I usually ship all orders by next business day for items that I have in stock (unless my website indicates that I am on vacation or that orders will be delayed), I always ship orders within 2-3 business days. Custom orders and back order items will be shipped as soon as I have the item(s) in stock. Contact me and I can give you an estimate of when I will have the item(s) in stock to ship if you are going to back order or have a custom request.
I charge a flat rate of $6.50 shipping all of my orders. I ship within the United States via USPS Ground Advantage which has a 3-7 day ship time depending on the destination. All orders include $100 insurance that covers loss or damage during shipping. I generally add insurance to cover orders that are significantly more than $100.
I don’t offer free shipping. My items can be quite delicate, so I need to pack them carefully and with rough travel in mind. That means that it usually takes extra/custom padding, thicker boxes and sometimes even double boxing to make sure that all of my items arrive in perfect condition. All of that takes more time and materials than something that is already packaged and just needs to be put in a box for shipping.
At this time I do not have a flat rate for international shipping. There are just too many different variables like VAT or broker fees, for me to be able to calculate a good average for shipping to international buyers, so I ask that you contact me if you want something shipped outside of the United States so I can research the actual shipping cost.
If your package is lost or damaged in shipping I will work with you and the mail carrier to recover damages or loss. Once the claim has been accepted I will re-ship the item(s) if possible or refund your purchase if I don’t have the item(s) in stock.
Most items are covered by my Refund & Returns Policy for 30 days after purchase, though you are responsible for any return postage.
