• Damages from Shipping

We take the necessary steps to pack your order with care using only the highest quality shipping materials; checking and labeling each order with fragile stickers before leaving our facility. We are not responsible for damages that occur during shipment unless it is deemed that your item was improperly packed. In any case, we are committed to assisting our customers when shipping damage occurs and will accommodate on a case by case basis.

Depending on the shipping service you selected upon checkout; your order may qualify for a claim via USPS. If you selected Priority Mail upon checkout; your order is insured up to $100. If you selected First Class, your package was not insured.

If your order was damaged from shipping please do the following:

1. Contact us immediately, providing pictures and a description of the damage(s), as well as pictures of the box and any protective materials shipped with it. If you do not provide this within 30 days we cannot file a claim for you.

2. Please retain the item(s), the box and protective materials shipped with it. In some cases USPS will request to inspect the item further. If you throw out the box and materials we cannot file a claim for you.

3. DO NOT SHIP IT BACK! Shipping the item back will only void the insurance and we will not be able to file a claim for you.

Depending on the level of damage; your order may qualify for either full or partial reimbursement. We will inspect the damage and file a claim with USPS accordingly and provide you with the claim ID. Please note, in some cases USPS may request to inspect the claimed package further, you will be contacted via USPS by letter if this is required. If this request is not fulfilled within the allotted time your claim may be denied.

Damages from shipping are only paid out via USPS claims. It is our promise to our customers that we will always pack your order with care and will assist you during a claim process, however; we cannot be held responsible for damages that occur while in the care of the postal system. Funds from USPS claims are issued to you using the form of payment you initially chose on your order. At this time we are not set up to replace or repair damaged goods.
