Shipping
We
ship twice a week, usually on Monday and Thursday.
Shipping
Costs - We choose the most economical method of shipment for you and charge you
a minimal shipping and handling fee which is usually LESS than our cost for shipping
materials, postage, insurance, and payment processing fees.
For
expedited service or if you have other questions,
please contact Paula at
Books
and DVDs within the USA are shipped by US Media Mail
with Delivery Confirmation. For these orders, enter your Post Office address in
the Ship To section of your order. Books and DVDs usually arrive within 1-2 weeks
of being ordered.
Native American
and Jewelry orders are sent via US Mail either First Class or Priority Mail
so are delivered within a few days. Please use your postal address for shipping.
Dooney
and Bourke handbags are generally sent US Priority Mail. Grab Bag handbags
are often sent US Parcel Post. Please use your postal address for shipping.
International
Orders are shipped by US Priority Mail International. Delivery time varies
but is estimated to be between 7-14 business days, depending on your own foreign
customs. PLEASE NOTE THAT FROM OCTOBER UNTIL THE END OF JANUARY, INTERNATIONAL
SHIPPING TIMES ARE HISTORICALLY MUCH SLOWER DUE TO THE HIGH VOLUME OF HOLIDAY
PACKAGES.
Tracking will show when the package leaves
US customs, when it arrives in your country's customs and when it is delivered.
The shopping cart's figure for international shipping is an estimate. We will
contact you promptly if there are additional shipping costs to what is indicated
in the cart.
When placing an international order,
if you select US shipping in error, by paying for the order you automatically
authorize us to charge the correct shipping which will be added as an auxiliary
transaction to your original form of payment.
Know
the import rules of your country. Any import fees, taxes, tariffs, or handling
charges on your end are your responsibility to pay.
Large
or Heavy Packages, domestic or international, will be shipped via the most
appropriate carrier. We will contact you before shipping if we need more information.
Feed Supplements are sent via
UPS so you will need to provide a street address for delivery. Our supplement
prices INCLUDE SHIPPING to the mainland USA so the price you see is the total
you will pay. Colorado orders will be charged state sales tax. If an order is
very heavy or is going to the east coast, there might be an additional charge.
In these rare cases, we will contact you before we process the order to obtain
your authorization for the additional charge.
