SHIPPING POLICY

Fulfillment Timeline

• Orders are processed within 3 weeks.

• If your order contains a preorder item, your entire order will be held until all items are ready to ship.
  

Carriers & Tracking

• Double check that you are selecting the shipping carrier and method that you would like at check out. Media Mail does not have insurance and we cannot provide a refund or reshipment of items shipped via Media Mail.
• You will receive a tracking link once your order is dropped off with the carrier.
• A shipping label being created does not mean your order has shipped yet. Tracking updates may take anywhere from 1-2 weeks.

Flat Rate Shipping

• All orders are charged a flat shipping rate, shown at checkout via media mail, or by weight for other shipping methods.
  
• We ship anywhere USPS, DHL, UPS or FedEx are legally allowed to ship to. Shipping internationally has its own risks and may result in tariffs or fees on the end of our customers. Please order internationally at your own risk.
