Shipping
Important Notice:
We ALL wish shipping were free, but
unfortunately it is not.
On USA orders under $50.00 from any
individual manufacturer, we charge shipping at cost.
On USA (lower 48 only) over $50.00
from any individual manufacturer, we discount the shipping down to just $5.00 on that manufacturer's portion of the order. The over $50.00 shipping program is called DNFS (Darn
Near Free Shipping).
On USA (lower 48 only) over $85.00
from any individual manufacturer, we discount the shipping to
FREE on that manufacturer's portion of the order. The over $85.00 free shipping program is called RFFS
(Really Flippin' Free Shipping).
Due to increased costs, we cannot
discount shipping to Alaska or Hawaii -- sorry.
How does DNFS work?
You'll notice that all of our products
have a two-letter identifier at the beginning i.e. EM, TS, PL, etc.
-- each of those designates a certain manufacturer/supplier. DNFS
(Darn Near Free Shipping) works by keeping track of the subtotal of
amounts purchased from each of our manufacturers/suppliers.
At the shipping calculation
stage the cart software then gets the rates for each individual
shipment by supplier according to the total weight of the items from
that portion of the order. The cart then checks the subtotal for
that portion of the order and if it is $50.00 or more, the shipping
is automatically reduced to just $5.00. If you have any familiarity
with the cost of shipping these days, you'll no doubt agree --
that's darn near free shipping!

Shipment is by various
approved shippers (USPS,UPS,FedEx,DHL). Some order items may ship
separately from others due to drop shipping from their respective
manufacturer's/suppliers. Items that are 'drop shipped' will ship to you
direct from the manufacturer.
Items will generally begin
shipping within 3 working days of your order if everything is in
stock. We will email you anytime there will be a delay. Please use a
valid email during checkout and check your mail daily. If you are
filtering for spam, it is advisable to also check your 'junk mail'
folder in case our mail gets intercepted your spam filters.
P.O. Boxes
--
We cannot ship to P.O. Boxes unless special arrangements are made in
advance of the online order, sorry.
Cancellations and/or Changes affecting Shipping
-
We can't split-ship items from same manufacturer (send back order items separately later) due to the additional shipping cost.
-
Item cancellations on order segments where shipping discounts have been applied have shipping recalculated based on the new subtotal of that order segment and the adjustment of discount adjusts the refund amount accordingly.
-
Exchanges for other items from the same manufacturer of similar price keep the original shipping discounts and totals intact.
-
Exchanges to higher price items from same manufacturer or exchanges to items from another manufacturer cause the whole order including shipping discounts to be recalculated, and the creation of a custom order page to pay for the additional adjusted order total.
Please Note: International
shipping information below is no longer valid. Due to increasing
restrictions and cost, we can no longer ship internationally. Our
apologies. International Payments -- Unfortunately, we cannot
process payments from all countries.

International Shipping
-- Currently, our online system will handle shipping to most countries.
We cannot discount shipping on international orders. The DNFS & RFFS
programs apply only to USA orders.
All international shipments will
be by Registered US Mail with return receipts. Time in transit varies
widely and is outside of our control.
PLEASE NOTE: We cannot calculate
or collect for foreign import duties or VAT. Import duties, use taxes,
Custom's requirements, and the like are the responsibility of the
buyer/receiver.
Please also be aware that every
country has different shipping restrictions. Some countries do not
allow the shipping of jewelry, for example.
