Shipping Charges


Shipping charges are not refundable unless there is a defective item, or an error on our part that requires a return.

In this case we would pay for the shipping cost but our obligation is to reimburse the customer for the lowest cost shipping method available through the United States Postal Service.

Shipping Discrepancies


It is your responsibility to make sure that you received all of the items as shown on your packing slip. Failure to report shipping discrepancies within five days makes it difficult to accurately determine the problem so discrepancies reported after five days will not be credited.
