Ordering, Shipping, and Delivery Policy

COVID 19 Shipping Policy

Due to the Corona Virus, some items will take longer than usual to ship. This can range from 7-30 days. Manufacturerers and vendors are behind in prodcution and are finding it difficult to meet the demand. If you do not cancel your order within 24 hours of placing your order, you will have to wait until the order is fulfilled. Additionally, we have taken extra steps to follow COVID protocol, and as a result we are not accepting any walk in customers. All sales are final after 24 hours after the order has been placed. Once your package has received a tracking number and has been shipped, you are responsible to track the status of your order.

Shipments that weigh over the 2 lbs limit for USPS Standard, Priority, and Express shipping rates posted above may incur additional shipping charges, as charged by the Post Office or other shipping services we may use. You will be contacted regarding any additional shipping charges that may be owed before your order is shipped.

NOTE: Certain products do not qualify for standard shipping due to the extra heavy weight and/or oversized dimensions of the item. These products include: gallon sizes of products, makeup cases, makeup chairs, makeup stations, Grab and Go Beauty Makeup Kits, heavy airbrush compressor systems, Casualty Simulation Moulage Makeup Kits etc.

Such products have specific references to the additional charges for shipping listed in their details description so please be aware of that before you place an order. There is no shipping charged for local pick up on these items, however a flat rate fee for shipment to other states within the continental US is indicated in the description. Please note most of these products will be shipped by UPS or FedEx Ground Service ONLY, unless a faster class of service is requested. Other expedited delivery services are available to ship your order (e.g. FedEx or UPS) by special request and pre-paid.

If you have your own shipping account with Fedex or UPS, you can request us to ship on your account. Please note that ONLY non-flammable/non-hazmat items can ship by expedited air transport. Hazmat product must be sent by ground.z

If you have not changed your address to the new shipping address in your PayPal account, then we cannot ship to the new address until your PayPal account is updated to show this new address. NO EXCEPTIONS!

We no longer ship First Class to Canada, due to the increasing amounts of orders that were being lost by the Canadian Postal Service.

International Express Shipping is a more secure delivery through USPS for International destinations, and it is also insured.
