Customer Care

Online orders are processed Monday through Friday, 1-2 business days of order placement, unless indicated in the product description. Orders placed between 1pm EST Friday thru midnight EST Sunday will be processed the following Monday. On occasion, an order may be placed on hold. In that event, we will contact you within one business day to gather the information we need to expedite the order. If we attempt to contact you and do not receive a response after five business days, we reserve the right to cancel your order.

PAYMENT

We accept American Express, Visa, Discover, and MasterCard. Sales tax will be charged when applicable. International customers must use a valid international credit card. If the credit card cannot be verified as belonging to the person placing the order, the order will not be processed.

SALES TAX

PROMO CODES

• Codes may not be applied after an order is processed.

Domestic shipping costs and methods

METHOD	PRICE
UPS or USPS	$8.00
USPS or UPS 2 Day	$19.00
UPS Next Day	$30.00

International Shipping

For orders shipped outside the United States, the billing and shipping address must be the same. Shipping will be provided via your choice of UPS or Global Express Mail through the United States Postal Service. Please use a valid street address, as we cannot ship to PO or APO boxes. International orders are not guaranteed to ship the next business day because additional verification is often necessary. Please allow up to 20 business days for delivery. Any delays at customs once the parcel has reached the destination country are not under our control. Please note, order modifications cannot be made after the order has been placed.

We are able to ship to countries other than those listed above. Such orders cannot be processed on line, but you may email, fax or phone in your order. We recommend faxing or phoning in your credit card number; for security purposes, email is not advised. International shipping fees range from $20 - $135 USD, depending on the country you live in, the shipping service you select, and the weight of your package. If you exchange an item, you will be responsible for shipping charges that apply to the reshipment of the item.

CUSTOMS DUTIES AND OTHER FEES

Please note that shipping charges do not include taxes or duty. The customer is solely responsible for any customs, duties, foreign taxes or other fees that his/her country may impose to take delivery of his/her order. Any abandoned packages are at the responsibility of the customer. In order to comply with export regulations, we are required by U.S. law to declare the exact value of all items ordered and to mark them as dutiable "merchandise." Declaring less than the true value is both a violation of American law and the laws of most other countries. In addition, we could lose the right to export to your country should it ever be discovered that we were misrepresenting the value. Because we are a retailer, we are prohibited by law from marking your order as "gift," even if the order is intended as a gift by its recipient. Call your local customs office for details about these charges.

US RETURN POLICY

If you are not satisfied with your online purchase, please follow our guidelines for returns:

Please confirm your items are eligible for return (Final sale merchandise is not eligible for return or exchange).

• All returns must be postmarked within 14 days of receipt. Returns sent after this time will not be honored.
• The merchandise must be in its original condition and unworn.
• We do not refund shipping charges.
• We do not accept returns/exchanges on custom-made or special order items, undergarments, or sale merchandise. These types of sales are final.

Please be advised that items that do not conform to the above guidelines are not returnable. They will be returned to you at your expense. 

INTERNATIONAL RETURNS

The customer is responsible for all shipping, duties or taxes. If you return an item or refuse an item and we are charged a tax, that duty or tax amount will be deducted from your order total before we credit your account.
