FAQs
We're working very hard to get your packages out as quickly as possible. Typically it takes between 2-3 business days for processing/fulfillment but during summer months and high volume times, we ask that you give us a 5-7 business day window. We are processing orders Mon-Fri, therefore any orders placed Friday after 12 PM - Sunday, will not start processing until Monday. Please note that just because you choose USPS Priority Mail Express shipping method, it does not mean that your order goes out the same day you place it. There will always be a processing window, the Next-Day to 2-Day only applies to the shipping speed once the order actually ships.
If you order on a Saturday or Sunday for overnight delivery, the order will not be fulfilled until Monday and therefore it will be delivered on Tuesday.

Unfortunately, once packages are in the carrier's hands, they are out of our control. That being said, we know how frustrating it can be and we are here to help!
If you choose USPS First Class mail our hands are tied. You need to work directly with USPS to resolve this issue, as they do not guarantee insurance to us and we cannot take on their liability when they refuse to reimburse us for lost or damaged packages.
USPS Priority Mail and USPS Priority Mail Express both include insurance.
As a small business, we cannot take on the liability of carriers losing our packages and not reimbursing us for them. We ask for your patience and understanding when working through these issues, as this is something that is very frustrating and time-consuming for us too.
