We understand that USPS has upgraded the fleet since this photograph was made.

Shipping

 

  • We ship via the U. S. Postal Service (USPS) and offer their full line of packaging and services.

 

  • We ship every day except Sundays and federal holidays whenver possible. When USPS has an active weather alert or other service disruption alert, shipping must necessarily be suspended. The link in the footer of every page will take you to the official USPS alert page.

 

  • Any domestic order that totals $5.75 or more in shipping charges is automatically shipped via USPS Priority service. Orders that total less than that in shipping charges are shipped via USPS First-Class service.

 

  • Any order that is paid prior to 9:00 AM Pacific time is shipped the same business day.  Otherwise, we will ship the next business day.

 

  • If you would like USPS Priority Express service (1 day to most locations - 2 days to some), contact us for a rate quote and an invoice. For an Express order to ship the same day, payment absolutely must be received prior to 9:00 AM Pacific time in order for us to get it to the post office before their cutoff time.

 

  • We ship to many countries, except for those countries that are prohibited destinations (Cuba, Iran, North Korea, and Sudan), or those countries that have notoriously unreliable postal systems. We have indefinitely suspended all shipping to the UK.

 

  • International buyers are strongly encouraged to contact us about shipping charges prior to making a purchase.  International shipping can get expensive, so we do our best to find you the best available service and rate.

International orders - tariffs and  taxes

 

  • All duties, tariffs, taxes, and other destination country charges are the sole responsibility of the buyer. International buyers are strongly encouraged to contact the appropriate office of their government for information about these charges prior to making a purchase.

 

  • Every order shipped to an address outside the United States will be accompanied by the appropriate customs declaration. There can be no exceptions.

 

  • The declared value on the customs declaration will be the final purchase price.  There can be no exceptions or alterations.

 

  • Please do not ask us to declare an order as a gift.  That is against the law, even if the buyer ultimately plans to give it as a gift to a third party. All orders will be declared as merchandise.

 

  • Please do not ask us to make incomplete, incorrect, or fraudulent customs declarations. That is also against the law. We have a trusted status with both the postal service and customs that we will not jeopardize.
