All of our shipments are made using the United States Postal Service, unless circumstances warrant using another method. We take packages to the post office every day that the United States Postal Service is open for business.
All shipments are made with a delivery confirmation, that lets us know when you receive your shipment. You may receive a notice with a tracking number. This tracking number is used by the USPS only to report the delivery of the shipment, and normally does not furnish status before the shipment is delivered. Normally, the shipment is received before the delivery confirmation information is available on the USPS website. Our delivery obligation ends when we deliver shipments to the United States Post Office or other shipping agency.
DOMESTIC SHIPMENTS
Domestic Shipments 13 ounces or less will be shipped First Class Mail in either a padded envelope or small box, and will take anywhere from 2 to 4 days. Shipments over 13 ounces are made by either Priority Mail or Parcel Post at your option. Normal delivery time for Priority Mail is between 2 to 3 days. Normal delivery time for Parcel Post is up to 7 days. Express mail is also available and is normally next day service and could possibly be 2nd day service. Insurance for domestic shipments is available.
INTERNATIONAL SHIPMENTS
International shipments are also made using the United States Postal Service. Our preferred method of shipping items less than 4 pounds is Airmail Letter Post and will take anywhere from 4 to 10 days. Our preferred method for shipping items over 4 pounds is Airmail Parcel Post (4-10 days). Other methods are Global Priority Mail (4-6 Days), Global Express (3-5 Days), and Global Express Guaranteed (1-3 Days). Another international shipping option is Global Economy (4-6 Weeks), which we strongly recommend against using. Insurance is not available for Airmail Letter Post or Global Economy. Insurance may be available or included on Airmail Parcel Post, Global Priority, Global Express or Global Express Guaranteed shipments depending upon the destination.
