All domestic shipments (regardless of price or shipping method) are shipped with a USPS tracking number which is included in the shipping charges. This makes it easy to track your package(s) from us to you.

*All of our orders are shipped Priority® Mail within 48 hours from date of order, some orders can be shipped the same day, if we get them early enough, they are instock and time permits. After your order is processed and shipped it should arrive in 2-3 business days, most locations. This excludes federal holidays and weekends.

*The only other exception for 48 hour shipping is when payments are made with a paper check or an e-check. These can take up to 4 business days to clear the bank.

We also offer 'next day' Express Mail (overnight service, most locations). This service is not offered at checkout, so you will need to call or email us for specific pricing and availability. These prices are calculated on a case by case basis, based on size, weight and destination of package.

Also: any return or exchange must be returned to us postage paid with a tracking number before we can exchange or refund for that item.

Exchanges: If for some reason you need to exchange an item we will exchange all non-personalized products and unworn/unused clothing and handbags within 10 days of receipt, if we have the 'exchanged for' item in stock at the time of the request.

The same as with our sales, we can not refund shipping by or to us. Shipping charges are the responsibility of the buyer.
