We ship via USPS within 1 business day of your purchase. If an order is received and paid before 9:00 AM (Pacific time), we will ship the same business day. "Business Days" are Monday through Friday, excluding federal holidays.
All orders are shipped with tracking numbers. This is a no-additional-cost feature of USPS First-Class and Priority package services. Tracking numbers are required to take full advantage of Etsy's buyer and seller protections. They are also necessary in the unlikely event that your order is damaged or lost in transit.
When USPS provides delivery estimates, Sundays and holidays count as additional days. If there are service disruptions in your area due to catastrophic weather conditions, we will be notified of that situation by USPS and will pass that on to you.
If you purchase more than one item, we will gladly combine shipping. If you use the shopping cart and purchase all your orders in one transaction, Etsy will combine and calculate the shipping. If there are multiple transactions, we can combine shipping after the fact and refund the excess paid at the collective checkouts. (We can also create custom private listings for to combine your orders prior to checking out. Just let us know and we'll gladly set that up.)
If we find that we can ship your orders for less than the amount you paid for shipping at checkout, we will refund the excess to your Etsy method of payment.
INTERNATIONAL BUYERS:
Although Etsy will provide you with an estimated shipping cost, we strongly encourage you to contact us before making a purchase in order that we can find the best rates available at that particular time for the specific combination of items you would like to purchase. We know how onerous international shipping rates can be, so we are more than happy to help you find the best rates for your situation.
We have shipped to over 75 different countries so we have a bit of experience in international shipping.
All international purchases will be accompanied by the appropriate US Customs declarations and will show the Etsy purchase price as the value of the goods. Sorry, but we cannot make exceptions as that would be contrary to the law. Also, we must declare the purchase as "Merchandise." Please do ask us to declare your purchases as a "Gift" as that would require us to make a fraudulent declaration even if you intend to make a gift to a third party of the items you have purchased.
The buyer is responsible for any tariffs, duties, or other fees imposed by their government on goods received from abroad. If you are uncertain of how this will impact you, please contact the appropriate office of your government (usually customs) for information. We can often provide some very basic information, but the best source for this information is always the government office responsible for such things in your country of residence.
