Shipping policy
We use UPS (United Parcel Service) to ship our products.
Your shipping & handling fees will be calculated based on the weight, insured value of the shipment, and your zip code. This S&H cost is available online only for the USA, Puerto Rico and most locations of Canada. The fees are shown BEFORE you enter any personal information . For other U.S. territories and foreign destinations (United Kingdom, Japan, Australia, Germany, Netherlands, Denmark, Ireland, New Zealand, South Korea, France, Switzerland, Sweden, and Belgium) real-time shipping calculation is not available and will show "$0.00" when ordering. Please chat, email, or call us at 1.847.749.4522 for shipping costs to your location. For your convenience we have included several shipping fee examples:
Shipping Methods
Ground is the standard method of shipping if you are not in a hurry. Delivery ranges from 1-5 business days depending on your proximity (UPS does not deliver on weekends) and has no guaranteed delivery time.
IF YOU HAVE ANY ADDITIONAL PERSONALIZATION SERVICES. WE SUGGEST ADDING AN ADDITIONAL DAY FOR GROUND IN CALCULATING YOUR DELIVERY DAYS. THIS SHOWS BUSINESS DAYS (not including weekends and holidays).
3 Day Select is the preferred method for those who want it a little bit quicker and whose Standard Ground shipping is in the 4-5 business days range. This method has a guaranteed delivery in 3 full business days (not including the day it was shipped out) and has no guaranteed delivery time for the day the package arrives.
2nd Day Air is ideal for packages that do not need overnight shipment but still are in a time-crunch.This method has a guaranteed delivery in 2 business days (not including weekends) and has no guaranteed delivery time for the day the package arrives.
Next Day Air Saver is a perfect option for any customer wanting to receive the package in 1 day but trying to keep it as affordable as possible. This option is guaranteed by the next business day, but delivery time is not guaranteed, and can be delivered up to the end of the day.
Next Day Air is ideal for shipments that must arrive earlier in the business day with a guaranteed time. This shipping method is guaranteed by the next business day (not including weekends) by 12 P.M.
Next Day Air Early AM is an option available for customers who want the next day delivery service earlier than the Next Day Air option. With Early AM the package is guaranteed by 9 AM the following day (not including weekends).
Next Day Air Saturday is available upon request (not as an option on our website). Please call or email us to discuss this option.
Special Notes
We will send you tracking information via email within 1 business day of shipment. Please do not use a P.O. Box for the ship-to address. It must be a physical street address.
Shipment Processing
If you order by 3:00 P.M. Central time, your product would be shipped same-day 90% of the time. Exceptions include orders that have imprinting on the frames (can take another 3-4 business days before shipping). If we have stock issues, we will notify you as soon as possible so that we can resolve it quickly. Orders made after 3:00 P.M. would be shipped the following business day (although we may be able to occasionally squeeze late orders out the door the same day).
Shipping Outside of the US
We currently ship to the 50 US states, U.S. territories, and Canada. We have recently added United Kingdom, Japan, Australia, Germany, Netherlands, Denmark, Ireland, New Zealand, South Korea, France, Switzerland, Sweden, and Belgium to the list of foreign countries to which we ship. Please chat, email, or call us at 1.847.749.4522 for shipping quotes to your location. If you are in Canada please note that you MAY be charged import duties by your own country. We have no involvement in this. Please check with your local UPS Service center to get better estimates on what types of import charges (including local broker fees) you might incur upon delivery. Any standard shipping to Canada will incur duty/brokerage fee's up to 60% of your purchase, with expedited shipping methods the brokerage fees are included. If you contact us we may be able to get an estimated broker fee, but what UPS will charge upon delivery may be different from the estimated cost. You can also email us to get a quote before making an order as well.
Other possible charges include local GST and Provincial taxes depending on where you live. All of these possible fees are calculated after your package leaves our door. Please understand that while we will try our best to estimate costs for you, any taxes, fees, or charges are your responsibility. Please see the UPS Canada Customs Clearance Page for possible charges.
APO/FPO Shipping Via Postal Service
We don't normally ship via USPS (United States Postal Service). However, to support our military, we will ship to any APO/FPO address at cost (e.g. $5.15 Insured Priority Mail will cost you $5.15 with no additional service charges for our military). People with APO addresses should call or email us for a shipping quote. WE STILL MUST HEAR BACK FROM YOU VIA EMAIL TO APPROVE ALL SHIPPING CHARGES IN ORDER FOR US TO SHIP TO APO/FPO ADDRESSES.
Shipping FAQ:
Q: If I submit my order 3 PM on a Monday and select 2nd Day Air as my shipment method, will my package arrive on Wednesday or Thursday?
A: Since the order was submitted after our 12 Noon cut-off time, the package will likely not be shipped until the following day. The first day to count for the 2nd day air is Wednesday, so the 2nd day (the day it will be delivered) would be Thursday. If the order was submitted prior to noon on Monday, it would have been sent out for delivery that day and delivered by Wednesday. (If the order you selected is out of stock, we would contact you immediately).
Q: If I submitted my order Wednesday morning and selected 3-day select, when will I receive it?
A: Since the order was submitted before our 12 NOON CST cut off time, as long as it has no imprinting it will ship out the same day (as long as all the product is in stock). 3 business days from Wednesday would put the package being received by the end of the business day Monday.
Q: If I selected standard ground for my shipping method, can I specify a specific time I want it delivered?
A: With the ground shipping method, you cannot specify delivery time. This option only guarantees the package by the end of the day.
Q: Can I leave specific instructions for the UPS driver?
A: Yes, we have a line underneath the address field that we can leave special instructions for the delivery driver (for example, please leave at door). However we request that instructions be brief due to limited space.
Q: I currently have an APO address and when I submit my order it does not include shipping, what do I do?
A: Currently our online order system cannot include shipping to APO/FPO addresses. There are two options for what you can do, either call us at our TOLL FREE Number (866-599-7224) and we can process the whole order via phone for you, or submit the order online like your normally would. We will get back to you via email to include the shipping charges for your approval (please note, we will not proceed with the order until you approve the additional shipping charges).
Q: How will I know if a product I purchased is out of stock and how will this affect my delivery time?
A: We process orders as soon as we get them, so typically with in a few hour period we will know if a current product is out of stock. If this is the case, we will contact you immediately and provide alternative options.
