Can I get a bite suit faster than 4-weeks?
Our Bite Suits are typically “made-to-order", here in Colorado Springs. We generally ask that you allow four weeks for delivery. However, the typical suit is shipped within two weeks. This is not a guarantee. Please call us for orders that have a hard deadline.
I ordered the wrong item how do I return it?
Ray Allen Manufacturing will accept returns of new products. If it is a situation where the customer simply ordered the incorrect size or item; we ask that you obtain a RTA# (Return Authorization Number) to help us expedite the processing. In these situations, we do ask that the customer pay return shipping.
If Ray Allen Manufacturing ships you the incorrect item we would be glad to pay for the return and provide shipment of your correct item. In this scenario, we do still ask that you call to obtain a RTA#, however, it is not required if you include detailed information of the issue and how you would like us to resolve the issue.
Why do you carry tactical gear?
This is a great question. We launched our tactical gear line after many informal conversations with our customers. We wanted to know what products they purchase for their K9 team that Ray Allen Manufacturing did not currently offer – tactical clothing and gear was one of the most common product lines that were brought up. We feel Ray Allen manufactures and sources the best product for the dog and we feel confident we can do the same for the handler. Our tactical line is limited to the brands and products that we think are best suited for K9 handlers.
I have a product suggestion; how do I get Ray Allen to carry it?
We are always searching for new products and product ideas to meet the demands of our customers. The best way to communicate your idea to us is via email – sales@rayallen.com. Please keep in mind our team is constantly developing new products ourselves and we do get many requests for product and idea reviews. It may take a couple of weeks to respond to you.
