Do you offer expedited shipping?
Yes. And. Due to the impact of the pandemic we are only shipping on Thursdays, Fridays and Mondays. See below. If you live in California most orders will arrive within 2 days without expedited shipping.
Where is my order shipping from?
We ship out of California. If you live in CA pretty please do not ship 2 Day Air as your parcel will never see the inside of a plane.
How long will it take my order to arrive?
Ground delivery generally takes from 2 to 10 business days depending on where you are: West Coast usually takes 2-4 days. Traveling east, it will take anywhere from 2-10 days depending on where you are and what shipping you select.
Please keep in mind that UPS does not deliver on weekends, even for rushed shipping options, so if you place a “Next Day Air” order Thursday after business hours, or Friday, it may not arrive to you until Monday.
Do you charge tax?
Orders shipped within California will be charged sales tax. It’s the law. Outside of CA, we will not charge sales tax. Also, the law.
Do you care about the environmental impact of shipping?
Yes, we care very much about the earth that we are leaving to our children. UPS shipments are sent Carbon Neutral (costs us an extra 5 cents, which seems worth it to us, and we do not pass this on to you).
Please do not expect your delivery to arrive in a perfect new box—we recycle and reuse. However, if you are ordering a gift to be shipped, the gift box will be pretty and perfect. :)

How do I return my order?
COVID-19 Note:
We strongly advise insuring your return as the shipping systems are not 100% reliable and we cannot process a refund on anything which we have not received for obvious reasons-we don't have it! We love and trust our local USPS and UPS folks-shout out to all of them, but we cannot take responsibility for your return shipment. (Special shout out to Daniel in SF who often walks in and says "What's the Word?" (pause) "Mom's the Word!")
