Shipping & Returns

Shipping charges are an estimate. If the actual shipping is more you will be sent, via email, a PayPal or Google invoice for the difference. Express shipments are almost always estimated low due to "dimensional weight". Dimensional weight is combination of the weight plus the size of the shipping box. Our shipping calculation does not know the size of the box so the shipping charge is just based on the weight. If it is necessary to collect extra shipping charges you will have the opportunity to cancel your order. Your order will ship as soon as payment is received.

We reserve the option to change the shipping method without notice.

All sales are final. Only under special circumstances will returns will be accepted. You must notify us within 5 days of receipt if you want to return your order. Please do not return your order until you receive authorization. There will be a 20% restocking fee and no refund of original shipping. You will receive a Coupon Code worth the value of the original order less 20% and original shipping. Coupon Codes expire one year after issue.

All damage notifications must be received within 5 days of receipt. We will make the insurance claim in most cases. When the claim is paid we will reship the order.

Most orders received before 2:00 PM Eastern Time ship same day. If you place an express order after that time we will do our best to get the order out same day but we make no guarantees.
