Shipping & Policies

Shipping Information

Our shopping cart automatically generates a shipping amount based on the total amount of your order.  As you know, our items come in all shapes, sizes, and weights!  We ship via US Postal Priority Service unless otherwise requested by the customer. Small items shipped in the US (such as patterns and books that will fit in a manila envelope) will be charged less than Priority if possible. We will always ship in the smallest package available and alter your shipping fees accordingly. We understand that shipping adds to the cost of your purchase, and we wish to be as fair as possible! However, sale items may incur additional shipping than what is initially on your invoice (the items didn't get any smaller or lighter - they just got cheaper!).  You are not billed at the time that you place your order - we process your payment through PayPal ourselves in our store once all items have been picked and packed and adjust any shipping costs there.  This allows us to alter the automatic shipping rates that are generated by our shopping cart software, if applicable.

International Orders

Please Note: We are not responsible for the receipt of international shipping. We send our international packages via the least expensive method but if a customer wants tracking or insurance they need to request it from us and will be billed at the applicable rate. If tracking or insurance is purchased and the package is not received we will assist in the tracking request but we will not be responsible for the receipt of the package.  Any customs, duty, or taxes are the responsibility of the customer.

Global Priority Countries:

We ship Global Priority Mail to all countries that are on the Global Priority system. A Global Priority Mail shipment to Canada, Mexico, and to all other countries is billed at actual shipping costs. In most cases, Global Priority Mail is less expensive than surface mail and will arrive in approximately 7-10 days as opposed to 6 to 8 weeks via surface. Shipments that are over 4 lbs or will not fit into the USPS large flat rate envelope will be billed as quoted by USPS.  If possible, large orders may be shipped in multiple flat rate envelopes, as this is often more cost-effective than a single box, unless you directly specify that you wish to receive only one package.

Non-Global Priority Countries:

Shipping prices to non-Global Priority Mail Countries can vary widely. Please specify when ordering whether you want surface or air shipping. Shipping charges will be billed as quoted by the US Post Office.

Sales Tax

Orders placed from within the state of Texas will have 8.25% sales tax added. International orders (outside the US) may be subject to customs duties and taxes and are the responsibility of the purchaser.

Payment Options

We accept Visa, MasterCard, and Discover.

We’ll be glad to answer any questions you may have.  Direct your inquiries to info@thequiltasylum.com
