Orders are mailed on business days only (Monday through Friday), excluding holidays.
Product Availability
Please note that CaribbeanFlags.com tries to keep accurate information about product availability. However, with over 900 products in inventory we cannot promise that all items that are ordered will be in stock or available for immediate shipment. Sudden increase in demand for an item can have an affect on its availability and you will be notified via email once this has been identified.
Shipping Carrier
CaribbeanFlags.com uses USPS for all of your Domestic, International, and Military Shipping needs. Occasionally we will use UPS if it is requested by our customers or if the customer chooses Express shipping and the US postal service cannot guarantee package delivery on time.
Transit Times
USPS Priority Mail | 2–3 business days from ship date (see above) based on destination
USPS Express Mail NO LONGER AVAILABLE. | 0 business days
USPS International Air Letter/Parcel Post | 7-10 business days from ship date (see above).
Where We Ship
CaribbeanFlags.com accept orders worldwide at this time however, we reserve the right to cancel any order that we deem suspicious or orders from countries that are known for high fraud rates.
Shipments to United States APO & FPO Military bases. USPS is very inconsistent when it comes to APO and FPO addresses. We will notify you if we can NOT ship your order to your military address. All military orders will be calculated and shipped USPS Priority mail only. There is no Express Mail service available to military addresses.
Where we do NOT ship
Due to high rates of fraud we will not ship any orders to Nigeria. Other countries are subject to be added on a case to case basis.
Shipping Costs
We use a shipping method that calculates your shipping costs based on three factors:
The total weight of the items that your order
The distance between our warehouse and the "ship to" address you provide us
The method of shipping you use: (Priority or Express)
We try our best to maximize the number of items we can add to a package while keeping the shipping cost down during checkout. It would be more cost effective to purchase multiple items within one order than to place multiple orders so that you can save on shipping costs when by buying more!
To preview shipping costs for a purchase simply add the product to the shopping cart. Once items are added, our system will allow you to enter a "ship to" zip code. Shipping rates will be calculated and appear in your shopping cart. Upon check out you will be given the opportunity to select the shipping method of your choice.
Customs Fees & Duties
All customs fees and charges for international orders are the responsibility of the receiver and a refund will not be given if a package is refused. If you have any questions about custom fees please email us.
Packaging
Most items are shipped in packaging material in order to prevent them from being damaged during transit. In the rare case where an item was damaged please contact us so that we can handle the replacement of that item.
