How do I identify whether an Email is or is not from TripKitt?
Suspicious or fraudulent emails not from TripKitt.com may contain:
- A reference to a payment source that TripKitt does not accept, such as PayPal. TripKitt currently only accepts credit cards, and debit cards for payment.
- A request to update payment information that is not linked to an order you placed on TripKitt.com or your TripKitt.com account.
- Links, including “Here” links, to websites not affiliated with TripKitt or TripKitt.com. You should be able to hover over a link without clicking it to show the website address associated with the link. If the link shows a site other than TripKitt.com or a site that is not a legitimate TripKitt domain, then it is likely phishing.
- An order confirmation for an item you did not purchase or an attachment to an order confirmation. If you are a TripKitt customer, go to your TripKitt Account and view Your Order History to see if there is an order that matches the details in the correspondence. If you are not a TripKitt customer, feel free to contact us to verify whether the email is associated with an actual order.
- Typos, grammatical errors, or unconventional formatting.
- A generic email address with TripKitt in the email, for example advert@gmail.com or a “noreply” email address from a non-US country or site not associated with TripKitt. TripKitt will never send communications from personal or generic email accounts. Order-related emails typically come from support@tripkitt.com or another tripkitt.com email address.
- Forged email addresses to make it look like the email is coming from TripKitt.com. Your email program may allow you to hover over or click on an email address to view its original source.
What should I do if I believe I have received a phishing email or if I responded to what may be a phishing email?
If you believe you received a phishing email or responded to what may be a phishing email, TripKitt recommends you update your online passwords, including the password to your TripKitt.com Account, and report the email to the Federal Trade Commission (FTC). Visit the FTC website here to report the email and find more information on how to identify and prevent phishing attacks.

I received an email from TripKitt regarding an order I did not place. What should I do?
If you received correspondence regarding an order you did not place, it likely was not from TripKitt. Do not share any personal information, click any links in the email, or respond to the email, and delete it immediately.
This type of email is known as a phishing campaign. A phishing campaign is an email scam designed to steal personal information from victims. Cybercriminals use phishing, the fraudulent attempt to obtain sensitive information such as credit card details and login credentials, by disguising themselves as a trustworthy organization or reputable person in an email communication.
If you are a TripKitt customer, you can go to your TripKitt Account and view Your Order History to see if there is an order that matches the details in the correspondence. If you are not a TripKitt customer, feel free to contact us to verify whether the email is associated with an actual order.

Payment
Do you accept international credit cards?
Currently TripKitt.com can accept international credit cards but we can only ship to an address within the United States. Please note that the credit card must be issued and contain a logo from either Visa, Mastercard, Discover, or American Express. On the checkout page, there will be a billing and shipping section. Please do the following:
For the billing information
Enter your street address on Address Line 1. Enter your City, County or Province, and Postal Code on Address Line 2. Enter your Country for the city. Enter AA for the state. Enter 11111 for the zip code.
For the shipping information

-
Do you charge sales tax on any item?
As of January 1, 2021, TripKitt only collects sales tax if the ship-to address is in Texas. For states imposing sales or use taxes, your purchase is subject to use tax unless it is specifically exempt from taxation. Your purchase is not exempt merely because it is made over the Internet or by other remote means. Many states require purchasers to file a sales/use tax return at the end of the year reporting all the taxable purchases that were not taxed and to pay tax on those purchases. Details of how to file these returns may be found at the websites of your respective taxing authorities.
When placing an order, I get an error message stating that there has been an authorization failure. What went wrong?
Please double-check the credit card number and expiration date on your card. Also, please be aware that TripKitt.com currently accepts Visa, MasterCard, Discover, and American Express for credit card payment.
Products
How does TripKitt decide what products should be included in each ‘kitt’?
The short answer is that we only include homecare products that we felt are typically included with renting a vacation property. This is strictly from our experience as well as feedbacks from our customers and friends. If you find a product that you think we should consider including in our TripKitt, please email us at support@tripkitt.com.
Do you offer personal care products?
Currently, we do not offer personal care products on TripKitt.com.
What are the differences between the various TripKitt ‘kitts’?
Essentially, each TripKitt contains the same products. Where each TripKitt is different is in the quantity of products included in each Kitt. This is dependent on two primary factors – the number of people in your party and the duration of your trip. If you any questions regarding which ‘kitt’ to purchase, please click on our Kitt Selection Assistant (KSA).
-
What does TripKitt do with unused products?
We have designed each kitt to have ‘just enough’ products to last for the duration of your vacation. That said, we do recognize that there are times when you may have unused products. First, we recommend that you take the unused products home and use it for your family. If on the other hand you want to help, please send the unused products back. We have included a pre-paid return label that can be affixed over the existing shipping label.
When we receive the unused items, we will examine them individually. Products with any defect will be recycled. Unblemished products will be donated to local charities. As a bonus, we will match any unused products returned to us – you know that your good gesture will go a long way. Additionally, we will send you a 20% coupon code that you can use for your next purchase.
Shipping
Is shipping included with each TripKitt?
Shipping is included in each of the three kitts available on TripKitt.com. Qualified products ordered as add-ons will also qualify for free shipping. Free shipping is not available with the “Custom Kitt” product.
What happened if I cancel or change my vacation plan?
If you can notify us before we ship the TripKitt, we will gladly hold or cancel your order. If you notify us after we ship out the TripKitt, we will charge you for the full amount of the order.

Can you ship my TripKitt order to my vacation property rental?
Yes! Yes! Yes! When you are checking out, let us know that you want to ship to a different address (from your billing address). Please provide the address of where you would like for us to ship your Kitt. PLEASE CHECK WITH YOUR PROPERTY MANAGER TO CONFIRM THAT THEY ARE ABLE TO RECEIVE AND HOLD YOUR KITT UNTIL YOU ARRIVE AT THE RENTAL PROPERTY. IF THERE ARE SPECIAL INSTRUCTIONS, PLEASE SHARE THAT INSTRUCTION WITH US IN THE “ORDER NOTES” SECTION. IN THIS SECTION, PLEASE SHARE WITH US THE FOLLOWING INFORMATION:
- Rental Property Management Company / Owner
- Key Contact Name
- Key Contact Phone Number
- Key Contact Email Address
- Your Booking Number / Confirmation (We will only reference this number to ensure that your Kitt is tied to your booking)
We will contact the property owner or manager to arrange for delivery. If for some reason we are not able to arrange the delivery of the TripKitt to your vacation property, we will send your TripKitt to your primary billing address.
Please note that once we ship your Kitt to your vacation rental property (or any other shipping addresses not associated with your billing address), we will not be able to offer a refund/exchange should you cancel your trip. If you are unsure about whether you will need to cancel or make changes to your reservation, please have the Kitt shipped to your billing address. Our products are individually wrapped and are TSA Compliant. As such, they are highly portable and easily fit in your carry-on or checked-in luggage.

No. The prepaid return label is only intended to send any unused items back to TripKitt for distribution to our community partners. We will examine all products sent back, sanitize, or replace as necessary and will send to our respective community partners.
How long does it take for me to get a refund?
For most returns, it takes about 5 - 10 business days for us to get your package at the fulfillment center, inspect your return, process it into inventory, and complete your refund. If the refund is being issued to a credit card, depending on your credit card company, it may take an additional 2 - 10 business days after your credit is applied for it to post to your account.
