#7 Shipping Terms & Conditions
7.1 You accept USPS, UPS, DHL and all other mail carriers SBA offers ("Mail Carrier(s)") as reliable mail carriers and SBA’s carriers of choice.
If you select USPS mail service, SBA will send your packages with United States Postal Service ("USPS"). Depending on the type of USPS service you choose (First Class, Priority Mail, or Express Mail) the package may show receipt by the USPS, but may not show any tracking information after it was received by the USPS. Even mail service types that typically provide full tracking information to your location may sometimes not show any information beyond the USPS receiving the package. SBA has no influence or control over the internal processes of Mail Carriers or the local postal system of your country. SBA can not be held liable for any mistakes made by a Mail Carrier or your local country's postal service. SBA strongly advises against using USPS for orders going to locations outside the USA unless it is Priority Shipped. DHL or UPS are also great options if you want accurate tracking.
7.2 Lost Packages
If the tracking information for your package shows receipt by any of SBA’s mail carriers, SBA is not responsible if your package never arrives at your location. No refunds will be provided if your package is lost in the mail system either in the USA or in your destination country. Almost all packages sent by SBA reach their recipient & destination.
7.3 Mail Service Delays
Depending on your ship to address, it can take much longer than indicated for a package to reach you and independent of the mail service you chose during check-out. The delivery time frames provided are averages for most mail pieces. SBA is not responsible if a Mail Carrier or your local country's postal service delays the arrival of your package due to custom holds or other issues. SBA does not provide refunds in case your package is delayed.
7.4 Customs, Duties, & "Return to Sender" Packages
For orders shipped outside the USA, you are solely responsible for any and all import duties your local customs office may impose on your order. If a package is returned to SBA due to the Mail Carrier's inability to collect customs duties or deliver the package to your provided ship-to address, SBA will not refund shipping costs when and if the package is returned to SBA.
7.5 No Freight Forwarding Addresses
We do not allow orders to be shipped to freight forwarding addresses. We ship internationally to almost any country in the world.
7.6 No Hotel Addresses
We do not allow orders to be shipped to hotels. Please provide a permanent street address.
7.7 PO Boxes
Shipments to PO Boxes are reviewed on a case by case basis and may be declined. To avoid your order being held for review, use your regular residential address. Paypal confirmed addresses are best.
7.8 Canceled Order & Refunds
All orders that are declined by us due to violation of any of our shipping rules are automatically voided with your method of payment and canceled.
7.9 Time to Ship
Orders placed before 12pm will usually ship same day if all items are in stock. However our normal shipping time frame is at least 1 business day from the time your order is placed until the time it is shipped. "Overnight" and other expedited forms of shipping reference the time of shipment instead of the time the order is placed.
