Free No-Rush Shipping for Flatpacks and ExactPacks may not generate a tracking number.

Free No-Rush Shipping on Flatpack orders <$49

Flatpack Free No-Rush Shipping is an economy service delivered by The United States Postal Service (USPS), which may not provide tracking. On average, Free No-Rush Shipping orders are packed up and shipped within 2-4 business days and then typically reach their destination 3 to 8 business days after the date of shipment. If you need tracking or faster delivery, please pick a paid shipping method.

We are hearing of select incidents of Flatpack shipments arriving with postage due. This happens when a local postmaster mistakenly determines our Flatpack mailers to be too large for the envelope shipping rate. If you’ve been charged a shipping fee, please contact us about it so we can get you refunded.

Standard Shipping

Flat rate of $5.95 on Flatpack orders under $49

Flat rate of $7.95 for all other orders under $49

Free on orders over $49*

 On average, Standard Shipping orders are packed up and shipped within 2-4 business days and then typically reach their destination 3 to 5 business days after the date of shipment. 

Most of our Standard Shipping packages are delivered by the USPS. USPS is struggling with increased package volume and decreased revenue. These economy shipping services are the most prone to delay. To minimize the chance of delivery delays for more urgent orders, we encourage customers to select UPS Ground or another premium shipping option.

UPS Ground

Flat rate of $14.95 for orders under $49

Flat rate of $9.95 for orders over $49

On average, UPS Ground orders are packed up and shipped within 2-4 business days and then typically reach their destination 2-3 business days after the date of shipment. While we cannot guarantee a delivery date, UPS Ground tends to be faster and more reliable than free or Standard Shipping services that rely on USPS. Estimated shipping time based on your location will be provided during checkout. Note this service is not offered on orders with only Flatpacks under $49.

Premium Shipping

If your order is urgent, please select a premium shipping option to have your order packaged for shipment within 1 business day, guaranteed:

Express (UPS 2 to 3 Day): variable based on order size and location

Next Day (UPS Next Day): variable based on order size and location

UPS delivers 2nd Day and Next Day packages Monday – Friday, excluding postal holidays. Next Day shipping is guaranteed to arrive the next business day after the day of shipment, however, Express delivery is no longer guaranteed by UPS. We have seen only a few cases where a package arrived just one day later than the 2 to 3 Day estimate. 

Global Shipping

Unfortunately, we do not currently offer shipping to countries beyond the United States.
