Getting Help With Your Order

Learn how to contact your activity provider directly for refunds, schedule changes, questions, or order issues. Providers are independent businesses with their own policies and response times.

Written by Dana Browne

📝 Overview

Each activity provider on Sawyer is an independently owned business with unique terms, refund policies, and cancellation policies. Whether you need to request a refund, reschedule a class, ask questions about your activity, or resolve an order issue, the best first step is to contact your provider directly. They have access to your account details and can assist with most order-related requests. This guide explains how to reach out and what topics you can discuss with them.


📞 How to Contact Your Provider

Click here to learn how to reach your activity provider

  1. Log in to your Sawyer account at hisawyer.com

  2. Navigate to your Orders page to view your order history

  3. Locate the order or activity you need help with

  4. Click the Contact Provider button on the order

  5. A provider contact screen will appear showing the provider's email address

  6. Click on the email address to automatically open an email composition window, or copy it to contact them separately

💡 You'll see "Contact Provider" options both at the top and bottom of the order details page for your convenience.


💬 Reasons to Contact Your Provider

Your provider can assist you with many order-related needs. You can reach out to them for:

  • Request a cancellation or refund

  • Request a transfer or enroll in a different class

  • Purchase additional items for the class (supplies, materials, fees, etc.)

  • Report your absence from an upcoming activity

  • Ask about class location or logistics

  • Pay your balance early

  • Cancel memberships or future recurring payments

  • General class questions (time, supplies needed, class size, instructor info, etc.)

  • Any other order-specific issues or requests

Since each provider sets their own policies and terms, they're the best resource for questions specific to their business, class policies, or your account with them.


📋 What to Expect When You Contact a Provider

Response Times

Most providers respond within 24-48 hours during business hours. Response times may vary depending on the provider's availability and how busy they are with classes. Be patient and allow time for them to reply.

Provider Independence

Remember that providers are independent businesses. They set their own:

  • Refund and cancellation policies

  • Terms and conditions

  • Class policies and schedules

  • Response communication methods

This means policies and procedures may vary from provider to provider.


📋 When to Contact Sawyer Support Instead

Most order issues should be directed to your provider first. However, you can contact Sawyer support if you:

  • Have issues with the Sawyer Marketplace platform itself

  • Need help with your Sawyer account (login, payment methods, account settings)

  • Have concerns about a review or community standards violation

  • Cannot reach your provider after multiple attempts and need assistance

Refunds are handled by the activity provider, not Sawyer. Providers set their own refund policies and handle all refund requests. Contact the provider directly to request a refund. It's best to reach out as soon as possible, as providers may have specific refund windows or deadlines.

Cancellations and transfers are handled by your provider. Contact them directly to discuss your options. Be aware that providers may have their own cancellation and transfer policies, and some may charge fees or have specific deadlines.

What if I have a complaint about a provider?
