International Orders

INTERNATIONAL ORDERS MAY REQUIRE ADDITIONAL SHIPPING CHARGES AND TIME IN TRANSIT.  

Due to certain variables such as box size and weight our shipping module may not calculate an exact International shipping rate.  Also, some products may require insurance, therefore when International orders are placed the customer will be notified of the accurate shipping cost for UPS or alternate shipping method.  

If you have a preferred shipping preference (US Mail, or UPS, etc) please specify in the customer notes section when placing the order. 

Please call the store direct at (480) 945-3289 for more details.

After confirmation of a damaged shipment, we will ship your replacement item out at our discretion and only once were advised by the shipping carrier that their claim process has been finalized. Please be patient, standard processing time is usually 8 - 14 business days.

It is important that you keep the original damaged shipping container for the carrier to inspect. They will send the UPS driver back to your drop off location to inspect the damage.
