As a street team volunteer, you will have the purr-fect chance to interact with like-minded individuals and showcase your love and knowledge of all things furry and fun!~ We are currently on the search for enthusiastic volunteers to help spread the fluffy joy that is Pawstar! This could be at conventions or even online events through platforms like Twitch or Discord! 


Why volunteer with Pawstar? Apart from being surrounded by fur-tastic individuals, as a volunteer you will also receive fabulous perks & benefits! We have lined up some fantastic incentives and the more you help, the more you can get back! There will be 4 tiers of volunteers with 2 of them being convention related and 1 being online. You are more than welcome to sign up for one, none, all four, or any combination in between! Each tier will get different rewards based on the difficulty and expectations.


Still interested? Keep reading to find out about tiers, incentives and more! 

Tier I : Influencers. 

  1. PAID INFLUENCERS 

  • Paid Influencers are Contract Based. Each contract will be unique and specific to the influencer in question. If you are interested in being an influencer, after filling out our inquiry form you will be contacted for additional information. 

  • Some things we will ask for, for example: 

    • What do you do, and what platform(s) do you do it on? 

    • A link to your accounts / example content / following base. 

    • Have you ever been an influencer for a company before? 

    • What are your general expectations compensation-wise? 

  • Paid Influencers will already need to possess some type of following. Please do not apply for this Street Team level unless you are qualified and genuinely interested in creating a contract with us. 


  1. SPONSORED INFLUENCERS

  • Sponsored influencers are similar to Paid Influencers, however you do not need to necessarily have a huge following. This is an option for smaller influencers. Instead of being paid in cash you can earn free products, company gift card/credits, etc. This will also generate a discount code for your followers to use. For each use of your discount code you will earn credit on your own account for future purchases. 

    • This tier is something that you are welcome to apply for, however it can also be earned via Tier IV : Virtual Helpers // Volunteer Creators as well if you become a Trusted Creator. You are more likely to be accepted into this tier via working your way up, but if you are an influencer that doesn’t have the following for the paid tier this is a great way to get started, too! 

Tier II : Con Staff : Setup/Takedown

  1. These Street Team members will be trusted to help the Pawstar Team with Setup/Takedown at Conventions! Setup is generally done on Thursday prior to the Convention. Takedown is on Sunday as soon as the Dealer’s Hall closes. Please keep in mind if this is something you sign up for, we are trusting you to be there! If for any reason this changes, please notify us ASAP.

  • Pawstar Hype Team! 

  • This will be the main role of virtual helpers. This is for people just interested in helping out by being active in the discord, commenting and engaging in things on social media, etc. Nothing extra is required or expected. Just be engaging, be a fan, be you! 

  • Online Event Helpers!

  • This is earned, if interested. If you’ve been an active Street Team member and are interested in helping in additional ways you can request to advance to an Online Event Helper! This can be things like assisting with Discord/Twitch events etc. Eventually this could lead to a moderator role for said Platforms. Event helpers will be compensated with Loyalty Paw Points credited to their Pawstar.com account. Points will be evaluated per event and when you sign up/assist in events you will know the value ahead of time. Some tasks will be worth more than others. 

  • Volunteer Creators!

  • For members interested in helping content-wise on a volunteer/rewards basis. This is something that you will need to be accepted into. You do not need a following for this. If you want to stream content to the Pawstar Twitch account, Create online content for us to use, etc.

Product Care & Feeding

For Fleece:

To keep your fleece looking best, wash using cold or lukewarm water and powdered soap and allow to drip dry. If powdered soap is not available, you may use liquid soap, but be sure to add it to the water and not directly to the fleece. Fleece items are hydrophobic and dry very quickly on their own. There is no need to put fleece in the dryer, just hang them and allow to dry.


For Furs:

Try your best not to get the fur dirty. If you do have to wash it, hand wash with a gentle soap (such as Woolite©) and allow to drip dry. It is very, very important that you do not attempt to dry fur in a dryer. Faux fur is made of thin strands of acrylic and is easily damaged by heat. For best results we recommend hang drying these articles.


For Leather:

If the surface is dirty, rinse with clean water and wipe excess water away with a dry cloth. Make sure leather dries completely so it will not mold. Leather shine products (such as Mink Oil) should be applied periodically to keep the leather from drying out. If our leather products are properly cared for they will last for many years.


For Acrylic:

Rinse with lukewarm water and hand soap and pat dry, then wipe the surface clean with a microfiber lens cloth as needed.
 



For Electronics:

Avoid contact with excess moisture or liquids. Be gentle when making adjustments or handling moving parts.

Orders & Shipping
My order never got to me, what do I do?

If it's been marked delivered and it's only been one day, please sit tight! Sometimes the carriers scan it before it gets to you. Keep an eye out for the next few hours!

If the tracking hasn’t been updated in an unusually long time or if it was never updated since it was made, it is possible the package was lost in transit. As a first step we recommend filing a Missing Mail Search Request using USPS's help form at this link: https://www.usps.com/help/missing-mail.htm

If USPS is unable to find your package after your Missing Mail Search Request, please contact us. While Pawstar is not responsible for lost or damaged packages, in these cases we are able to file a package insurance claim with you so you can be compensated. Per Shipsurance policy for package loss, we have to wait 20 calendar days (Domestic shipments) or 40 calendar days (International shipments) before we can file an insurance claim.

If the shipping address was a temporary location, we do not assume responsibility if the recipient is no longer at that address upon delivery within the projected shipping timeline. As the sender, we are unable to reroute a package after it leaves our doors.


Please check with the shipping carrier and/or your local post office before contacting Pawstar customer support.

How long will it take to receive my order?

We do our best to keep as many items in stock as possible at Pawstar HQ, but as we are a small business this is not always possible. If your item is in stock and ready to ship it should be on its way within 3-5 business days. If your item is a color-swap, custom, or made-to-order item please allow 3-8 weeks for production. Production time varies based on our current work load and event schedule.

Once your order leaves Pawstar HQ it in the hands of USPS. If you see any issue during the transit process please contact USPS help center as we do not have control over their delivery system or schedule. Always check with your local post office before contacting Pawstar customer service.

What shipping service do you use?

All Pawstar orders with the exception of large bulk textile orders are shipped vie USPS Priority, or USPS international Priority. We do not offer express shipping, or alternative carriers at the time.

Please be aware that USPS works with other carriers to assist in international deliveries. Please contact USPS directly with any questions or concerns related to international shipping.

How do I track my order?

When your order ships you will receive a separate email providing you with a tracking number to track your order. Sometimes this email gets sorted into spam or promotions folders so be sure to take a look in there if it feels like you have been waiting a little too long.

You can also log into your account and click on the order in question to see the status.

*Please note that sometimes the tracking can take a day or two to be updated by the carrier. If it looks like its not moving, chances are its on its way!
