Why do my rubber bands break?

It is normal to have about 3% defective bands within each bag of bands due to the normal manufacturing process. Please check your loom and hook to make sure that there are no sharp edges that may cut the bands. You can use a nail file to remove the sharp edges from the loom and hook. Our warranty information can be found at https://rainbowloom.com/pages/warranty-policy.

How do I stop my rubber bands from sticking together?

To unstick the rubber bands, please massage a small amount of hand or body lotion onto the bands and pull them apart. Gradually add more lotion if needed. They should stay separated once they are thinly coated with some lotion. 

How to protect and prolong the life of my Rainbow Loom creations?

If your creations will be exposed to sunlight or UV light, we recommend a clear sunblock such as Banana Boat Sport Ultra Clear Sunscreen Spray or Coppertone Sport Clear SPF 50 Sunscreen Lotionon Amazon.  You may also use both hand lotion and a clear sunblock for extra protection.

Why is my Visa, MasterCard, Amex, or Discover prepaid/gift card rejected or declined?

Please make sure that the billing address that you enter on our website’s checkout page matches the prepaid card's registered address. Most prepaid cards allow you to add an address to the card for online purchases. Some have websites that allow you to register your address, while others require that you call a number on the back of the card. Alternatively, the prepaid card's registered address might be printed on back of the card or on the paper that came with the card. If you have obtained the prepaid card from a fund raising event or charity, the charitable organization’s billing address might be the card’s registered address.  Additional information can be found at https://www.giftcards.com/gcgf/using-visa-gift-cards-online.

Do you offer discount coupons or promotional codes?

We do not offer Rainbow Loom discount coupons or promotional codes. Our website always shows our best prices so that every customer can take advantage of our best offers.

How do I use scratch-off Secret Codes?

At one time, there was a lot of counterfeit Rainbow Looms. The Secret Code was used to authenticate Rainbow Loom products on our website so that buyers can find out if they have purchased an original Rainbow Loom. Buyers will also get access to additional instructional videos when they authenticate their products. We have since discontinued the authentication feature so the Secret Code does not serve any function anymore. All the tutorial videos are available publicly now at https://rainbowloom.com/pages/instructions.

Where will my order be shipped from?

Your order will be shipped from Rainbow Loom LLC, 625 N Washington Ave., Wichita, KS 67214, United States.
