Shipping Information

All shipping costs are calculated in real time in the shopping cart at time of checkout. You will always know your shipping costs when you place your order. We ship by both UPS and U.S. Postal Service. In the checkout, you will have the opportunity to try out the various shipping options available to determine the most economical choice prior to finalizing your order.



U.S. POSTAL PRIORITY MAIL SHIPPING: Postal shipping rates for all shipments valued at $20.00 or more will automatically have insurance calculated in at checkout. Shipments valued at less than $20.00 do not include insurance. Insurance may be added to shipments valued at less than $20.00 for an additonal $1.75. Please indicate that you wish this insurance on the comments section of your order and it will be added. This applies to postal shipments only, all UPS shipments include insurance.

**WE ARE NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR SAFE DELIVERY OF UNINSURED PRIORITY MAIL SHIPMENTS. **

DAMAGED SHIPMENTS: Over 99% of our shipments arrive to the customer safe and sound. However occasionally items in a shipment are damaged in transit. All merchandise is carefully inspected prior to shipping, and professionally packed using high strength corrugated boxes and appropriate fill materials. If you should receive damaged items, YOU MUST RETAIN ALL SHIPPING CARTONS AND PACKING MATERIALS AND CONTACT US IMMEDIATELY. This is necessary because when we file a damage claim with the shipper, sometimes they want to collect the merchandise and packaging for inspection. As soon as we are notified by the shipper whether or not they wish to inspect the package we will let you know. If so, they will make arrangements with you directly to pick up the package(s). As soon as the claim is accepted by the shipper (in most cases this is within 24-48 hours), we will ship out your replacement items.

CANADA SHIPMENTS: Canadian customers-please read this section before placing your order.

**SHIPPING METHOD**: Canadian orders are shipped via International Priority Mail. Please select the "USPS Priority Mail" option when checking out. The shipping amount will be automatically calculated. Extra charges may apply if your items are large in size (swords, etc). Insurance is included in the shipping amount. IMPORTANT: WE MAY BE ABLE TO SHIP YOUR ORDER FOR LESS THAN THE PRICE YOU RECEIVE AT CHECK OUT. FOR EXAMPLE, 1-4 SMALL POCKET KNIVES WILL SHIP IN A SMALL FLAT RATE BOX FOR ONLY $10.95+ INSURANCE. WE HAVE ACCESS TO OTHER LARGER FLAT RATE BOXES AS WELL. IF WE ARE ABLE TO SHIP FOR LESS WE WILL REFUND THE EXCESS YOU PAID BACK TO YOUR PAYPAL ACCOUNT.

**CUSTOMS, ETC** Some of the items we sell may not be allowed into Canada. It is your responsibility to know the laws of your area before placing an order. We are not responsible for any items that do not clear Canadian customs. Of course, any import duties, etc. levied by Canada are payable by you at time of delivery and are your responsibility as well.

INTERNATIONAL SHIPMENTS (Outside U.S.A. & Canada): Customers in the U.S.A., its possessions and territiores, and Canada may order from the website and check out in the usual way. Customers in other countries must use this procedure:

-Email a list of the items and quantities you want to order, along with your shipping address. We will then calculate the total including shipping and notify you of the total. All new international customers must pay via international money order drawn in USD$. When we receive the money order, your order will be shipped out. After becoming an established customer, we will then accept credit cards for your orders.

-Shipment of international orders is by Global Priority Mail.

-All customs duties are the responsibility of the customer. Also, customs regulations vary by country. Please make sure that the items you are ordering are legal to own in your country. We are not responsible for, and no refunds will be given, for items that do not clear your country's customs.

Due to our rock-bottom wholesale prices we are not able to offer free shipping or other gimmicks of that sort. When an online merchant offers you free shipping you better believe you are paying for it built into the cost of the merchandise you are purchasing!
