does using hand sanitizer replace the need to wash your hands with soap and water?
fda supports the cdc’s recommendation to use plain soap and water to wash your hands. when water is not readily available, a hand sanitizer may be a suitable alternative.
fda: the best way to prevent the spread of infections and decrease the risk of getting sick is by washing your hands with plain soap and water, advises the centers for disease control and prevention (cdc).
fda indicates that hand sanitizers do not eliminate all types of germs, are not as effective when hands are visibly dirty or greasy, and may not remove harmful chemicals.
hand sanitizers are an easy, quick alternative when hand washing with plain soap and water isn’t convenient or possible.

we typically ship within 24 hours if the order is processed on a business day (monday - friday).
how do tracking updates work?
once an order gains tracking information, it is guaranteed that it has left our warehouse.
our carriers do not scan each package upon pick-up at the warehouse, so the first tracking update and scan will come at the carriers' origin facilities. these updates can often take several business days to occur.
you can subscribe to order updates, this will help you get email notifications for orders when the tracking information is updated.
why don't we offer expedited shipping?
flammable goods are limited air shipping and can cost up to $150 to ship. if you need the product asap, please support one of our retailer partners which include albertsons, nordstrom, and paper source.
do you ship internationally?
currently, we only ship to the united states, but we are working with a set of distributors to extend our distribution worldwide.
does emu ship to po boxes?
no. due to the flammability specifications of the product, couriers do not permit shipment to p.o. boxes. if a customer enters a p.o. box, the courier service will return the shipment, and the customer will be responsible for the cost of a second shipment.
can i modify the shipping address of my order?
once an order is successfully placed, we can only modify the shipping address if this hasn’t been picked up for fulfillment. if a package has been picked up for fulfillment or shipped, we can no longer modify the shipping address provided during checkout.
my tracking number says my product is delivered, but i didn’t receive it. what do i do?
once a shipment is "confirmed delivered" by the courier, we (emu) can no longer accept refund requests, or inquire as to the order status. if the customer has a shipment that has been confirmed delivered, yet they are not in receipt of the product, it is the customers responsibility to contact and file a claim with the courier. you should contact the courier so that they can provide you further information on where your order was scanned upon delivery.
please note that it is the customer's responsibility to ensure the destination address is secure to receive packages. we provide a tracking number to ensure the receiver is at the location the day of the delivery to locate the package.
haven’t received your items?
the carriers we use ship millions of packages a day. unfortunately, some issues can arise from time to time, such as loss of tracking, delayed tracking, etc. most of the time, the items are recovered and delivered, but in the event that a package is lost, we can definitely help you with the claims process and, in most cases, get your order resent instantly.
if you believe your package is lost and you have not received tracking updates for at least 21 days, please send us an email at hello@sprayemu.com (include your order number) and we'll try to resolve the issue as quickly as possible.
please note that claims of packages that got lost in-transit must be made within 45 days from the shipping date in order to be honored a refund or replacement.
where is my package?
due to this unprecedented time and the safety of both, customer and courier, all packages will be dropped outside of your home to secure self-distance. that means that, nor fedex or usps, will be knocking on your door to deliver your order. packages will be left outside the residential or commercial address input during checkout. please make sure to check your tracking to pick up your package when it has been marked as delivered. we cannot accept refund requests if your tracking shows that the package has been delivered. it is the customer’s responsibility to be at the destination address upon delivery to avoid any theft or issue with the delivery.
if your package has been marked as delivered, and you are unable to locate it, you will have to contact usps or fedex directly to start a claim with them.
