(1) Order Processing (Handling Time)
Processing time is the time we need to verify payment, pick items, quality-check, pack, and hand off the parcel to the carrier. Processing begins after successful payment authorization.
- Standard processing: 1-3 business days.
- Peak periods (promotions/holidays): 3-7 business days.
- Backorder / pre-order items: lead time is shown on the product page or confirmed by support.
(2) Shipping Destinations
We ship internationally where carrier routes and local regulations allow. If a destination is not available at checkout, we may be unable to ship there due to restrictions, remote-area limitations, sanctions, or safety events.
(3) Estimated Delivery Times
Transit time starts after carrier pickup. Delivery dates are estimates and not guarantees.
| Method | Transit (Estimate) | Best for |
|---|---|---|
| Standard International | 7-20 business days | Most destinations and best value |
| Expedited | 5-12 business days | Faster delivery where available |
| Express | 3-8 business days | Urgent orders; may require signature |
(4) Shipping Costs
Shipping fees are calculated at checkout based on destination, selected method, package weight, and volumetric size. Large items (e.g., 40-00 quart storage bins, collapsible crates, multi-pack totes) can trigger volumetric weight pricing.
- Promotions: Free shipping (if offered) and thresholds are shown at checkout.
- Remote areas: Some carriers charge a remote-area surcharge; we may contact you if an adjustment is required.
(5) Tracking
When your order ships, we email a shipping confirmation with tracking information. Tracking can take 24-72 hours to show movement after label creation.
- Split shipments: If your order ships in multiple parcels, each parcel has its own tracking number.
- Delivered but not received: Contact us promptly; we may ask for a safe-place check or carrier investigation.
(6) Packaging Standards (Category-Specific)
We pack products based on material type to reduce damage and loss risk:
- Reusable storage bags: packed to keep items clean; avoid opening sealed retail packaging until you confirm you will keep the item.
- Vacuum storage bags: valves and pump accessories are secured to prevent loss; multi-size packs may ship with internal separators.
- Hard plastic bins/boxes: corner protection and carton reinforcement where needed to reduce cracking in transit.
- Paper/glassine bags: packed to avoid bending/crushing; minor compression during transport may occur.
- Mesh storage bags: packed to avoid snagging; minor weave variation is normal.
