Shipping: 

Orders will be shipped within 2 business days of order placement for ready to ship items, and within 2 business days of notification that the order is completed for custom orders.Please specify the correct address when adding shipping information at the time that the order is placed. The seller will make every effort to contact the customer in order to verify the address if verification is necessary. If the address that was entered at the time of purchase was incorrect, and the buyer notices the error and contacts the seller, every effort will be made by the seller to change the address on the package before shipping. If the package has already been shipped, and the buyer contacts the seller about an incorrect address, the seller will attempt to contact USPS to reroute the package or return to sender. If the attempt is unsuccessful and the seller can no longer access the package, a lost package claim will need to be filed. Please note that the seller does not typically answer any emails or ship any packages from 5PM EST Friday to 5PM EST Saturday.

All packages will be shipped USPS Ground Advantage unless otherwise specified. Ground Advantage, which is the new name for First Class Mail, does not include insurance. Only Priority Mail includes $50 insurance at the time that the label is purchased. If the buyer wishes to upgrade Ground Advantage to Priority Mail, please contact the seller and purchase the Upgrade to Priority Mail listing. If you want to add additonal insurance, please contact the seller.

Every effort will be made by the seller to track the package and determine its location. If the package is received damaged, opened, or empty, the customer must immediately take photos and send the evidence to the seller via email, as well as filing a damaged package report. https://www.usps.com/help/clai... Once the package leaves the seller's hands and is surrendered to USPS, it is the responsibility of USPS. USPS has a Firm Book where a log of all packages is kept, along with surveillance showing the condition of packages and the barcodes. If the shipping issue is not resolved, USPS can escalate it and start a secondary investigation through USPS Consumer Affairs. Please remember that it is the customer's choice whether or not to pay for Priority Mail which includes insurance on the package for both initial shipping of an order and return shipping, which is the responsibility of the customer. If there is no insurance on the package, the seller cannot be held liable for a lost or damaged package. The seller highly reccommends purchasing Priority Mail including insurance to help avoid any lost or damaged mail issues.
