Shipping FAQ
How much is shipping and handling?
We do not make money on shipping! Our
web site interfaces with the United States Postal Service web site to
calculate your shipping amount as accurately as possible. Your shipping amount
varies based on where you live and what you order.
To see a shipping estimate, click on an order button or link. Midway down
the page you'll see a shipping estimate. Put in your full shipping address for
an exact shipping amount.
We ship to the U.S. via Priority Mail (3-5 business days) and Global
Priority Mail or Global Express Mail to the rest of the world.
Priority Mail offers delivery confirmation. If you'd like tracking for an
international shipment, choose Global Express Mail.
When will my package be shipped?
Orders are typically shipped the next business day.
How long will it take for my package to arrive?
According to the USPS web site, Priority Mail takes 3 - 5 days, Global
Express Mail 3 - 5 days, and Global Priority, 4 - 6 days. These are typical
delivery times but packages are not guaranteed to arrive in that time. Also,
please note that these are business days and do not include Saturday, Sunday
and national holidays.
How can I track the progress of my order?
Often, we'll send you an email with your tracking number as soon as we have
it. In most cases, we'll also have a tracking number on file that we can send
at your request. For international shipments: Global Priority does not offer
tracking. If you'd like tracking for your international shipment, choose
Global Express Mail.
Can I ship to a PO Box?
Yes. However there are two problems with shipping to P.O. Boxes.
1) Sometimes the article is lost or stolen at the P.O. Box.
2) Fraudulent purchasers who receive the product can claim that the product
was never received.
This problem is so severe that many shippers refuse to ship to P.O. Boxes!
Here's our policy for P.O. Boxes.
We ship to P.O. Boxes and offer the same "return it for a refund (in usable
condition) if you don't like it" guarantee. If the purchaser claims the item
was not received, we will ship a second identical item to them via a postal
method that includes tracking. Both parties agree that if the tracking
indicates the item was delivered, the item is considered to have been
delivered. This second item will have no refund guarantee.
International Orders
Do you ship internationally?
Yes.
How much does it cost?
We do not make money on shipping!
Your shipping amount varies based on where you live and what you order.
We ship internationally via Global Priority Mail or Global Express Mail. If
you'd like tracking for an international shipment, choose Global Express Mail.
Can you put a low value on my package contents so I won't have to pay
import fees?
We declare a low value on all packages so that packages clear customs
quickly and with minimum fuss.
Other Shipping Information
My shopping cart program is set to give you only the appropriate shipping
options for your address. Occasionally, an order slips through where an
inappropriate shipping method has been selected. In this case, we reserve the
right to substitute a different shipping method at no cost to you.
