Returns, Refund and Shipping Policies

TERMS OF SALE:


By ordering online through store.fssuniverse.org, you agree that you have read and understand the contents of this page, including our shipping policy, return policy & cancellation policy. If you have any questions at all concerning our policies, please contact us by email or phone before placing your order and we will be happy to resolve any questions you have.

Backorders: Backordered items are those that are temporarily out of stock at the time your order is processed. We allow our customers to cancel backordered items and receive a refund at anytime. If you decide to cancel a backordered item we will issue a refund by the same method as the original payment. If you decide not to cancel a backordered item, we will ship that item when we receive our next shipment at no additional shipping cost to you. Contact us if you have any questions or concerns.


SHIPPING POLICY:
We process most orders as we receive them and usually ship within 1 business day. Our shipping and handling use a calulated rate based on USPS shipping rates. Shipments to addresses outside the continental U.S. are charged actual shipping fees, plus $2 handling fee. We ship orders until 5:00 pm EST M-F, except U.S. holidays. Read our shipping policy in detail below. If you have any questions please contact us.

NOTE: If by chance our shipping department shows your address to be invalid for any reason, we will attempt to contact you to confirm your correct shipping address. We will attempt to contact you three (3) times before we ship your order to confirm your shipping address. This is to prevent an undeliverable shipment. In the event that we do not receive a response from you to confirm your shipping address after three attempts, we will ship your order to the address you provided. If the address turns out to be invalid, you may be responsible for any additional shipping costs that result from an undeliverable shipment.

SHIPPING WITHIN THE CONTINENTAL U.S.:
You may request any method and speed of shipping you require (additional charges may apply). If you do not request a specific method, we ship packages at our discretion via the United States Postal Service (USPS) 1st Class and Priority,or FedEx. Orders are shipped without delivery signature requirements unless otherwise requested (additional fees apply). When a delivery confirmation/tracking number is provided, we are not responsible for lost or stolen packages if the carrier claims delivery. If you do not receive a package, in which delivery is confirmed by the carrier, we will help you to contact the carrier to try and resolve the issue but we are not liable for a lost package. For additional protection against loss or damage, we recommend you purchase a signature service and/or insurance at the time your order is placed (for an additional fee). Please specify any special shipping instructions (Specific Carrier, Overnight Delivery , 2Day Delivery, Signature Requirement, Insurance, etc.) at the time your order is placed. Additional fees may apply for special delivery requests and delivery to P.O. BOX addresses.

SHIPPING OUTSIDE THE CONTINENTAL U.S.:
Including Alaska, Hawaii, Foreign U.S. Military Addresses & U.S. Territories (i.e. Puerto Rico)
If you are shipping to an address outside the continental United States, we will contact you with the actual shipping rate, so please disregard the $6.95 domestic flat S/H rate. We will contact you after your order regarding your shipping options. If you require a shipping quote before you order please email us (webstore (at) fssuniverse.org) or call us 970-264-0592 and we will provide you with an international shipping quote.

-International Rates:
We ship internationally based on your shipping choice via USPS International 1st Class/Priority, DHL, or FedEx. For price considerations, we allow you to choose the method of shipment. USPS Intl 1st Class is typically the least expensive, but we cannot track the package past the U.S. border, and we are not responsible if it gets lost, stolen, or damaged in transit. DHL and FedEx are generally more expensive, but we can track the package to your door. For additional protection against loss or damage, we recommend you purchase a signature service and/or insurance at the time your order is placed (for an additional fee). Once we inform you of the shipping options, you have 48 hours to reply. If we do not hear from you, we will ship your order by DHL or FedEx and you will be responsible for that shipping charge.

-International Customs:
The recipient of the international shipment, is wholly responsible for resolving ALL customs charges and fees. If you refuse to resolve any customs issue that is either out of our control or out of the parcel carriers' control and results in the package being held at customs, then you forfeit any possible reimbursement of the product cost and/or shipping cost.
