SHIPPING

Shipping is FREE for packages weighing up to 13 oz. to all 50 United States via USPS First Class Mail Parcel Post. In-stock items will be shipped within 48 hours of receiving cleared payment (excluding weekends and holidays) AND provided you, the buyer have left *clear* instructions as to choice/selection (if applicable). I do not break orders and will ship in as few packages as possible. I ship to the address indicated on Paypal/Google. It takes anywhere from 2 - 9 days for Parcel Post delivery service, with most of my customers receiving their items within 3 days. A tracking number will be provided but bear in mind that the USPS may/may not update shipping information on a daily basis. I am not responsible for delays due to the postal system and should not be downgraded for issues that are out of my control.

PRIORITY MAIL UPGRADE:

If your package weighs less than 70 lbs, for an additional $7, you can upgrade from domestic free shipping to priority mail with the USPS. With this option, trackable packages reach their destination in 2-3 days.

EXPEDITED DOMESTIC (within the US) SHIPPING:

In a hurry? Next day air or Rush delivery requests must be sent by "Instructions to Seller" while ordering or by e-mailing me. I use Fedex, DHL or USPS Express Mail. I will need your *phone number* to ship so kindly include that when you check out. This will incur an extra charge depending on the weight of your item(s) starting at $20 and must be paid for before 12 midnight of the day of mailing.

FLAT RATE INTERNATIONAL SHIPPING:

There is a flat rate shipping charge of $20 USD on most international purchases up to 13 oz. ($12 USD for Canada & Mexico). The rate is the same, whether you buy one or multiple items from the store (up to 13 oz). At the moment, I only ship to the countries listed via USPS First Class Mail International Parcel Post. If your country is not listed, contact me to request mailing options (if any). For example, I only ship via Fedex to certain countries because of their Customs restrictions. Please provide me with your telephone number, as this is required to receive a shipping quote.

The buyer is responsible for any custom import/export duties. Please note that depending on where you live, delays can result because of slow customs clearance. I ask for your understanding if this situation arises. Please recognize that this is beyond my control, but I'll do what I can to help.
