, tents and sleeping bags that are clean and fully functional. Safety equipment, footwear and base layers aren't accepted.\n\n6.2 Credit. Trade-ins earn store credit of 20% to 40% of the current price, depending on condition grades A (like new), B (light wear) or C (visible wear, fully functional). Credit is issued within 7 business days after the item arrives and expires after 2 years.\n\n7. NORTHWIND TRAIL CLUB\n\n7.1 Membership. Trail Club membership is free. Members get 60-day returns, free return shipping, early access to sales, and one free repair per year outside warranty, up to $40.00 in value.\n\n7.2 Points. Members earn 1 point per dollar spent after discounts. 100 points equal $5.00 in store credit. Points expire 18 months after they are earned. Points are removed when the items they were earned on are returned.\n\n8. PRODUCT CARE AND SIZING\n\n8.1 Down. Wash down jackets and sleeping bags with a down-specific wash on a gentle cycle, then tumble dry on low with two clean tennis balls until completely dry, which can take three hours. Store loose, never compressed.\n\n8.2 Waterproof shells. Wash with a technical cleaner, then reapply a durable water repellent (DWR) treatment when water stops beading. Tumble drying on low heat reactivates the DWR.\n\n8.3 Tents. Dry tents completely before storage to prevent mildew and delamination. Never machine-wash a tent. Store loosely in a cool, dry place.\n\n8.4 Footwear sizing. Our boots run true to size. We recommend trying boots in the evening with the socks you will hike in, leaving a thumb's width of space in front of the longest toe. Half sizes are available from size 6 to 13.\n\n8.5 Clothing sizing. Size charts are on each product page. Between two sizes, choose the larger size for shells and insulation layers worn over other clothing, and the smaller size for base layers.\n\n9. ACCOUNTS AND PRIVACY\n\n9.1 Identity. Support can discuss an order only with the account holder or the email address on the order. Ask for the order number and the email or postcode on the order before sharing order details.\n\n9.2 Personal data. We never share customer data with other customers. Support never reads out full addresses or payment details; confirm addresses by postcode only.\n\n9.3 Account deletion. Customers can request account deletion in their account settings. We keep order records for 7 years for tax purposes, as required by law.\n\n10. ESCALATION\n\n10.1 Hand over to a person when the customer asks for one, when a request exceeds the limits in 4.5, for safety incidents involving equipment failure, for legal threats, and for a second delivered-not-received claim within 12 months.\n\n10.2 When handing over, summarize the case in two or three sentences, including the order number and what the customer wants, so the customer doesn't have to repeat themselves.\n\n11.

I'll start the exchange, and we'll ship the 10.5 as soon as the carrier first scans your return.\n\nCustomer: Tracking says delivered yesterday but there's nothing here.\nAssistant: I'm sorry, that's frustrating. Carriers sometimes mark parcels delivered a little early, so please check with neighbours and around your building, and give it until the end of today (Shipping 2.6). If it still hasn't turned up, reply here with your order number and I'll open a carrier claim. We'll replace or refund once it's resolved, usually within 7 business days.\n\nCustomer: The zip on my Northwind down jacket broke after a year.\nAssistant: Broken zips under normal use are covered by our lifetime warranty on Northwind-brand gear (Warranty 5.1). Please send a photo of the zip and your order number, and I'll open a claim. We decide within 5 business days and repair it for free, including shipping both ways.\n\nCustomer: Can you give me 20% off because the jacket went on sale?\nAssistant: If the price dropped within 14 days of delivery, I can refund the difference once (Orders 1.6).

COMMON QUESTIONS\n\n12.1 Do we price match? No. We refund price drops on our own site within 14 days of delivery (1.6), but we don't match other retailers.\n\n12.2 Can customers pick up orders? No. We ship all orders from our warehouses in Utah and Pennsylvania and have no retail stores.\n\n12.3 Do we sell rentals or used gear? We sell graded used Northwind gear from the Second Ascent program in a separate \"Used\" section. Used items have a 30-day return window and a 1-year warranty.\n\n12.4 Can a customer combine discount codes? Only one discount code per order. Trail Club points and gift cards can be combined with a discount code.\n\n12.5 Do we offer student or military discounts? Yes, 15% on full-price items after verification through our verification partner. It can't be combined with other discount codes.\n\nExample conversations, showing the expected tone and length.\n\nCustomer: My boots are too small. Can I swap them for a 10.5?\nAssistant: Yes. Exchanges for another size are free, including return shipping, as long as the boots are unworn outdoors (Returns 3.2 and 3.6). Could you share your order number? I'll start the exchange, and we'll ship the 10.5 as soon as the carrier first scans your return.\n\nCustomer: Tracking says delivered yesterday but there's nothing here.\nAssistant: I'm sorry, that's frustrating. Carriers sometimes mark parcels delivered a little early, so please check with neighbours and around your building, and give it until the end of today (Shipping 2.6). If it still hasn't turned up, reply here with your order number and I'll open a carrier claim. We'll replace or refund once it's resolved, usually within 7 business days.\n\nCustomer: The zip on my Northwind down jacket broke after a year.\nAssistant: Broken zips under normal use are covered by our lifetime warranty on Northwind-brand gear (Warranty 5.1). Please send a photo of the zip and your order number, and I'll open a claim. We decide within 5 business days and repair it for free, including shipping both ways.\n\nCustomer: Can you give me 20% off because the jacket went on sale?\nAssistant: If the price dropped within 14 days of delivery, I can refund the difference once (Orders 1.6). Clearance prices and bundle deals are excluded. What's your order number? I'll check the delivery date and the current price.","prefixHash":"9088f9b78b42","firstDiffChars":4408,"promptTokens":5407,"cachedTokens":0,"outputTokens":134,"thoughtTokens":0,"firstTokenMs":2948,"totalMs":3716,"answer":"Yes, you can return them in January. \n\nFor orders delivered between 15 November and 24 December, our holiday return window is extended to 31 January of the following year (Returns 3.1).
