Packages that are delayed to weather conditions: Our employees will do everything they can do make sure your shipment gets out in time. Shipping companies that we use (FedEX, UPS, DHL or USPS) deliver the packages as quickly as possible. We regret any inconvenience that these severe weather events may cause you, but as you know, we nor the shipping companies we use have control over acts of nature. Therefore, there is no money back for shipping cost paid by the customer when weather conditions or other acts of nature cause a delay in receiving your package. If you received FREE SHIPPING and your package arrived late due to weather conditions or other acts of nature, and you want to return the package back to us, you are still responsible for all shipping costs to you (shipping cost we incurred to get the package to you) and shipping cost back to us as outlined in our Returns & Exchanges for all products receiving Free Shipping section. We regret any inconvenience that these weather events or other acts of nature may cause you.
* On occasion, shipping charges may be higher then the price quoted for certain shipments that are extra heavy or bulky. If this occurs, we will contact you for approval of any extra charges before we process & ship your order.
** If a product(s) is SOLD OUT, but other products in the same order are in stock, shipping charges are recalculated based on the items in stock, thus you are only charged shipping charges for the items in stock that we are shipping to you at the time. If you backorder a product(s) that were previously SOLD OUT, shipping charges will be applied based on the cost of the product being shipped to you (see above).
