Shipping

What is the processing time?

Orders can take 2-5 business days to be processed. Please note: All of our packages are signature required. We are unable to edit or change any orders that are already in transit.  Due to California state law, we are required to collect additional taxes for orders from certain states. 

HOLIDAY SHIPPING

DOMESTIC (US)
For delivery by 12/24, we recommend placing your order by 12/10 for UPS Ground or by 12/20 for UPS Next Day Air. Please note, while we strive to ensure timely delivery, shipping timelines are subject to carrier delays, particularly during the holiday season.

INTERNATIONAL
For delivery by 12/24, we recommend placing your order by 12/15 with DHL Express Worldwide. Please note that delivery timelines may vary due to potential carrier or customs delays, particularly during the holiday season. We appreciate your understanding and patience.

When will my expedited order ship?

If you placed an expedited order before 1:00 PM PT, it will ship out that day depending on the volume of orders. Any order placed after the cut-off time will ship out the next business day.

International Purchases 

All international customers are responsible for all duties, customs fees, and taxes on orders. We do not pre-pay duties, custom fees, or taxes at checkout. We ship all international orders via DHL Express, except for orders going to Russia, we will ship via USPS. 

Are international customers responsible for duties, taxes, and tariffs?

Please note that while purchases
made using gift cards are a convenient way to shop, it's important to remember that they are still subject to applicable duties and taxes. Even though you may not be using traditional forms of payment, such as credit cards or cash, customs regulations require that all imported goods are assessed for duties and taxes based on their declared value. This means that when shopping with a gift card, you may still be responsible for any duties, taxes, or other fees associated with importing your items. We recommend reviewing your local customs regulations or contacting your customs authority for more information on how duties and taxes are calculated and applied to your purchases. If you have any questions or concerns, please don't hesitate to reach out to our Customer Care team for assistance.

International customers are
responsible for all duties, customs fees, taxes, and any additional tariffs as well as a flat rate shipping fee of $50.00.

For any international orders that are refused upon delivery, a refund will be processed on the goods once they arrive back to our warehouse minus the shipping fee and a 10% restocking fee.

Is there a fee for refused / return to sender orders?

We highly recommend accepting delivery of your order(s) and to use our easy 24/7 online portal for items you would like to return or exchange. Refusing or marking packages “return to sender” at the time of delivery or paying international import fees, can often lead to unnecessary complications, including inconsistent package tracking, fees, delayed delivery/refund, and/or damaged or lost packages.  If you choose to refuse delivery, we are not responsible for the shipment while in transit and will not be able to issue a refund for undelivered/damaged packages. Refused shipments are also ineligible for Guide Package Protection (shipment insurance).

All refused orders are refunded to the original form of payment once received and inspected at our warehouse, unless you specify otherwise. Please contact us as soon as possible to arrange a reshipment or exchange. Due to the sometimes-complex nature of international order processing, refused orders are charged a 10% restocking fee. This fee is a percentage of the total purchase price and is deducted from the eligible refund. We also do not reimburse for paid shipping, duties, taxes, or other import fees. These fees are non-refundable.
