Shipping
How soon can I start shipping items to my new address?
As soon as your new account is set up and you've been issued a United States mailing address, you can start shipping orders.
Where is my item shipped to before it is shipped to me?
Your items are shipped to one of our two secure warehouses. One is in Brooklyn, New York and the other is in Bayonne, New Jersey.
What countries do you ship to?
We ship to over two-hundred countries. For the full list,

Is there anything I can't ship?
Are my shipments insured?
For every shipment, the first $100 of insurance is free. When scheduling your shipments, additional insurance can be purchased
for the rate of $2 per $100 of insurance.
How much does it cost to ship an item?
Once again, this is different for every package. The total cost depends on destination country, carrier/service selected,
and the DIM weight of the shipment. You can always use our shipping calculator to easily estimate the cost of your shipment.
When will my orders arrive?
Our typical orders are processed within 72 hours of receiving them. This processing time can also be reduced if you select
'ship now' at checkout. As far as transit time is concerned, every package is different. Factors that affect transit time
include destination country, weather, customs, and choice of carrier. Typically our clients receive shipments from FedEx
in 2 to 3 days, UPS in 4 to 5 days, DHL in 2 to 3 days, USPS in 7 to 15 shipments by air in 2 days, and shipments by sea
in about 15 days in average. *Please note that these are just estimates. There can always be additional delays depending
on import/export rules and the size of your shipment. Also, the time it takes for items to pass through customs depends
on the country your order is being shipped to. This is something we have no control over. You should always allow yourself
more time in case of unexpected delays at airports or in customs at your destination country.
