Generally, all orders are processed and shipped within 24 to 48 hours of receipt.  The actual  time in shipment, however, may vary somewhat, based on the shipping method you have requested. The default method for shipping is Ground Service. This generally guarantees you delivery within 5 working days anywhere in the Continental U.S. Obviously, if you have requested express delivery, this time will be much shorter. Lead time and delivery schedules for International orders will always vary due to in transit times and customs.

TRANSIT TIMES
a-zdarts.com is not responsible for service transit time.  Transit times provided by the carrier, exclude weekends and holidays, and may vary with package origin and destination, particularly during peak periods.  UPS guarantees their contiguous states delivery times (except during peak periods this may change).  UPS does not guarantee their delivery times for Alaska customers. UPS  guarantees express only deliveries to Hawaii. 
 
The United States Postal Service will state that PRIORITY MAIL packages may be delivered within 2 to 3 business days, but the US MAIL IS NOT GUARANTEED EVER.  FIRST CLASS MAIL may generally take 7 to 10 days to be delivered, but again, US MAIL IS NOT GUARANTEED EVER
 
INTERNATIONAL PACKAGES sent by the mail service is not guaranteed.  The amount of time your package takes to clear customs will also vary the delivery time.  The postal service will state that GLOBAL EXPRESS MAIL packages may be delivered within 5 to 7 business days, but again, POSTAL PACKAGES ARE NOT GUARANTEED.  The postal service will state that GLOBAL PRIORITY MAIL packages may be delivered within 4 to 15 business days, but POSTAL PACKAGES ARE NOT GUARANTEED.  International packages sent by UPS will generally be delivered by their expected delivery date.  However, there may delays in clearing customs.  UPS will do everything they can to ensure a timely delivery and clearing customs.  For the service of pushing your package through customs, they charge a fee which is due upon delivery.  This charge may be in addition to any duties and taxes that are charged by customs. 


=================================


Shipping Fees

There is $1.50 handling charge added to the real-time shipping charges.  Real-time shipping is the cost provided from the carrier at the time you select how you want your order delivered.  

If you contact us with a change in shipping address, or if you provide an incorrect shipping address, you will be subject to a charge which the shipping carrier imposes on us in the amount of $15.00.

Cancelled Orders/Refused Packages/Undeliverable Packages that are returned:

We usually ship orders within 24 hours.  If you call to cancel an order after it has been shipped, a $15.00 charge (which is a UPS package return charge) will be imposed upon you.  This fee will be taken off at the time of processing your refund.  Refused packages and packages that are returned after 3 delivery attempts will have the same return fee applied to them.  There should be no problem with canceling an order prior to shipping.


International Customers Please Note:     A-ZDarts.com is not responsible for any duties or customs charges you may incur to get your package into your country.


=================================


Domestic Orders

All domestic orders will normally be shipped by Ground Service unless otherwise specified. This generally guarantees you delivery within 5 working days anywhere in the U.S. If you are placing your order via our on-line E-Commerce system, the Carrier's real-time shipping charges  will be calculated and added to your order automatically during checkout. If for some reason the carrier's online shipping calculator is down or you chose a method not available for your package and the order is processed without shipping charges, your credit card will be charged for shipping prior to being sent out.

Please make sure when filling out your zip code on the form that you use ONLY the first 5 digits.  All digits after the 1st 5 will confuse the carrier's real-time shipping calculator and you will not be able to see the methods available for you package.  
     
If shipping to Alaska and Hawaii, you must choose UPS 2nd Day or next Day Air, USPS priority mail, or Fed-Ex standard over night or Fed-Ex 2 day. If you choose a method not available for your package, your shipping will go to the default method and we will have to adjust your shipping before we charge your card.

Please note: 1st class mail is ONLY available for lighter packages. Please make sure that this is an option before choosing it (Usually orders under $20.00 are safe). If the shipping defaults to zero dollars, unless you ordered items with free shipping, your total will be adjusted to reflect shipping and your credit card will be charged accordingly.


     Furthermore, if shipping to a different address, please fill in all of the information, including 1st & last name, shipping address, city, state, zip, and country. If any of these fields are missing, your shipping will automatically go to the default method.

     If we see your shipping is the default method, and you have not specified in the special instructions area how you want it shipped, we will automatically ship your package
GROUND for Continental US Residents
Priority mail for Alaska, Hawaii, P.O. Boxes, & Military Mail
1st class mail for orders with less than 10 sets of flights.  Should your final shipping rates be higher than your default charges, we reserve the right to charge accordingly and ship. 



=================================


U.S. Mail

We have added U.S. Mail for domestic and International customers.  This is the only method available for Post Office Box addresses. All US Mail orders require a signature for delivery due to the many mis-delivered or "lost" packages.   Postal claims for lost and damaged packages must be called in before 30 days.  However, the postal system does not honor any claims made until after 30 days.  Any refunds for lost or damaged postal packages will be made after 30 days from the original ship date.



=================================


International Orders

International Customers

International 1st class mail not-trackable is no longer a functioning option.  
If you would like International 1st class mail not-trackable and your order weight is under 4 pounds, choose the trackable option and then please write Ship not-trackable in the special instructions box.  Your order will be adjusted before we charge your card. 
Thank You and we apologize for any inconvenience.

Please choose International or None for the STATE field on the check-out form if you do not have a state or providence.  DUE TO SECURITY REASONS, WE WILL NOT SEND INTERNATIONAL ORDERS TO DIFFERENT SHIP TO ADDRESS.  Our on-line Shopping Cart will calculate actual real-time shipping rates.  In order to obtain the exact shipping for UPS and US Mail you must fill in all * fields. International customers have the option of selecting UPS World Wide Express, UPS World Wide Expedited, US Mail Global Express and US Mail Global Priority.  The pop-up for "Preview Rates and Shipping Methods" will show the available shipping options for your package. If your shipping defaults to 0.00 and you have not specified shipping instructions, we will ship by US Mail least expensive way. 

Address verifications are done for all first time international customers.  This can delay shipping of your order up to 7 to 10 business days depending on your bank.  If we cannot verify your address we will not be able to process your order.  You will be notified by e-mail of any problems regarding this verification.

International orders must meet our minimum of $20.00 plus shipping and handling.  Due to the paperwork and cost for processing International orders, all International orders under $20.00 are subject to a $6.50 service fee.  This fee will be added at time of charging.

Items advertised with free ground shipping, will clearly show that offer on the select item’s page.
