Shipping & Returns

FREE SHIPPING

We offer free shipping on orders over $75.00 with the following exceptions:

  1. Free shipping does not apply to orders submitted through the Contact Us feature or through regular email. Orders must be completed using the checkout process in our online store only.
  2. Wholesale orders. Free shipping does not apply to wholesale (or bulk) orders.

If you have any questions about shipping or whether your order qualifies for free shipping, please use the Contact Us page to submit your questions to us before you place your order.

How Free Shipping works:

Our shopping cart software isn't capable of providing Free Shipping automatically. Instead of not offering this great opportunity to save to our customers, we will handle our orders that qualify for Free Shipping manually.

Your order will qualify for Free Shipping if your order subtotal is equal to or more than $75.00. Your order subtotal is the total dollar amount of your order AFTER sales discounts and coupon savings have been applied, but BEFORE taxes or shipping have been applied.

Select USPS Parcel Post shipping method during checkout. Our Free Shipping offer is only valid for the USPS Parcel Post shipping method. If you require faster shipping methods, then Free Shipping will not apply.

You will be charged for shipping when you complete your checkout. After you submit your order and we determine that your order does indeed qualify for Free Shipping, we will promptly refund the dollar amount you paid for shipping. We will notify you when we issue your refund. We will also notify you if your order did not meet the requirements for Free Shipping.
