Customer Service
Shipping & Delivery within the United States and Canada
- $6.00 flat rate shipping on all orders within the US. To our dear Canadian customers, please see below for international shipping to you. See below for further info.
- We are located in Minnesota, and ship through USPS. Tracking info provided to your submitted email address via USPS.
- We will work hard to process your order within 2 business days. Most often shipping is same-day.
- Orders placed on Fridays or throughout the weekend will not be shipped until Monday at the earliest.
- If a parcel has been marked as delivered but you cannot find it, we are unable to do anything. We cannot issue a refund or send a replacement, and we cannot file a claim for a parcel that has been marked as delivered. We recommend you check at an alternate entrance to your domicile, at a neighbor's house or apartment, or at the front desk of your apartment complex or place of business to see if the parcel has simply been misdelivered. If the parcel is not in one of those locations, please contact the courier to see if they can help locate your parcel. If your address and/or mailbox is not a secure place to receive packages then please ask us about adding a signature confirmation service. If you have any doubts about the safety of packages left at your home or place of work then please choose a shipping method that requires a signature for delivery!
