SHIPPING AND DELIVERY
PLEASE NOTE:
IMPORTANT INFORMATION FOR OUR CUSTOMERS TO KNOW ABOUT SHIPPING
We do our best to make sure that shipments of your items arrive to you as quickly as possible.
We ship USPS. Our pricing for shipments is just what they charge us. We do not add additional shipping charges. The time frame for arrival to you once we have shipped your items is not within our control. That is up to the USPS, and any questions or concerns regarding your order arrival or should an order not arrive as expected, should be asked of your local Post Office. They have tracking, and can tell you exactly where your package was delivered to.
DELIVERY - The delivery is from the day that your order is shipped out. NOT from the date that you placed your order.
Personalized items, Sized items such as apparel, Sized Jewelry and Apparel, and other items such as from our Home Decor category, are ordered in directly from our vendors once an order for them is placed, and are not kept in inventory here. This means items can take up to 2 weeks (generally 5-10 business days) to arrive here at our company from our vendors. After they arrive here, the order is then packaged and shipped out from our shipping department to the customer on the following business day after we receive it.
Please be prepared to allow up to that two week period of time for your items to arrive after you have placed your order. The time period listed for delivery (such as 2-3 days) is NOT from the day your order is placed. That time period means the number of days after the order has been shipped from us until it arrives to you. USPS Priority mail IS NOT a guaranteed money back delivery service but is a reliable service.
Most of the time items arrive within the listed delivery time frame.
However, there may be exceptions to this time frame during busy times and around USPS-recognized holidays. We will do our best to notify you of any potential delays with your order.
Please Note:
Items shipped directly from the manufacturer or shipping to us from our vendor may take up to 2 weeks for delivery.
In cases of inclement or severe weather please allow for additional delivery time.
Listing incorrect buying or shipping addresses including typos may delay your order. Please make sure to list your full and correct buying/shipping address at checkout
US Shipping Rates
Rates are exactly what the USPS charges us. We DO NOT add upcharges for shipping.
Keep in mind that the USPS has recently had changes in their shipping costs, so it may cost a bit more than previously to ship the same items to the same destinations.
Canada Shipping Rates
Canadian rates are determined by actual USPS size, weight, and destination calculations in real time.
