Shipping Policy
Shipping
Okay - shipping. Here we go. We use the United States Postal Service. Not because we're patriotic or anything like that but because they're cheaper than anyone else. They allow for 1st Class Mail and with a lot of the products we sell - coming in at under $4 for shipping in a bubble mailer? That's damn good. Of course, Fedex and UPS are the big wigs out there and you've got what, DHL and... I think there's another one out there but that's not the point. The point is - the USPS does just fine and they're cheaper. End of list, really.
We have a 1-3 day turn-around on orders which is not that bad and the best part about the whole shipping label printing deal? Tracking numbers. Every thing that is shipped, with the exception of things that are shipped with a simple stamp (that's right, we use those relics) - gets a tracking number but let me explain that right quick.
A USPS tracking number is more of a delivery confirmation number than a tracking number. Sure, it gets scanned every now and again but sometimes, it doesn't get scanned until it gets delivered and that's the point of it. It's a delivery confirmation number. So - at least we'll know you got it.
Now, the relics. Yes, we still use stamps. We sell stickers and with stickers, I mean, come on... how many times have you gotten something and thought "this could have just come in an envelope..." and you had ended up paying like $3-4 or even more in shipping? I know it's happened to me more than once and it's kind of irritating. So, we use envelopes and stamps for our stickers because come ON, sometimes you just want a couple of stickers - no need to bring bubble mailers into this! Now, our decals, however... those we ship in rigid mailers because those cannot, absolutely cannot be bent or folded or they are RUINED, so we do what we can to make sure that doesn't happen. And rigid mailers, unfortunately, don't qualify for 1st class mail (the standard mailing service). But we still try to ship them as cheaply as possible to save you money.
Yes, we've evolved into a now-culture. But honestly? Regular mail only takes like 3 days, when it's not totally bogged down and understaffed, that is. So, it doesn't even take that much longer than UPS or Fedex. And if you close to Washington state? That's even better. It'll take even less time. If you live like... outside the US? I have no idea how long it takes. But we'll still try to get it to you as cheaply and as quickly as possible.
