What happens if my package is lost or stolen?

We understand how frustrating it can be when a package goes missing. To help protect your order, we offer MonkProtect at checkout. If you choose to add this protection, we can assist with replacements or refunds for lost or stolen items.

However, if you opt out of MonkProtect, 42 Birds is not liable for any lost or stolen packages once they have been picked up by the carrier from our warehouse. In such cases, we recommend reaching out directly to the carrier to file a claim.

How do I file a claim with MonkProtect? 

MonkProtect is a premium package protection insurance for online orders. When you add MonkProtect at checkout, you can easily file claims for lost, stolen or damaged packages in the unfortunate case that they arise.

Purchased MonkProtect and need to file a claim? File here. You’ll need the email you placed the order with and order number. 

Products

How do I clean my cork yoga mat?

Because cork is anti-microbial and anti-static, it does not need any chemical sprays. For general cleaning we recommend using the a natural cleaner once a week or so depending on use to keep it fresh.

How should I store my yoga mat?

The best way to store your yoga mat is to keep it flat or rolled. You don’t want to fold your mat, since that can crease the cork.

What are the dimensions of 42 Birds mats?

Each mat varies in size but the specifications can be found under "Benefits" within each mat's product page. If you're having trouble deciding what mat is best for you, shoot us a note at hello@42birds.com and we'd be more than happy to help!

Should I get a roller or balls to start my rolling routine?

Ideally both :) But the way to think about the difference is balls are better for trigger points and more targeted areas like really getting deep into your shoulders, the roller can be better for larger areas like rolling your quads.

Company

Where does the cork come from?

Our cork is harvested from cork forests in Portugal where 55% of the world’s cork comes from.

What’s with the name?

42 is the number of bird species in the cork forests according to 100% Cork. We also just love birds.
