DOMESTIC SHIPPING
I guarantee you that your package will be shipped exactly when I say it will be, which is the same day as payment or the next day if after 2pm EST, so when you track it on the usps website you can be sure that the date they were electronically notified of the package or the following date is definitely when it was brought there for processing. If for some reason it is not, I will always send an updated shipping confirmation to let you know.
We offer USPS First Class Mail for packages up tp 13oz or Parcel Post for packages weighing more. For faster shipping we also offer Priority Mail which generally takes 2-3 days and is almost always worth the additional cost because honestly, the less time a package is in the mailstream the better, plus it comes with up to $100.00 of indemnity coverage.If you are really in a hurry and would like to have your item shipped Express Mail, just let us know before you make payment and we will calculate the rate and include it as a shipping choice on your invoice.
PLEASE NOTE packages being shipped by Parcel Post from MA to the central states and further west will take longer due to the fact that they are sent to a Bulk Mail Facility in Springfield, MA where they stay until there is a full load going to a specific zone, so often times the tracking info will not show any movement because it hasn't left Springfield yet. Therefore, the number of days between the date I say I shipped and the date it left Sprinfield, MA can vary. Also, please keep in mind that once a package is turned over to the post office it is out of my hands and I have no control over what happens to it after that, afterall no carrier service is perfect and from time to time a package will get missent and even left behind if it is sent by Parcel Post, due to adverse weather conditions or heavy First Class mail volume such as the day after a holiday and almost always at Christmas time. If you are the "I get it when I get it" type of person then the less expensive Parcel Post shipping method would serve you well but if you're the "I gotta have it now" or the worrying type then choosing Priority Mail is always worth the slightly higher rate, in fact, some times it's so little difference that I just automatically upgrade the package to Priority shipping, especially when the buyer pays for their purchase right away. There has been more than one occasion where a buyer has given us a low "shipping time" rating because their package took longer than they expected it to, even though it was shipped that day or the next day, so please don't blame the seller for the actions of the carrier service.
INTERNATIONAL SHIPPING
We offer 3 shipping methods.
1) First Class Int'l, which is the least expensive service, can be used for packages up to 4 pounds but it is not trackable, cannot be insured and can take anywhere from 2-3 weeks for delivery, sometimes more depending on the country.
2) Priority Int'l costs a little more but it includes up to $100.00 of indemnity coverage, may be able to be tracked depending on the country, and usually takes 7-10 days for delivery.
3) Express Mail Int'l which is the most expensive but it is definitely trackable, insured for up to $100.00, and usually takes a week or less for delivery.
I recommend a trackable method, otherwise we are NOT responsible for packages that are lost or damaged. We will provide proof of shipment if needed.
