SHIPPING & ORDER FULFILLMENT POLICY
1. Business Hours
Our business operates Monday through Friday.
Weekends and United States Federal Holidays are not considered business days.
⸻
2. Response Times
Please allow approximately 48–72 business hours for responses to emails and inquiries.
Response times may be longer during promotional events, trade shows, or periods of high order volume.
⸻
3. Payment Clearance
Orders do not enter fulfillment until payment has fully cleared.
Depending upon the payment processor used, payment verification may require approximately 4–10 business days.
⸻
4. Order Finalization
An order is considered finalized only after:
• payment has cleared
• all requested modifications have been completed
• the customer has confirmed the final order
Requests to add, remove, substitute, combine, or otherwise modify an order immediately return that order to an unfinalized status.
Any modification resets the fulfillment timeline.
⸻
5. Fulfillment Timeline
Once payment has cleared after payment processing period and an order has been finalized, orders generally ship within approximately 5–21 business days, although many orders ship sooner.
Business days exclude weekends and federal holidays.
Large orders, custom packaging requirements, promotional events, or unusual order volumes may require additional preparation time.
⸻
6. Shipping Notifications
Tracking information will automatically be provided once the shipment has been dispatched.
Until tracking has been issued, the order remains within our standard fulfillment process.
⸻
7. Order Status Requests
Because many orders involve rare, one-of-a-kind inventory requiring manual verification, packaging, documentation, and insurance preparation, routine status updates may not be available during the published fulfillment window.
If your order remains within the stated fulfillment timeline, no action is required.
Tracking information will automatically be provided once your shipment has been dispatched.
⸻
8. Shipping Charges
Shipping charges are non-refundable once shipping labels have been created or shipping services have been purchased.
Insurance costs, customs fees, duties, taxes, brokerage fees, and carrier surcharges remain the responsibility of the buyer unless otherwise agreed in writing.
⸻
9. Risk of Loss
Ownership and risk of loss transfer to the buyer upon delivery of the shipment to the carrier unless otherwise required by applicable law.
We carefully package and insure shipments according to declared value whenever applicable.
⸻
10. Carrier Delays
We are not responsible for delays caused by USPS, UPS, FedEx, DHL, customs agencies, weather events, strikes, or other carrier-related circumstances beyond our control.
⸻
11. Lost or Damaged Shipments
If a shipment is lost or damaged, buyers must notify us immediately.
Buyers agree to cooperate fully with any carrier insurance investigation.
Refunds or replacements related to carrier damage or loss will not be considered until the carrier investigation has concluded.
Claims involving damage require clear photographs and video of:
exterior packaging
shipping label
packing materials
damaged item(s
within 24–48 hours of delivery.
⸻
12. Recorded Packaging
For quality assurance and fraud prevention, orders may be photographed and/or video recorded during inspection and packaging.
These records serve as documentation of the contents and condition of the shipment at the time it leaves our possession.
