Warm Weather Shipping:
During warmer months, we may delay shipments to ensure products arrive in good condition. This may occur if weather or transit conditions pose a risk of melting or damage.
If a significant delay is anticipated, we may reach out to the customer via email or phone.
To prevent heat damage, orders placed after Wednesday may be held and shipped the following week to avoid extended time in carrier warehouses over weekends or holidays.
Orders shipped during summer may include ice packs.
We aim to fulfill orders promptly, usually by the next business day. However, delivery times may vary. For guaranteed delivery dates or destinations in warm climates (e.g., Arizona, Southern California, Florida), we recommend using UPS Air or USPS Priority Express.
We use eco-friendly and recyclable packaging materials whenever possible to reduce environmental impact.
3.2 Lost or Damaged Shipments
- Once an order is shipped, the risk of loss transfers to the customer.
- If your order arrives damaged, please contact us within 48 hours of delivery and include clear photos of the damaged items so we can resolve the issue.
- If an issue is confirmed, we’ll gladly send a replacement or issue store credit.
