Contact Channels, Hours, and Response Expectations

Primary contact methods: phone (+1 (800) 555-0199, Monday–Friday 9:00–18:00 ET), email ([email protected]), web ticket portal at https://www.pinkpalmpuff.com/support, and live chat available on the site weekdays 10:00–17:00 ET. Social customer service is monitored on Instagram (@PinkPalmPuff) and Facebook (facebook.com/PinkPalmPuff) with a 24–48 hour expected response window for direct messages. For international customers, a separate line is available via +1 (310) 555-0102 for tariff and shipping questions.

When contacting support, customers should expect an automated acknowledgment within 15 minutes and an agent-assigned ticket within 2 hours during business days. Weekend inquiries are queued and typically handled Monday morning. For urgent safety-related issues (e.g., allergic reaction), contact the phone line for immediate escalation and include photos and batch code (see “Troubleshooting & Care”).

Returns, Warranty, and Repair Process

Pink Palm Puff offers a standard 30-day money-back guarantee for direct purchases and a limited 90-day warranty against manufacturing defects. Refunds and exchanges are only processed for items purchased through pinkpalmpuff.com; third-party retailers (Amazon, Sephora, Ulta) enforce their own return windows (typically 30 days). For warranty claims, customers must provide proof of purchase (order number or receipt), photos showing the defect, and the product’s batch code (printed on the package: e.g., BP-2024-0421).

Typical RMA process: (1) submit a support ticket with order number and photos; (2) receive an RMA authorization within 48 hours; (3) ship the item back within 7 calendar days using provided prepaid label (domestic) or instructions for international returns; (4) Pink Palm inspects returns and issues refund or replacement within 5–10 business days of receipt. Refunds are credited to the original payment method. Shipping fees for returns are waived for verified defects; otherwise standard return shipping fee is $6.95 if returned for convenience.

Troubleshooting, Materials, and Care Instructions

The Palm Puff is manufactured from a dual-layer microfiber and hypoallergenic latex-free foam core, tested to OEKO-TEX Standard 100 in 2021. Routine cleaning: rinse under warm water with a mild detergent, air dry flat; avoid machine-drying or bleach. For stain removal or deep cleaning, soak 10 minutes in a 1:10 solution of white vinegar to water, then rinse thoroughly. The product life expectancy under normal use is approximately 3 months (replace every 12 weeks) or after 90 uses; heavy daily use may reduce lifespan to 6–8 weeks.

Common issues and quick fixes: if the puff sheds fibers, stop using immediately and contact support with batch code and photos (may qualify as a defective unit). For odor after heavy use, perform two sequential vinegar soaks and a full air-dry in a ventilated area. If an allergic reaction occurs, discontinue use and seek medical advice; report the event to support and include photos and the purchase date so the safety team can initiate an adverse event review.
