- Shipping and insurance

Shipping: We ship via USPS Priority Mail and UPS. You may specify which method you prefer. The shopping cart provides the closest possible estimate on shipping + handling and may require slight adjustments to the shipping total. Shipping charges are based on size and weight of package(s). Orders containing glass may require additional packaging and wrapping to prevent breakage and therefore, may incur additional shipping charges.

Shipping is FOB Mechanicsville, Virginia. Packages shipped by UPS ground may take up to 9 days to some zones. Please keep this in mind when placing gift orders to allow for processing and delivery time. We don't want you to be disappointed.

Insurance: Please choose your shipping method carefully. Orders shipped by USPS Priority Mail are uninsured unless requested - if a package is lost or damaged we are not liable. Insurance is available at an additional charge. Please state your insurance request when placing your order; the charge will be added to your order total. UPS shipping rates include insurance for the first $100 of your order. Additional insurance is also available for orders valued over $100. If you choose USPS Priority Mail as your shipping method and do not request insurance, we will not be held responsible for damaged or lost orders. Though lost or damaged shipments are extremely rare, they can happen especially during high-volume shipping times.

Shipping Addresses: PLEASE double check your shipping address when ordering. If you enter the wrong address, it is your responsibility to make sure we have corrected it in our database by calling or emailing us as soon as possible. Shipments delivered to the wrong address due to your mistake are not our responsibility. Should your package be returned to us due to an incorrect address, you will be responsible for the reshipping costs.

Multiple Addresses: Please place a separate order for items going to multiple addresses. Shipping charges are calculated for each order separately.

International Orders: At this time we are currently shipping only to addresses in the United States and Canada.
