How much is shipping?
Shipping is a flat rate so that customers don’t have to worry about the price changing while they are buying. You can buy as much as you want and the rate never changes. In fact, you could buy the whole store and pay one rate.
Domestic Shipping is a flat $3.95, with insurance it is $5.49
Priority Domestic Shipping is $7.95.
Canada is a flat $11 and includes free insurance.
Australia is a flat $14.11* with free insurance (sorry for this price increase,we did absorb some of the cost, we are really hoping the USPS brings their prices down but there is no way around it!)
Everywhere else is $11 WITHOUT INSURANCE, with Insurance it is $14.11.
We ship via USPS for most items and UPS for some imported items.
*May be subject to change depending on the shipping market price.

But note that although most packages can arrive in a week, there are cases when packages will take longer to ship and can even take as long as 30 days (USA) or 60 days (international). This may be due to weather conditions, holidays, postal strikes, slow custom offices, and other unforeseen events. Please be patient, we will work with you to find your package.
DO NOT WAIT weeks or months before contacting us if you have not received your package. Time is of the essence and the longer you wait the less likely your package can be found or if you purchased insurance less likely your claim is valid.
