We put together the best valued shipping methods possible in these hard times. All ship with insured delivery confirmation tracking. We cover extended insurance costs. Shipping is non-refundable as well as any extended insurance or handling costs.
1. New! Free USPS via 1st Class shipping for orders over $35. You may still opt to go with Priority or Express below if 1st Class to slow for you.
USPS Priority. 2 day delivery average. BEST VALUE at a FLAT RATE of $7.50. Our tracking has shown most deliveries are made in 2 days with this service.
I recommend using #1. above with a Flat Rate Priority Shipping cost of $7.50 as USPS Express is well out of control price wise with far less perks than offered when it started. It is not much faster.
$7.50 is below USPS Priority Mail costs as I subsidize the cost and I also pay for the extra insurance.
Priority usually delivers in 2 days, 3 at most to most any zone with no surcharges and it delivers Saturdays.
3. USPS Express Overnight to most areas. May take longer if your not in a 1 day shipping zone. Good Overnight Value at $35.00
Sorry. Shipping costs are non-refundable.
Tracking. We notify you when you order ships with the tracking confirmation number. If a delivery problem arises contact us with your order ID number so we can track it. All jewelry is boxed, placed in a sealed plastic bag, bubble wrapped and shipped in the sturdy sealed box.
Important notes.
Shipping time is added to "ships in" or "ships out" time. Many of our items are custom made. Selecting Express Overnight does not change the "ship out" time stated for products. It simply reduces the delivery time to you upon shipment.
