Shipping Methods and Timeline
All regular product orders will be shipped out within 1-2 business days. Orders consisting of bundles will ship within 3-5 business days (not weekends and/or holidays). Orders within the USA are shipped via several carriers depending on size and weight:
Please note that our delivery estimates are based on information provided by our carriers, including UPS and USPS. These carriers may currently experience delays in the transfer and delivery of your packages, which could have a slight effect on the delivery time. Please monitor your tracking regularly for any delivery updates pertaining to your order.
Regular shipping usually takes 3-5 business days. Expedited shipping (2-day or 3-day) & Overnight shipping orders must be placed by 2PM Eastern time to meet delivery commitment timelines. Expedited & Overnight delivery is calculated based on BUSINESS DAYS (e.g. 2nd day air ordered on Thursday before 2 PM will be delivered Monday if not a holiday). Any order placed after 2PM Eastern will increase your delivery by a day. UPS does not deliver on Saturday, Sunday or major holidays.

Products Returned to Sender:
If for any reason your order is returned to sender we are able to reship the order to you. Please note that there will be a reshipment fee of $4.99 for any Free Bundle order and $9.99 for any Standard Product order.
Payment Methods:
We accept VISA, MASTERCARD, DISCOVER & AMEX. All credit cards are electronically verified by FirstData via a SSL bit secure server prior to billing and shipping for your security. We also provide the option of paying via Apple Pay which is processed through FirstData secure servers.
Credit Card Authorizations, Charges & Fraud Alerts:
If you place an order and it is cancelled, you will receive an email from NoFraud stating the card triggered a fraud alert or why your order could not be processed. Unless your order went through successfully, you are not being charged. Typical reasons for credit cards being declined/cancelled are entering an incorrect billing address that your bank has on file for your credit card or the incorrect spelling of the name into our system. You will need to contact your bank and correct your billing information with them. In the event of a fraud alert, we cannot process your transaction regardless of what your bank says.
Returns, Refunds:
We accept returns on new, unopened, and undamaged items in original packaging within 30 days from the order date. All returns are subject to a 15% restocking fee and our shipping costs. The customer must contact us prior to returning product(s). We do not give refunds on opened products.
If you are missing an item or the item that you receive is damaged, then please contact us and we will send out a replacement free of any shipping costs to you. You must notify us within 3 days of receipt of the package.
If a refund is deemed necessary, then we will manually refund your transaction for the appropriate amount for the returned items. Chargebacks will not be taken lightly and will subject the client to being put on the no-sell list. Refunds will only be issued after the items have been returned to us.
If a product is missing from your order, please contact us immediately upon receipt of the package. Once we verify the legitimacy of the claim, we will send the missing item to you. All orders are documented and weighed prior to shipping to avoid any fraudulent claims.
Changing/Cancelling Orders:
Once an order is placed, it cannot be changed. Please double-check your shopping cart before checking out to be sure it is correct. We cannot guarantee the ability to cancel orders. Many are shipped the same business day, and once an order is shipped it cannot be cancelled.
Refused Shipments:
Refused shipments are subject to a 15% restocking fee plus return shipping. If you wish to cancel an order, it is your responsibility to cancel the order prior to the product(s) being shipped. If you cancel an order after it has been shipped, or you refuse the shipment, the return will be subject to a 15% restocking fee and any shipping charges incurred.
Damaged Shipments:
All claims for damaged shipments must be made within 72 hours of delivery to the point of destination. Any damage to a package should be noted with the carrier at the time of delivery if possible. We will not be responsible for damage claims made 72 hours after delivery.
International Shipping:
You are responsible to know the import regulations for your country. Please research all products to ensure that they are legal for importation PRIOR to ordering. Once the order has left our premises, we cannot be held responsible for customs delays. Most countries will have no trouble but we post this disclaimer in the off chance that there is an issue. The customer assumes all responsibility for any additional fees charged by customs. We do not have any control over customs fees.
If, by chance, the order is returned to us and you wish to have a refund, then we will do so only after we have received the goods back. The refund will be calculated as total cost less shipping and a 15% restocking fee (refund = order total - 15% restocking fee - shipping).
We provide tracking information for all orders so please be diligent and keep track of your order progress through the mail system.
We do not have a reship policy. We DO assume that all clients are aware of their own country’s laws and therefore you are responsible for dealing with your country’s customs. Customs fees may apply and will be in addition to shipping fees. There will be additional processing time for the package to be processed through customs. Sometimes approval takes only a few days, but packages can take 2-4 weeks to get through the customs process.
Please know your own import regulations before ordering. It is your responsibility. If customs does not return the products to us we cannot issue the 85% refund to you. If your order is denied entry into your country, we strongly advise attempting to have the items sent back to us and we will refund your order less shipping and a 15% restocking fee.
What is shipping protection?
Shipping protection, also known as shipping insurance or parcel insurance, is a service offered by shipping carriers or third-party companies to protect the value of items being shipped from loss, damage, or theft during transit. When you purchase shipping protection, you are essentially paying a fee to insure the items you're sending in case they are damaged, lost, or stolen while in the custody of the shipping carrier.
Shipping protection is particularly important for valuable or fragile items, as well as items that are being sent long distances. It provides peace of mind to both the sender and the recipient, knowing that if anything goes wrong during the shipping process, they will be financially compensated for the value of the items.
Here's how shipping protection typically works:
-
Purchase Protection: When you choose to purchase shipping protection, you'll usually pay a fee based on the declared value of the items you're shipping. The declared value is the amount you specify as the worth of the items being shipped.
-
Coverage Details: The coverage details, including what is covered and what isn't, vary depending on the shipping carrier and the insurance provider. It's important to carefully review the terms and conditions of the shipping protection policy to understand the extent of coverage.
-
Filing Claims: If the items are lost, damaged, or stolen during transit, you can file a claim with the shipping carrier or the insurance provider. You'll likely need to provide evidence of the item's value, such as receipts or photographs, as well as details about the shipping process and the condition of the items at the time of shipping.
-
Compensation: If your claim is approved, you will typically receive compensation for the declared value of the items, up to the coverage limit specified in the policy.
This compensation can help you recover the financial loss incurred due to the damage or loss of the shipped items.
