Q. Are there shipping options?

For your convenience, you have a choice of FedEx Ground, FedEx 2nd Day Air or FedEx Express (Overnight) shipping. If you have a P.O. Box, we will ship by United State Postal Service (USPS) Priority Mail - the cost of which may be higher based on weight. Please note that our shipping and delivery days are Monday-Friday, excluding holidays. Express and 2nd Day Air orders must be placed by NOON (12PM ) Pacific Standard Time to be shipped within 48 hours. Orders placed after noon on Friday will be considered with Monday orders. Ground shipments should arrive within 1-5 business days from ship date. Please allow additional time for items drop-shipped from our partners (these will have a note on the item's product page stating that they are drop-shipped). Back to Top

Q. How do you determine shipping charges?

Shipping charges are determined by weight and by service. Our shipping prices start as low as $5.95 for Fedex Ground delivery. Priority Mail rates are different than Fedex Ground, and may be higher in some cases. Back to Top

Q. Are your shipping rates ever higher than what I see in the shopping cart? Are there any fees that are not shown?

It is very rare that shipping charges are different from what is posted in your shopping cart on a Domestic Ground Shipment. If you request special handling, we may pass along any charges that we are assessed by the shipment carrier. In any event, it is our policy to notify you to get your approval on any differences in shipping costs before an item ships. We do not charge handling fees for Domestic Ground Shipments, only on International Orders. Back to Top

Q. How long before you ship my order?

Most orders of in-stock, non-handmade items will be shipped out (leave our facility) within 2-3 business days of receipt if received by NOON (12PM) Pacific Standard Time (PST) Monday-Friday. This is called a Standard Order. Handmade items will usually ship out within 3-4 business days following the order. If stock items cannot ship out within 2-3 business days, we will attempt to notify you via email. Please note that gift-wrap option will require additional time before shipment. If you need your order by a certain date, please let us know in the Comments section of the Checkout form. Back to Top
