GENERAL SHIPPING POLICY
The Center for Amazon Community Ecology will usually be able to process your order in no more than five (5) business days although we are frequently able to do so within one or two days. We will advise you as soon as possible if processing your order will be delayed beyond this time so you can decide if you wish us to continue fulfilling your order as soon as we are able to do so. Since we usually send orders via USPS Priority Mail to destinations in the U.S., orders will usually reach their destination in no more than two weeks. This delivery time, however, is frequently less than one week. As soon as an order is fulfilled, the buyer will receive a notice by email with information that will allow tracking of the package en route to its destination. 


IMPORTANT NOTICE TO INTERNATIONAL CUSTOMERS
Please note that the shipping costs calculated at checkout ONLY include the cost of shipping the items, and DO NOT include any additional costs related to customs or duty. Once the items reach the country of destination, it will be the sole responsibility of the recipient (not CACE or Shopify) to pay for any customs or duty fees to receive their items. If the customer declines to pay such fees to clear these items through customs and the items are returned to the sender in good condition, CACE will refund the purchase price of the items minus a 10% restocking fee to the buyer. CACE will not, however, refund the shipping fee.
