Shipping Confirmation, Insurance, Lost, Damaged or Stolen Shipments:

  • We ship same day as ordered Monday through Saturday(when viable) if orders are received by 4 pm CST. All our products include standard shipping when shipped within the USA. Please call or email if you need Express shipping and a specific delivery date. For faster shipping we charge only the difference between the actual cost of standard shipping and any additional shipping. Unlike other companies we do not charge more than what we pay for the shipping cost. Ordering over 13 oz. (.368kg) are sent USPS Priority Post or UPS. A shipping confirmation will be automatically emailed to you from the shipping carrier. Orders weighing less than 13 oz. may be sent USPS First Class Post with no shipping confirmation. Orders lost in the mail, refused at the destination, damaged at the delivery destination or not delivered by the postal service can be replaced at an additional cost upon customer's request. We are not responsible for any delays in delivery both domestically and internationally as we cannot control local and international postal services.

Attention Customers with P.O. Boxes (must be sent via USPS):

  • Most shipments are sent using the United Stated Postal Service for Priority (includes delivery confirmation) (orders over 13 oz.) or First Class Mail (does not include delivery confirmation) (orders under 13 oz.). If you prefer to have your order sent to a PO BOX, please indicate this when you check out in the space for notes or comments. Please indicate exactly where you want your order sent to. This information will insure faster delivery time and safe delivery of your order to you.  For Heavier Items that would be less expensive to ship UPS, there may be additional postage required for shipping to a P.O. Box.  We will contact you to see if you'd like us to ship to a street address instead.

  • Incorrect shipping addresses and/or postal codes: Please be careful to list your correct shipping address and/or postal code at check-out. If an incorrect address and/or postal code is given at time of order and shipment is either lost in the mail or not received, the cost, including shipping of sending a replacement order will be the responsibility of the customer.

  • International Customers: Many items have International options as a destination; shipping is included for those items provided the correct destination is selected.  For items that do not show International destination options, there may be additional shipping costs to ship outside the USA. (We will advise you via email if there are additional postage costs required.  The US Postal Service uses Global Post to transfer first class and priority mail from the USA to countries outside the USA. This has made their shipping process more efficient, but delays can occur sometimes. We cannot be responsible for delays or lost orders while they are in transit, nor for shipments held up by other countries at customs.  We guarantee for International shipments that:  Your order has shipped, and that it will reach the destination country.  Once the order reaches the destination country the shipment becomes the responsibility of the receiving country's postal system.  We do not guarantee delivery to the final destination as we cannot be responsible for foreign postal services performance.
  • International customs or postal services may delay the delivery. We are not responsible for lost or stolen orders during shipment.  We are not responsible for any delays in delivery both domestically and internationally as we cannot control local and international postal services.

 

  • If there is additional postage required we will send you an email for the required postage.
  • We SHIP VIA UNITED STATES POSTAL SERVICE (USPS) TO MOST COUNTRIES, or USPS via Global Post.
