SHIPPING

Shipping and order processing will take at minimum 4- 5 business days to be processed and packaged before they are shipped out of our store. Once your order has shipped, it will ship via the shipping method selected and paid for at checkout.

If there is a problem with your tracking number or package delivery, please contact the courier directly prior to contacting us. Please allow 1-4 business days for your tracking information to show. In some rare cases, tracking information may not update, but you will still receive your order. Please contact us after the estimated delivery time has passed.

All our shipments include Tracking with Delivery Confirmation. If your tracking information confirms that the item has been delivered to your order address, but you have not received your order, please contact the carrier directly to investigate this issue. We cannot be held accountable for packages where tracking information states the package has been delivered to your order address.

We are NOT responsible if the package is not delivered in the guaranteed shipping times as it may take 1-2 business days to process the order and we cannot be held liable for UPS, FedEx, or USPS guarantees. If the item is not delivered in time, please contact USPS, UPS, or FedEx. We will NOT refund additional shipping charges if USPS, UPS, or FedEx fails to meet their guaranteed shipping times.

WRONG ADDRESS DISCLAIMER:

It is the responsibility of the buyer to make sure that she or he enters the shipping address correctly. We are not responsible if a package is shipped back to us due to an incorrect or undeliverable address. We do our best to speed up processing and shipping times, hence there is a very small time gap to cancel/change your order or to change the address of the order. If you decide to cancel your order or change your shipping address, please call and leave a voicemail or text us at (920) 425-7002 as soon as you place your order. We will do our best to make the change, however we cannot guarantee that we will be able to do so. If our shipping staff contacts you regarding an incorrect address and a reply is not received from the customer within 24 hours, the order will be cancelled and refunded.

We cannot guarantee that you will or will not be charged any customs taxes or duties. You are responsible for all applicable customs, duties, taxes and fees charged by your government. Please contact your country's customs office for respective charges and rates on package coming outside of your country.

We are unable to advise the amount of what these fees might be & we recommend that you contact your country's customs office or tax agent for respective charges and rates on a package coming outside of your country.
