How much will my shipping charges be?
Shipping charges depend on the particular shipping method you choose when placing your order (see below). We are especially excited, though, to offer special rates to orders shipped to the United States, U.S. territories, protectorates, and military (APO/FPO) addresses. For shipments to these areas, we offer a special flat rate shipping charge of $4.90 (eligible orders are then shipped via UPS or USPS - United States Postal Service - depending upon the exact delivery address and the weight of the order). Orders consisting of stickers only are shipped to these areas for $1.00 via USPS First Class Mail!

Of course, we also offer International, 2-Day and Express shipping. Prices for these methods are based on the weight of your order and your location (we ship from Southern California). Feel free to check out our table of shipping costs-to-weights for more exact information!

How do you ship orders? What shipping methods do you offer?
Our shipping methods vary according to an order's shipping address and weight. As you complete the checkout process, you will be asked to choose from the options available to your specific shipping location/address.

Our standard shipping charge for U.S. addresses, including APO/FPO/PO box addresses, and addresses in all the U.S. territories and protectorates, is $4.90 (flat rate - no matter how much your order, the shipping charge will stay the same!!). The shipping method depends on the package's weight and shipping address. Orders under 3lbs ship via US Mail and can be expected in 1-7 days from the shipping date. Orders over 3lbs destined for a physical street address ship via UPS Ground service and delivery can be expected in 1-6 business days from the shipping date (we ship from Southern California). Please note that shipping to APO/FPO/PO box addresses, and all addresses in all the U.S. territories and protectorates, will always be via US Mail.*

*The average delivery time to military addresses (APO and FPO) is 18-45 days

All domestic orders consisting of stickers only are shipped for $1.00 via USPS First Class Mail, and should be received within 7 days from the shipping date.

2-Day and Express delivery is available to orders destined for addresses in the continental U.S., Alaska, and Hawaii (these methods are NOT available to PO Boxes, U.S. territories and protectorates, or military APO/FPO addresses). 2-Day and Express deliveries are shipped via UPS, and the cost depends on the weight of the order and the destination location. For exact figures on 2-Day and Express shipping charges, see our table of shipping costs-to-weights. 2-Day packages are delivered in 2 business days, Express packages are delivered the next business day but please note that most of our ORDERS TAKE 1-3 BUSINESS DAYS TO PROCESS THEN SHIP!

For international shipping options, see below.

Once an order ships from our warehouse, regardless of the shipping method, an email will be sent to you to let you know that your order was shipped and how it can be tracked. Orders shipped before 4:30pm PST will leave our warehouse that day, orders “shipped” after this time will leave the following business day. For USPS orders please allow 24 hours for delivery confirmations to become valid (www.usps.com) for UPS orders please allow a couple of hours before tracking #’s are “live” (www.ups.com)

Do you ship internationally?
We wouldn't leave you fine folks out in the cold! We have two international shipping methods: for Canada we use UPS Standard service (up to 7 business days for delivery), and for all other countries we use UPS Worldwide Saver (2-3 business days). * The price is based on the weight of your order and the shipping destination (please feel free to view our table of shipping costs-to-weights for exact charges at various weights). Our shipping charges cover only the cost of shipping your order to you, and DO NOT INCLUDE any duties and/or customs fees that are associated with any imported product. Such duties/fees are the customer's responsibility. To learn more about these charges, please contact your local UPS or government's customs office.

Once your order is shipped from our warehouse, an email will be sent to you to let you know that your order was shipped, and to let you know how it can be tracked.

Please note that certain items cannot be shipped outside the U.S.

Please note that we can only ship to international customers when their shipping and billing information match exactly.

*We reserve the right to ship international packages via the United States Postal Service's International Air Mail if the cost of shipping via UPS is exorbitant, shipping via USPS can take up to 2 weeks to be delivered.
