Shipping Guidelines

General

1. Please contact me by email or phone before shipping anything to me. This lets me know when to expect your shipment.
   
2. Ship bows in a bow box packed inside of a larger cardboard box that is packed with packing peanuts or bubble wrap. Please do not ship in round tubes because they roll and often get lost or damaged. If you do not have a bow box or shipping supplies available to you, I can ship a box to you.
   
3. Ship only with a service that ships insured, and can instantaneously track the progress of the package. UPS, FedEX, and US Postal Service (Express of Priority Service) offer these services.
   
   Please do not ship via US Postal Parcel Post mail, as this service is not trackable, and can take up to three weeks to be delivered.

International Shipping

I am happy to ship to most countries outside of the USA. However, please note the differences that affect international requests.

1. I will send an individual bow internationally on approval, but a $50 shipping charge applies. However, if the bow is purchased, this charge will be credited towards the purchase price.
   
2. It is the buyer's responsibility to pay all import and VAT taxes upon acceptance of a shipment.
   
3. I cannot internationally ship bows that are made with prohibited materials like tortoise shell, ivory, and baleen (whalebone).
