Shipping Options

We primarily will use USPS as this is by far the least expensive shipping approach.

Rarely we have a combination of product and shipping location that causes us to incur a larger than normal shipping fee. In this case we reserve the right to offer the customer of accepting a greater shipping fee or to cancel the order.

Normal shipping times are 3-5 business days in the Continental US. You will receive an email with a tracking number once your package is shipped.

If you want expedited shipping or prefer a specific carrier, please call us at 888-879-7319.  We will work with you to get the package to you on time and at as reasonable price that we can get.

Outside the Continental US shipping times are variable. Please call us if you prefer a specific shipping service, please call or email us and we will charge you whatever the incremental cost is.   

International Shipping:  We now ship to Australia New Zealand, Western Europe, and Canada with automated rates provided by USPS. The minimum order size is $30. The customer is responsible to pay any duty and local sales taxes. Our shipping charges are estimates and we reserve the right to adjust shipping charges once we have the orders packaged. If there is an increase we will notify the customer and gain approval prior to shipment. If you are an international customer and want to order, please prepare you order, add address, and email us at service@confectioncouturestencils.com.
