Combined Shipping
What is it?
International customers can now select a $3 shipping option titled "Combined Shipping (Billed at the start of next month)". This allows international customers to order multiple times a month without having to pay multiple instances of shipping charges. It is combined into one package, and shipped at the beginning of the next month.
How does it work?
Select the $3 "Combined Shipping (Billed at the start of next month)" shipping option at checkout. Your order will be held for the duration of the calendar month. On the first weekday of the following calendar month, we will calculate how much all of your combined shipping orders will cost to ship in one package, and send you an invoice.
The $3 Combined Shipping price is a convenience fee that compensates our staff for the extra time it takes to combine the orders and manually invoice shipping. It does not count toward the final shipping charge.
For instance, let's say you placed 4 orders throughout November, and choose the Combined Shipping option at checkout. In the first week of December, you will be invoiced a singular shipping charge for all November orders combined, and we will ship once you have paid for your invoice. Instead of paying for shipping three separate times, you'd be paying for shipping just once.
We will process Combined Shipping orders at the beginning of each month, so please plan your purchases accordingly. If you need your order sent out immediately, please select First Class or UPS shipping at checkout, and it will be sent separately from Combined Shipping orders.
What does it mean for me?
If you'd like to place multiple orders a month and you live outside of the USA, Combined Shipping turns all orders placed within a calendar month into a singular shipment where you're only charged shipping ONCE. You can save a lot of cash by making a combined monthly order rather than paying for shipping multiple times!
Guidelines
- The Combined Shipping option is only available to International, non-USA addresses.
- An order must be placed using the Combined Shipping option at checkout to be combined. Any order placed with First Class or UPS shipping at checkout will be shipped ASAP, and will not be included in combined orders.
- Once you select your shipping method at checkout, we will not be able to change your shipment method. This means that if you select Combine Shipping at checkout, we will not be able to change your order to other shipment options to process your order sooner.
- Once the calendar month has ended, no new items may be added to open orders.
- In the event an invoice is not paid with in 5 business days, we will cancel and refund all Combined Shipping orders, and may reserve the right to refuse service for future orders.
- Shipping costs can vary based on item quantity and weight. Please bear in mind that combining multiple orders can lead to a slightly higher shipping cost, but will remain cheaper than multiple shipments.
- The $3 Combined Shipping price is a convenience fee that compensates our staff for the extra time it takes to combine the orders and manually invoice shipping. It does not count toward the final shipping charge.
