Standard Shipping
We will ship via USPS First Class International, USPS Priority Flat Rate International, or USPS Priority International, whichever is cheapest.
US Postal Service (USPS) First Class International can be a cost effective method for shipping packages under 4 pounds (1.8 kg). Delivery times for First Class shipping may be slower than Priority, tracking information is limited, and the delivery date is not guaranteed.
We use USPS Priority International or Priority Flat Rate International for heavier packages. Priority shipping may not provide full tracking outside the US, and the delivery date is not guaranteed.
In our experience, typical delivery times for Priority mail have been 2-3 weeks to Canada, Great Britain, Northern Ireland, Ireland, New Zealand, Australia, Japan, Denmark, Norway, and Sweden; 3-4 weeks to France; 4 weeks to South Africa; and 5-6 weeks to Finland. Packages shipped during the holiday season usually take longer than this.
Express Shipping
USPS Express International is the fastest and most reliable international shipping method we offer. Express mail generally provides full tracking information for many countries.
In our experience, Express mail has taken 4 to 8 days for delivery starting the day after the package is received by the Post Office.
