Once a merchandise order is submitted online, we rush it to the warehouse for processing. Once it has been shipped, we are unable to cancel the order. However, if you call us right away after you submit the order, there is a chance we can cancel or change it before it is shipped. To cancel or change your Highlights merchandise order, immediately call the Highlights Customer Service toll-free number 1-800-422-6202, Monday–Friday, 8 a.m. – 6 p.m. Eastern Time. Please phone us with your request. Emailing risks delay. If we are unable to discontinue or change your order and it is processed, you can refuse shipment and the merchandise can be returned to Highlights without charge. Oftentimes, a carrier representative will deliver the box to you in person and you can refuse shipment on the spot. To refuse a shipment that has been left, you must return the UNOPENED box to the same carrier (e.g. UPS, USPS, or others) who brought it to you. While the United States Postal Service does not charge for this, other carriers may charge a fee for returning a package that has been left.
