Shipping Policy
DOMESTIC SHIPPING WITHIN THE U.S.A.
Our top priority is to offer you the best shipping rate, and we do not charge anything over and above the finite cost of shipping. A flat rate will be applied to your item(s) at checkout.
WHAT ABOUT INTERNATIONAL ORDERS?
Due to varying weight, dimensions, and country stipulations, we cannot discern ahead of time what the total cost of shipping will be for international items. Therefore, each customer will be billed retroactively for any additional shipping expenses. We encourage ALL international clients to add the e-mail address shazam@sistarcodealchemy.com to their contacts to help prevent our e-mails from being intercepted by spam.
INTERNATIONAL SHIPPING - DUTIES & TAXES
All international orders are potentially subject to a Customs Duty or Tax imposed by their specific country. The amount will vary depending on the country you reside in and the declared value of your package. Due to the diversity of rates, we cannot discern this ahead of time, so we encourage you to do your own bit of research on your specific country.
IS THERE ANY WAY TO LESSEN THE DUTIES & TAX AMOUNT?
Yes! We are happy to help lessen the declared value of your item to the cost of “restocking” instead of the “commercial value”. However, this will affect the "insured value" if anything happens to your item during transit. This article helps explain some of the Duty & Tax processes- albeit for Europe specifically. Please e-mail shazam@sistarcodealchemy.com if you would like to discuss further options with your order.
*IMPORTANT* INTERNATIONAL SHIPMENTS
We will make two e-mail attempts to reach each client regarding any outstanding postage due on international shipments. If our correspondences go unanswered for 2 weeks, it is your duty to reach out to us via e-mail at shazam@sistarcodealchemy.com. Your package will be maintained here until the balance due is settled. No refunds will be given for ordered items, and then ignored on settling additional shipping expenses. Thank you immensely for your understanding.
