As you may be aware, both domestic and international postal services have been disrupted due to the pandemic's influence on shipping volumes and staffing challenges. Currently, USPS reliability is improving and is delivering most domestic shipment on time. Approximately 1 in 8 packages are expected to arrive more than 3 days late. Please consider this when placing an order.
International shipments, particularly those sent via USPS First-Class Intl. may be subject to several weeks delay if they are routed via surface shipment (on a container ship).
We are currently unable to ship to the UK due to border related issues and their impact on USPS, Royal Mail and DHL services
