International FAQ
I placed an international order and cannot track my package, why?
Some shipping methods such as International Airmail cannot be tracked as individual packages are not scanned. There is no information that we can give you which will allow you to track these packages. We ship out large bundles of orders directly into many countries which makes our international shipping charges lower than many online retailers. Should you need tracking information, you may use a premium shipping option like UPS or FedEx if it is offered for your country. Use the shipping calculator in your shopping cart to view your full range of options.
When will my international order ship?
While we utilize a wide network of distribution centers and warehouses in the USA to maintain our offering, we must first consolidate all international orders to one location before shipping. This may add several days processing time to your order depending on the item availability and location within our network. We follow this procedure to ensure we can:
Offer a low cost shipping method for our international customers
Send all packages through the fastest shipping channels
Avoid customs delays and fines by shipping in one package
What if I do not receive my package or it takes too long, can I just file with my credit card or PayPal, for a refund?
Our official policy, as noted above, is that we are unable to offer refunds for international packages due to delay, loss, or customs hold. To protect our customers who value our ability to get products into countries around the world, any attempt to file a claim with your bank or credit card will put your account into a “Suspended” status. While we work to provide proof of shipment for your bank or credit card to return funds to us, you will no longer be allowed to order from our site or any of our subsidiaries. While this may seem harsh, we must do this to ensure our company continues to serve our long time customers who agree to our international shipping policies and understand the risks associated with this service.
To have your account reinstated, you will need to contact us directly and request an account review. Any charges still outstanding will need to be paid for in addition to this review process.
