Shipping Information

Shipping Charges  |  Shipping Methods  |  UPS Shipments  |  Post Office Shipments  |  Shipment Times


1. Shipping Charges:
All orders are shipped from our warehouse in Louisa, VA. Your shipping charge is based on the weight of the products that you purchase as well as the zone to which your order is being shipped. We compute your shipping after your order has been packed and weighed.   If you would like to know the shipping charge before placing your order, please Email Us and tell us which products you are interested in ordering as well as your zip code and we will email the shipping charge to you.   You can also select "Send Quote" as your shipping option on the order page and we will email the prices for UPS and USPS shipping to you. We will then await a return email from you with your preference before processing your order. Please check your spam folder. We can only hold the merchandise for 2 days after your quote has been sent. After 2 days, your order will be canceled.
TOP

2. Shipping Methods:
Our order page allows you to select your shipper of choice (UPS or USPS) as well as the speed which you would like to receive your order.   Once we have shipped your order via the shipper that you select, we are not responsible for UPS or USPS errors or delays.   (We do accept responsibility if the delay or mistake was ours.)

All orders are shipped insured and the shipper may require your signature. If you will not be at home, we are happy to ship to your business address. Please do not ask us to send the package with no signature required as this would void the insurance coverage. (Please note that, if your local UPS man normally leaves your packages without a signature, he will probably leave this one without a signature, too, as the local drivers seem to determine whether or not to enforce UPS's "signature required" regulation.)

We send tracking numbers for all shipemnts. Please track your order so that you will know when to expect it. Please check your mailbox for delivery attempt notices. The post office and UPS will return your shipment if it is unclaimed and we cannot refund your shipping charge. We send your tracking numbers so that you can track your package and are not responsible for the number of delivery attempts that UPS or USPS makes nor can we mediate between you and them.

All orders to post office boxes, APO's, FPO's, Alaska and Hawaii must ship via USPS.
TOP

2a. UPS Shipments:
UPS Logo
UPS nearly always charges less when shipping to commercial addresses vs. residential neighborhoods. We are happy to ship your order to your work address in order to save you a little money. Please be sure to enter the CORRECT BILLING ADDRESS (the address that your credit card statement goes to) in the BILLING field or your order will be dalayed if we have to contact you for this info.

You can select from Ground, 3-Day, 2-Day or Overnight Shipping.   In any case, we always ship your order insured and all UPS shipment delivery times are guaranteed**, even Ground, except in *adverse weather conditions."
Please click here to see a UPS Ground Time Shipping Chart.

** UPS GROUND SHIPPING times are not guaranteed for shipments scheduled to be DELIVERED from Dec. 11th thru Dec 31st. In order to have your shipment time guaranteed, UPS requires that you upgrade to 3-Day Select, 2-Day Air or Overnight Air. Obviously, if you are ordering early there is no need to expect that you should have to upgrade in order to get it there on time. Also, UPS does not guarantee ANY shipment to arrive in time for Christmas if shipped between Dec. 21st thru Dec. 23rd.

UPS Air shipping rates can be shockingly expensive, especially for large or heavy items and, if you need to have your order quickly, we encourage you to request a quote when you place your order. Just select "Send Quote" from the drop-list under shipping uptions and we will send you a quote and hold your order until you have approved the shipping charge.   Many times, folks request 1, 2 or 3 Day Shipping when regular Ground shipping will get it there in the same time and with the same guarantee.   If you would like to know how long regular UPS Ground Shipping will take, Click Here for a UPS Ground Shipping Time Chart.

Please note: If the charge for shipping exceeds the product total, we require your approval before shipping your order. To avoid delay in the shipment of your order, please be certain that you have listed your contact info correctly. Also, please check for email from us or for a phone message. The best way to contact us to check on your order is by email.

When you receive your shipping confirmation email from us, your UPS tracking number will be listed so that you can track your package and know when to expect it.

Please note that, if your package goes missing during the delivery process, UPS will issue a full refund for the products as well as the shipping charge. You must notify us to let us know that UPS tracking info states that the carton was delivered but you never received it. We will file a claim for you and UPS will initiate a 7 day investigation. If the carton has not been located within 7 days, a full refund will be given. If the carton shows up within the 7 day period and the delivery time was later than initially stated by UPS, they will refund your shipping charge. Please understand that UPS will not authorize us to ship a replacement to you at their expense, even if you paid for Next Day Air shipping, and we cannot do so at our expense, due to UPS's mistake. If you desperately have to have the item, and wish to have it reshipped, you must place a new order. If and when the original carton does turn up, and if you want to return it for a refund, shipping charges cannot be refunded.

*Adverse weather may void UPS' shipment time guarantee. Adverse weather pertains not only to the area where you live but also to the areas that UPS must go through to get your package to you. UPS does not re-route your package to avoid areas with bad weather so, in the event of bad weather, they simply allow your package to sit until the weather clears. This means that, if you have requested Next-Day-Air and, due to adverse weather, it takes 3 days for your package to be delivered, UPS will not issue a refund or even a price adjustment. Our responsibility is to ship your package as you request us to and we make no profit at all on shipping charges. We cannot refund shipping charges due to UPS' policies or mistakes that they make.

