International Shipping Policies
Due to the fact that all of our packages seem to look sinister traveling through
an X-Ray Machine AND after Having our shipments held at customs for 3 months in
the past we have unfortunately been forced to limit our shipments to within the
United States. We may Offer international shipping in the future, but at this
time we cannot accept any international orders.
Shipping Insurance
All packages are insured for the full value of the contents.
Damaged Packages Due to Transit
If you should receive a damaged parcel or package you must notify us and the carrier immediately so we may claim the damage through the shipping carrier and ship you a replacement order. For us to replace damaged products You MUST Retain the original products in the original packaging to enable the carrier to inspect the damage - We will notify you when the product can be safely thrown away.
Important! - If you have thrown away the damaged products or packaging we cannot help you in replacing the damaged items.
We can not be held responsible for damage caused by the shipping carrier and cannot reship your order overnight just because damage was caused by the shipping company. While we sympathize, we do pack orders with very strong boxes, bubble wrap, extra tape, packing peanuts and plastic bags and paper but sometimes shipping carriers can still manage to destroy a box during transport.
We will replace product and reship your order once we receive information regarding exactly what needs to be replaced from the carrier, but we will re-ship only via the method that was originally requested on the original order. If you want a faster method, you can pay the difference and we are happy to ship according to your wishes. We just can not pay for that difference.
If We have made a shipping error, we will reship products to you as quickly as we can via the method you originally chose. If you the customer have made a shipping address error, you - the customer are responsible for the additional costs for address correction (normally a $10 fee to re-route a package to a different address in transit) charged by UPS - and passed onto you when this fee is billed to us..
If you the customer refuses their shipment, the order is considered a non-authorized return and will incur a 75% Disposal Fee plus retention of all shipping and handling charges.
ALL shipping on orders is non-refundable unless UPS Overnight, 2 Day or 3 Day is used and the carriers guarantee is not met.
While we pack your order with extreme care, the shipping carrier can sometimes still damage the orders. In that event please inspect all packages at the time of acceptance and should you be missing any products or receive goods damaged in-transit, carefully verify the extent of damage in the presence of the driver, if possible, keeping all packing materials and box intact, then notify Us after you have called the shipping carrier so we may start a claim and begin the process of re-shipping damaged items.
If the driver is already gone, then you will need to contact the shipping carrier to inspect the damage or loss to start the claim before a replacement can be sent. New items will be shipped as soon as damaged or missing items have been returned to or verified by us or a Claim number has been issued to us by the carrier.
If you are in a rush, then we suggest that you call us or the shipping carrier immediately to help expedite the process. You must retain the original packing materials until any claim is resolved. If you discard the damaged goods, there may be no refund or credit by the carrier due the fact that the claim to damage will not be able to be verified.
Beginning a claim process should only take a couple days before new items can start to be re-manufactured and re-shipped unless the order is lost in transit. Lost items must be traced by the carrier and can take up to 10 days for resolution.
Please don't vent at us if the shipping company makes a mistake. We will do everything we can to get you your product to you as soon as possible, but we must have resolution of status from the carrier before we can reship.

If UPS or USPS has difficulty delivering your shipment, you must make arrangements for proper delivery with us or with the carrier before your shipment is returned to us. UPS Will return packages after 3 delivery attempts, USPS immediately upon insufficient delivery data, it is you-the customer's responsibility to properly provide a correct deliverable shipping address upon checkout or make arrangements with UPS to pick-up your package before the package is returned to us.

either knowingly or unknowingly at checkout.
