Standard shipping charges are $5.00
for First Class US Postal Service delivery (unlimited items) within the United
States. Priority, Express, Fed-Ex 2-day and Fed-Ex Overnight options are available for an
additional charge (calculated on checkout).
Special instruction Delivery messages such as "Leave on the porch behind the flower pot"
or "put inside door if not home" will NOT be honored. The postal delivery agencies (US Postal, FedEx, etc) will not
follow these instructions. If there are any issues with your order, we will attempt to contact you via the email
address listed on the order. Please make sure we can respond to this email address, i.e., that it is a valid
email address and that spam filters will not reject the message. If no response is received
regarding an open issue within a reasonable time frame, we will cancel the order. Modifications to an order can
be made before shipment, however, all modifications must be received in writing (via email) from the email address
listed on the order.
We will declare a USPS First Class package lost if it has not been received
in 30 days within the Continental US and 45 to Hawaii. (We have
noticed an increase in the number of delayed packages. About 1 in 1000 unfortunate customers receive their shipments
about 3 weeks late and tell us they have been "opened". We believe this to be a by-product of the increased security
measures).
Orders deemed excessively
risky will ONLY be shipped to the billing address listed on the order. Orders may be subject to
verification, which could delay delivery. Large/high dollar orders and overnight/rush orders will only be shipped to the billing address.

processing time. Checks sent in through the mail require a 2-4 week holding period to allow the check to clear..

we REQUIRE shipment to the PayPal Confirmed Address.

address listed on the form of payment. If it is still within our return period, you may choose to have your purchase(s)
processed as a return. Shipping charges are non-refundable.

unclaimed packages will not be refunded once restocked. Shipping and handling charges are non refundable.

be issued back to the original payment method. For instance, credit card refunds will be refunded back only to the
credit card used for the purchase. If we are unable to issue a credit via the original payment method, the
return can only be used for an in-store credit.

digitially photographed before shipping. Modifications to orders must be received in writing from the email address listed on
the order.
