Applicable taxes, shipping charges, discounts, and other order-related amounts will be displayed during checkout where required.

Our current shipping structure is:

  • Orders with a merchandise subtotal of $10.00 or more qualify for free standard shipping.

  • Orders with a merchandise subtotal below $10.00 are subject to a $5.99 standard shipping charge.

The merchandise subtotal is calculated before shipping charges and applicable taxes, unless the checkout page clearly states otherwise.

6. Payment

Payment must be successfully authorized before an order can be processed.

We may use third-party payment providers to handle payment transactions. Their separate terms, security practices, and privacy policies may apply.

Customers are responsible for providing accurate billing and payment information and ensuring that they are authorized to use the selected payment method.

7. Orders and Acceptance

When you submit an order, you are making an offer to purchase the selected products under these Terms.

  • Product unavailability.

  • Incorrect or incomplete shipping information.

  • Suspected fraudulent or unauthorized payment activity.

We remain responsible for complying with applicable requirements concerning shipment delays, cancellation options, and refunds.

Additional details are provided in our separate Shipping Policy.