UPS Ground shipping to zones 1-4 on the chart is sometimes the most economical. If you live in zones 5 & 6 and need your package quicker, USPS 2-3 Day Priority is sometimes your best option for speed at a lower cost. This rule applies to small packages that weigh 1 pound or less. Heavier packages are usually less expensive if shipped by UPS.
TOP

2b. USPS Shipments:
USPS Logo

USPS Priority shipping usually takes 3-5 days within the continental US, however USPS offers no guarantee on Priority shipping times.   Shipments to AK, HI, PR and the US VI generally take 3-5 days, however there is no guarantee.   USPS will not guarantee their performance on Priority shipments but they do seem to try to get it there on time most of the time. You will receive an email from them with your tracking number but please do not be alarmed if you track your package after 2 days and are told that they haven't picked it up yet. USPS doesn't do a very good job of updating tracking info and you will usually receive your package before their tracking info even indicates that they have picked it up from us. Please understand that USPS does not offer the conveniences for Priority shipments that UPS does. If your package is late, they will not refund your money (as UPS does). If your package goes missing, you are required to wait 21 days before the USPS will even look at a claim. If you ask us to re-ship the item to you, you must enter an entirely new order and pay for it again. If the original carton ever shows up, you must return it to us at your expense in order to get a refund and the shipping charges (both ways) are not refundable. Please understand that we make no profit on shipping charges at all. You pay the actual amount that the USPS charged to ship your order. If they goof up, we can't cover the loss for them. We hate to be so blunt about it but, if you select USPS as your shipper, you do so at your own risk.

USPS shipments for small packages that weigh 2 pounds or less are often less expensive than UPS ground and, for mid-West and West-coast customers, they often arrive much more quickly.
TOP

2c. Cheapest Shipping Method:
If you have selected a shipper that is more expensive than another (if UPS costs more than USPS or vise versa) we will select the least expensive shipping method for you.
TOP

3. Shipment Times:
Orders generally ship within 3-5 business days unless the info on the top of the check-out page indicates differently. Items that are not in stock are indicated on the product's page and usually show an approximate availability date somewhere close to the order button.

UPS does not pick-up on week-ends so orders placed after the cut-off time on Friday don't ship until Monday.   Giftwrap may delay your order by a day.

If you would like to know how long it will take for a UPS ground shipment to arrive before placing your order, please Click Here for a UPS Ground Shipping Time Chart.   UPS shipment times are guaranteed except during inclement weather and during the 2 week period just before Christmas.

Returns
Product Return Info  |  Broken Items  |  Contacting Us and Who We Are  |  Giftwrapping


1.Returns:
Because our store is closing and merchandise has been reduced in price, We will not accept returned merchandise for any reason nor can we offer refunds. The only exception is if the merchandise was recieved broken.

In the event of breakage during shipment we will, at our option, refund or replace the item or refer you to the manufacturer, who will replace the item directly. In the event that shipping charges are refunded, we will refund ground shipping rates only. Orders that were shipped by air will be refunded an adjusted shipping amount that reflects the ground shipping rate.
TOP

2. Damaged Merchandise:
We pack shipments carefully and breakage is rare but, should any of your items arrive broken, please follow the instructions below for the shipper who delivered your order:

UPS Shipments:
Instructions are printed on the bottom of the invoice that accompanies your shipment.   If essence, you just need to call or email to let us know and we will file a claim with the UPS.   UPS will pick the item up, usually within a day, and we will ship a replacement.   Please do not ship damaged merchandise directly back to us or it may invalidate the claim.   You should pack the broken item back into the carton that you received it in, as well as all packing materials, and make sure to leave the shipping label on the package.

USPS Shipments:
In the event of breakage with your USPS-delivered shipment, please return the broken item to the shipping carton, along with all packing materials, and leave the shipping label on the carton. Please take the carton, along with the invoice for your order that was included with your shipment, to your local post office to file the claim. If the USPS requires any additional info, they will contact us directly. Please note that, if you prefer that we file the claim with the USPS, you will have to ship the broken item back to us at your expense. If you choose to do this, USPS requires that the shipping carton, along with the packaging materials and the shipping label remain intact so you will have to package the entire thing into a larger carton in order to ship it to us. We regret that the USPS has established these rules but have no control over their policies.

Please Note: Our warehouse is not not open to the public. All orders ship from our warehouse. We're sorry but we do not offer a printed catalog because our products are constantly changing as new merchandise arrives and other items sell out.   We do update our site daily to keep product listings current but, especially since our merchandise is now reduced in price, we may sell out of an item before our website can be updated or we may not have the quantities that you have requested. If we do not have an item in your order, we will delete the item from your order. If we do not have the quantity that you have requested, we will adjust the quantity on your order and ship what we have.

We are a retail store only and do not wholesale.   Because we are a small store, we do not stock vast quantities of any particular item, nor do we manufacture any items.   If you need many of any particular item it would be best to call or email to check availability before ordering.

They helped me select something else and were in constant contact with me all that day. Mind you, I was ordering on Dec. 21st so I'm sure they were extremely busy during this time.

Great personal calls to remind me of special events. Fast service, excellent packing and shipping done with much care. The store is a joy to visit, however I am seven hours away, so shop mostly by e-mail for my signed nutcrackers. I am amazed they keep such a good record of my interests and let me know about specials!---Evelyn F., Wyoming, PA

This was the second time I ordered from Christmases Past. Both times I ordered something that was extremely fragile and the pieces arrived in perfect condition. I was very happy with my dealings with Christmases Past and I have recommended them to my friends and family. Their delivery was also very prompt.---Carol G., Gardner, MA

Fast shipping, user friendly site. Bravo!---Heather C., Long Beach, CA

They responded in several minutes to my special request. They have done above and beyond my order, by deciding how best to ship my special requests and my current orders. They were curteous and extremely friendly. Thanks for continual incredible service you have always provided me.---Melissa R., Belleview, WA

Greatest Seasonal Online Shop. This is the best place on the Internet to order your seasonal collectibles. Youll be glad that you did - I highly recommend this retailer - you wont find another better.---Keith H., Atlanta, GA
