Shipping & Delivery

Domestic:

All U.S. shipments are sent insured USPS Priority Mail (a 2-3 day service). Insurance covers for loss or damage while in transit, up until they reach their destination. You should receive a USPS delivery confirmation email the same day you placed an order with us(if we have your email). All orders usually get shipped the same day they are received (if all items are in our inventory), and you should get your package in 2-3 days. For all orders $105 or over, $4.65 is deducted for free shipping discount, but $2.30 will still remain to cover the insurance fee.

International:

We charge a flat rate of $30.95.  For Canada, if shipping is less, we refund the difference.

Orders under $105.00 are shipped Priority International.

Orders over $105.00 are shipping Express International.
