US Shipping

If your order is $150 or more, then you are able to receive free standard shipping if the order is shipped to a US address.
 
If your order is $150 or more and you desire an expedited shipping method you will be able to choose between 3 options:
FedEx Express Saver (3 Day by 4:30pm)

There is no free shipping to these countries. The charge for shipping is determined by the weight of your purchase and the country and postal code of your shipping address.

International shipment methods include services from:

  1. Federal Express
  2. US Postal Service

International buyers are responsible for customs duties and brokerage fees. Such duties are not included in the calculated shipping charges. Please note that if you choose FedEx as the carrier, they charge a customs brokerage fee that they will collect directly from you upon delivery.

We prefer that you choose a service that has tracking. The least expensive option is usually U.S. Postal Priority Mail International.

If you choose First Class Mail International service from the United States Postal Service [USPS], then there is no tracking available. You will bear the risk if the package goes missing. Our customers have experienced good service from this shipment method so far, and it is an affordable method. We feel that it is best to have tracking service, but we want our international customers to have the option if they need it.
 
Customers are responsible for any applicable customs, broker fees, duties and taxes which are levied once your package reaches your country. We have no control over these fees, nor any way of determining in advance what the fees will be. You will need to contact your local customs office or post office to get this information.

Shipping times will vary depending on the country. Shipping delays occasionally occur due to customs. Please understand we have no control over this and you will need to deal with your local postal service, customs office (or FedEx) in your regarding delays.

When shipping via the US Postal Service requires some patience. The service is known to be reliable but it can take some time. Please note that the US Post Office requires us to wait 30 day from date of mailing to start a trace; then the trace can take 30 days. The trace must be completed before we can issue a credit or ship replacement items.

All international shipments must list the value of merchandise on the outside of the package for customs reasons. Again, all taxes, duties, brokerage fees and expenses related to importation and compliance with local import country laws are exclusively the responsibility of the recipient.
