Return, Exchange, and Cancellation Policy

Important: Orders over $99 qualify for free shipping via USPS (Postal Service). RiverTrail requires an Adult Signature on packages valued at $200 and over. Therefore, if you are unable to sign for the package during the scheduled delivery, you may wish to have the signature requirement waived. PLEASE INCLUDE A NOTE WITH YOUR ORDER UNDER SPECIAL INSTRUCTIONS IF THIS IS YOUR PREFERENCE. Once the package is released from RiverTrail with an Adult Signature requirement, we are absolutely unable to waive the requirement. Should you opt to waive the signature confirmation, please be aware that you are responsible for the shipment once it is delivered to your address.

Customers with Returns / Exchanges have the following options:

1.) Refund original method of payment minus 10% re-stocking fee.

2.) Exchange for a different item or the same item in a different size.

No call tag or return label will be included or issued to customers from Rivertrail.

We strive to keep the latest, most exclusive boot styles in stock. In addition, many of the boot styles we carry are hand made to order. We urge customers to call us with any questions before ordering to ensure that sizing and styles will be satisfactory. For returns and exchanges, RiverTrail will be happy to assist with questions concerning styles, fit, etc. in an effort to find customers a product from our website they will be completely satisfied with.
