Shipping & Returns
Shipping Policy
We offer FREE standard shipping within the Continental US States with a minimum order of $100.00 except for bulky or oversized items. We offer discounted rates of up to 50% for orders outside of the USA. We can ship to virtually any address in the world. Note that there are restrictions on some products, and some products cannot be shipped to international destinations. When you place an order, we will estimate shipping and delivery dates for you based on the availability of your items and the shipping options you choose. Depending on the shipping provider you choose, shipping date estimates may appear on the shipping quotes page.
Please also note that the shipping rates for many items we sell are weight-based. The weight of any such item can be found on its detail page. To reflect the policies of the shipping companies we use, all weights will be rounded up to the next full pound.
We always aim to ship in-stock orders on the same day we receive them. As each courier company has a different collection time from our warehouse it is important to note the following cutoff times for same-day shipping:
FedEx: 2.30PM ET
USPS : 12.00PM ET
Standard: 12:00PM ET
Above cutoff times refer to Monday-Friday. Orders received after the cutoff time on a Friday will be processed on the following Monday or working day. Orders are not shipped during holidays. Orders placed close to or after 6.00PM ET will also be sent on the next working day.
In shipping, a business day refers to an official working day - weekends and holidays are excluded.
The following are shipping examples with FedEx Express services sent on a Thursday after the cut off time provided there are no holidays.
FedEx Standard Overnight: If overnight shipping is selected for an order placed on Thursday after 2:30 p.m., it will be shipped on the next business day (Friday) and delivered on Monday. Please contact us to check availability of an optional FedEx Overnight Saturday delivery service in your area. Additional fees will be charged.
FedEx 2-day: An order placed with FedEx 2-Day on Thursday after 2:30 p.m. will be shipped on the next business day (Friday) and delivered the next Tuesday.
FedEx Express Saver: FedEx Express Saver takes 3 business days in transit. Weekends and holidays are excluded.
FedEx Ground delivery within the contiguous U.S. takes 1–5 business days approx. Shipping to Alaska and Hawaii requires 3–7 business days approx.
Services that are not express such as FedEx Ground, USPS First Class and Priority: do not guarantee a delivery date, transit times shown are estimated as a reference only.
In case of shipping delays with express services such as FedEx Overnight, Two-Day and Express Saver the buyer can request a refund for the shipping amount paid based the carrier's delivery guarantee policies. Some exception apply such as inclement weather, pandemic related issues, force majeure, customer unavailable, holiday season and other disruptions. For more details contact the selected carrier's policies.
Please note that orders paid for by credit card (Visa/MasterCard/AMEX) may be subject to random name and address verification checks by our bank. These checks can take a number of hours and may result in certain orders not making the cutoff. We will of course notify any customer where a delay occurs as a result of this verification.
Lost or Stolen Packages:
If your order tracking is showing delivered and you have not received the package please contact your local police department to file a report and contact the shipping carrier to file a claim. We are not responsible for lost or stolen packages that have been confirmed as delivered by shipping carrier.
If your order has been lost during shipment please contact us immediately. Please note that the claims process for a lost shipment may take up to 10 business days to complete and we cannot resend or refund the order until we have confirmation from the carrier that they are not able to locate and deliver the shipment. If your package suffers any damages due to carrier misrouting or mishandling please contact the shipping carrier directly.
Shipment Notification and Tracking:
You will be notified via email when you order is shipped and the carrier and tracking number is provided in your order shipment confirmation. You can track your shipments by logging into the carrier website and entering the tracking number provided.
Need you items by a specific date or time?:
If you need an item on a certain date, always consider that even with the best currier service there is small chance that you package gets delayed, lost, stolen or delivered to the wrong address besides other circumstances . For this reason, we recommend placing your order with plenty of time to let us resolve any unforeseen circumstance (if you have an event for which you purchased an item, always spare an extra week to prepare, and test the equipment) . It is your responsibility to track the shipment with the tracking number that we provide (if you did not get tracking information contact us) and immediately inform us of any delay, error or unusual situation .
Please note that by placing and order with us you agree to our terms and conditions and that we will not be responsible or held liable for any consequential, special, or incidental losses or damages.
Incorrect Shipping Charges:
If you supply incorrect shipping address information that results in an address correction assessed by our shipping carrier a $12.50 charge will be billed to your account on file.
Holding Orders:
If you need us to delay sending an order to you we are happy to hold your order for you. Please include instructions in the comments section at the time of placing the order telling us you wish us to hold it and then instruct us via email when you wish it to ship. Hold requests must be placed in the comments section at the time the order is placed. If you call or email a request to hold your order after the order has been placed we cannot guarantee we can hold the order before it is processed and shipped.
