BELOW ARE DETAILS ABOUT WHAT PAYMENT METHODS WE ACCEPT, HOW WE HANDLE EXCHANGES, LOST PACKAGES, SHIPPING INFO, ETC:
SHIPPING INFO:
Please note that we usually ship (via regular post) the same (or next) day payment is received. Clothing items are usually sent via Priority mail via US Postal Service, with a 2-4 working day delivery time. Very small items, or items where the freight cost is $3.75 to $6.75 are sent via regular first class mail (approx 5-7 day delivery time). If you are not home, the postman *should* leave a yellow slip to pick up your package at your main post office branch. If we have shipped your package and it remains undelivered please go to your main post office, as more than likely you will find that they are holding it there for you (usually for approx 10 days.)
We are located on the West Coast, so for East Coast, Hawaii and rural delivery please allow 2-7 working day delivery time. Please note that out of stock items and
shoes, and heavy items can take slightly longer, up to 10-14 working days. Due to time constraints we do not provide rush delivery or shipping confirmations on every order(though you can request signature confirmation for an additional $2.35 Since we usually ship the same day that you place your order and we notify those whose orders are delayed, shipping confrimation is redundant. If you want tracking or rush delivery please put your request in the notes section of the order form and we will try to honor it. We are a small company and are very busy trying to get all orders out as quickly as possible. Customers are notified of any delay due to restock or credit card (or AVS) problems.
We may run out of items quickly so not all orders are filled to completion. We only charge your credit card when we ship and only charge for the items sent. Shipping costs are adjusted accordingly based on the dollar value of your order (see our freight chart below). There are no backorders. So in the event you do not recieve your entire order please read the enclosed receipt which will detail what was shipped, list the out of stock items and show your adjusted total.
We cannot always call or email prior to shipping incomplete orders (we usually try to offer alternatives if other sizes or colors are available), but if this is unsatisfactory please write a note in the message portion of your order form of any special instructions for signature confirmation, etc(ie. Please cancel order if item such and such is Sold out.). Also note that we have no control over the placement of packages at your location. Therefore messages such as "please leave package at back door" will not be honored. You would need to make such arrangements with your local postal carrier.
Tracking is available upon request but we do not automatically provide ship confirmations or tracking on each order.
If your order does not arrive in 4 weeks, please contact us so that we may make a claim with the postal service and resend your merchandise. Claims cannot be made prior to 4 weeks. You will need to mail us a signed statement of non receipt (to above address) to facilitate a claim for replacement.
Please note: the post office no longer covers claims for items stolen once delivered, so we cannot be responsible for loss if the item is trackable to your door.
