Shipping
Shipping Methods: USPS First Class/Priority Mail and UPS ground are the only methods we use. Depending on the size of the order we will determine the best method of shipping. All items are packaged carefully so that they arrive in one piece. Tracking information is provided via email to the address of record at the time of shipment.
We generally ship Monday through Friday. We typically ship within one to two business days from order excluding holidays. Please allow 5-7 business days from order date for delivery unless otherwise specified in the listing.
We do not ship to international addresses outside of the United States at this time.
Lost Shipments (for packages shown as delivered):
• Verify the shipping address
• Look for a notice of attempted delivery
• Look around the delivery location for the package
• See if someone else accepted the delivery
• Wait 24 - 48 hours as some packages can show delivered while still in transit
• For USPS shipments leave a timely note of inquiry for the carrier at the mail box
It is the buyer's responsibility to file a claim with the appropriate carrier for all missing parcels shown as delivered. USPS, UPS and FedEx utilize GPS scanning technology as validation of delivery location. We highly recommend that orders are shipped to single unit residential or business addresses.
Non Deliverable Parcels: Orders returned as non deliverable to the customer provided address can be reshipped at an additional expense or refunded for product cost.
Expedited Shipping: Customers should place their order and then request an expedited shipping cost surcharge and due date through the shop contact page. If expediting is required after order review, we will email a surcharge S&H invoice for approval. In general, expedited shipping charges can be expensive for small orders or heavy items relative to the actual product cost.
