Items ship from the U.S. via standard USPS mail by the day after payment is received and clears. Although I am quick to ship, I cannot predict when your item will arrive, just as you cannot predict when a letter you send to your grandma will arrive! It all depends on the US mail, and sometimes that is 2-5 days, and sometimes it is longer. Sorry I cannot guarantee any specific date you will receive it; I can only guarantee that I will send it. Packages ship with paypal or Etsy shipping, and that will allow you to track your shipment's progress.

There is an option for Priority USPS service at check out as well. Although this is typically a 3 business day delivery; again, this is NOT guaranteed by the USPS. The only mail service they guarantee is Guaranteed Overnight, which is quite expensive. Therefore, because the USPS does not guarantee delivery time on Priority, neither can I. I do not offer refunds on shipping for packages that do not make it on time, because these are not costs I can recover from the USPS.

For INTERNATIONAL shipping the delivery times vary greatly, and usually depend on whether an items gets held up in customs. Sometimes I am lucky and packages arrive within a week, however, it is just as likely to take 3-6 weeks, depending on location. PLEASE watch the tracking I provide to you, as customs will destroy any items in its possession once it is held 21 days, and it is not uncommon for attempted delivery notices to go unseen by customers.

International customers please be aware that your country's customs service may impose a range of import fees, taxes, tariffs, and/or duties at the time of delivery (VAT). For information on whether they will be imposed on you or how much they might be, please contact your local customs agency. I DO NOT COLLECT THESE FEES IN ADVANCE. I apologize but I am not legally able to mark packages as gifts, unless the item is a gift FROM ME. If I land myself in prison and leave my husband alone to raise our 3 kids, he will be none too pleased with me ~ thank you for understanding! :)
