  • All transit times quoted are approximate. For exact tracking of your order, go to USPS.com and enter your tracking number.
  • Shipping cost that is quoted is for the combined charge of shipping and handling.

Shipping cost will be calculated before any payment information is entered. The customer is solely responsible for any duty charges and we do not undervalue shipment on customs forms.
