Shipping Charges
Our online store calculates the shipping cost based on the weight, size, and destination of your order using current shipping rates obtained directly from the US Postal Service (USPS) and the United Parcel Service (UPS).
The shipping cost calculator is available on the “View Cart” page and on the “Checkout” page. Please indicate the destination address to view the available shipping methods and their cost.
How long will it take for your order to be delivered?
To estimate the delivery date of your order, please take into account the processing time (the time we need to process and ship your order) and the time in transit (time from shipping until delivery), as detailed below:

If the customer abandons the package in customs, and the package is destroyed, the customer is liable for both the shipping and product costs.
