Shipping and Returns

1. When will my order ship?

   Please note shipping timeframes do not include time needed to fulfill your order. Orders may take up to 3-5 business days to be fulfilled and shipped. You can view our shipping policies here.

   Preorder items will note their shipping timeframes in the item's description in the shop, as well as on the checkout + order confirmation pages and in your order confirmation email.

2. How much is shipping?

   Shipping rates for items from the shop will vary by service type and weight/size of order. Refer to the checkout page for accurate shipping and handling amounts. More shipping information can be found here.

3. What is the return policy?

   Please review all items carefully before a purchase is made as all sales are final, including orders not yet shipped. All items in your cart are listed for review before purchase. In addition, completed orders are listed on your account under My Orders. Please review those items, as these terms apply to duplicate items as well.

4. How will my order be shipped?

   Though we use a variety of shipping methods, our two primary methods of shipping are United States Postal Service and UPS. The shipping method used for each order will be determined by several factors including the weight/size of your package, the type of package, and the shipping destination. Please note shipping timeframes do not include time needed to fulfill your order. Visit our shipping page for further clarification.

5. I haven't received my order. What now?

   Please review your shipping address on your order details to ensure all information is correct. For domestic orders with economy service, we can declare a package as lost or missing once it has been 30 days post shipment date. 

   Please note that it may take longer than usual for your order to arrive. International economy shipping service is experiencing transit and delivery delays. Both shipping and customs processes are backlogged at this time. Because of this, we are not deeming orders lost in the normal 45 day period. We are asking for more time for these packages to make their way to you before declaring them lost. If you never receive your package, we will absolutely honor our lost parcel policy. Please visit our shipping page for more shipping information.

6. Priority Fulfillment

   By requesting Priority Fulfillment for your order, our warehouse will prioritize your shipment in the picking process to help ensure your order gets out the door as quickly as possible.  **Please note that choosing this option does not decrease the transit time once the shipment leaves our facility.  The shipment will still be subject to the normal transit time that is outlined in our Shipping Policy.  If you would like to decrease the transit time on your shipment, please choose either the Upgraded or Expedited option.

7. Order Protection Coverage

   To ensure a worry-free shopping experience, we offer the option of order protection coverage for $2.99. This coverage safeguards your purchase against loss, theft, or damage during transit. With order protection coverage, you can enjoy peace of mind knowing that, in the unlikely event that your package is lost or arrives damaged, we will work diligently to resolve the issue by either replacing your item or issuing a refund. **Please note that claims must be reported within 30 days of the expected delivery date.
