We realize that at this time of the year, people are anxious to have their gift orders delivered in time for the holidays.  We take this as seriously as you do and ask you to read these notes.

• Your order will be shipped as quickly as possible.  Important Note: Keep in mind that many items are listed as "Available - Normally Ship within 2-5 Business Days".  This timeline cannot be expedited even if you select an Express or Priority method of shipment.  Order processing time is completely independent of the ship method you select.
• If your order will not be able to ship within the specified processing period, we will send you an email informing you of the delay and your options.  If an item is out of stock and you do not cancel your order, your order will be shipped as soon as all items are available.  In these circumstances, we cannot guarantee it will arrive in time for the holidays.  We cannot automatically cancel orders/items as many people prefer that we put them on backorder.
• We cannot be held responsible for shipments delayed due to issues with the shipping carrier.  All carriers are often backlogged during the holiday season and ground ship methods have no service guarantees during this time of year.
• If an express service (UPS 2 Day, UPS 3 Day Select, or UPS Next Day) fails to meet their service commitment, your only recourse will be a refund of shipping where applicable.  Visit the UPS website for details on their guarantees.  Keep in mind that severe weather can delay packages and such delays do no constitute a service failure by the carrier. USPS Priority and First Class have no guarantees or refunds. Additionally, many guarantees are still suspended this year.

*If we cannot ship in time to meet these requirements, we will contact you via email.  It is important that you check your email after placing your order so that you are aware of any potential issue.  If you are unsure and have a concern, please send us an email at [email protected].
