We will ship your package within 1 week. We typically prepare our shipping on Sunday evening to go out on Monday morning.
We use only quality mailing and packaging materials to make sure your purchases arrive to you on time and undamaged. The cost of those materials are included in your shipping & handling fee.
If using Paypal, please double-check your shipping address on your Paypal account prior to completing your order. We ship to those addresses (labels are generated automatically) and we cannot be responsible for incorrect addresses. If your package is returned to us due to an incorrect address on your account, you will be responsible for the additional shipping charges to re-ship your package to the correct address.
We reserve the right to substitute shipping methods (ie: First Class Package vs. Priority Mail or Parcel Post), especially on smaller packages that weigh less than 13 ounces combined weight–any package over 13 ounces will be shipped using the method you choose at checkout.
International orders will take longer and we make no guarantees on delivery times. AT THIS TIME, DUE TO CUSTOMS RULE CHANGES, WE ARE ONLY SHIPPING TO SELECT “OUTSIDE THE US” AREAS. If a shipping cost doesn’t show up in your cart you’re either in an area we don’t ship to at this time OR you’ve chosen the wrong shipping method. Feel free to email us if you have any questions: tammy@geocachehides.com .
For International orders, First Class Mail is usually the cheapest shipping option. That being said, First Class does not offer tracking availability and WE WILL MAKE NO REFUNDS ON PACKAGES NOT RECEIVED IF YOU CHOOSE FIRST CLASS MAIL. No exceptions will be made. To date we have never had a package lost, but with First Class there is more chances of that happening so please keep in mind before choosing shipping method.
Ownership of packages turned over to USPS transfers to the buyer. We are not responsible for lost, held, or damaged packages. We are not responsible for delivery errors via carrier, or incorrect shipping info. Shipping is a service you purchase from USPS along with your order from us, so any shipping issues must be handled by USPS. INSURANCE is available to add to any order, and is recommended for any order you can’t afford to lose. We will assist in filing a claim should you have one but our responsibility ends at the time a package is inspected and accepted by the US Post Office.
LOCAL DELIVERY: If you live in or around the Springfield MO area and would like to arrange to pick up your order please contact us at tammy@geocachehides.com for a coupon code. Our checkout system does not allow a no shipping charge method but we can give you a coupon code equal to the shipping amount to zero it out.
If you have an urgent need for some caches make sure you note in the checkout box on Paypal that you need them asap and we’ll do all we can to accommodate.
Please review your summary page at checkout, including shipping charges, before you submit your order.
