Shipping Policy

Processing time

The time we need to prepare an order for shipping varies, but it usually takes 1-4 weeks for us to make your order and get it ready for shipping. Ship time is separate. For details, see individual items.

APO/FPO Military Addresses - To our military personnel, we appreciate your service! All shipments to APO/FPO addresses are sent via USPS Priority. Due to military handling time, delivery to some destinations may take up to 21 days.  

We will do our best to meet these shipping estimates, but cannot guarantee them. Actual delivery time will depend on the shipping method you choose. All packages will be sent via USPS or Fedex. 

 

Incorrect address on order

     If you left an incorrect address on order, please contact us within 4 hours placing your order. Once order is processed at our end, it is difficult to pull out a specific order to make changes. We include a note in the order confirmation email to remind our customers to double check shipping address after order is placed.

     We are not able to change address after packages are dropped off to postal office. What happens is if the package is not accepted by the person who lives in the wrong address, it will usually be returned to us. This returning process takes longer time, sometimes can be up to 1-2 months. Once we receive it, we will charge a shipping fee from you to deliver it to an updated address.

    There may be an intercept service offered by postal office to redirect a package to a different address but postal office charges from $30 - $50 and we will collect the fee from you if you decide to go this route.

     If you need them in rush and will not wait for the package with wrong address to return, we charge half of the product price plus full shipping to remake your order and ship asap. We do not refund the original order. Please contact us for this service.

 

International taxes & duties

Your order may be subject to import duties and taxes, which are levied once a shipment reaches your country. The general amount for the duties and taxes fee is about 20% of the dollar amount of the merchandise. However, this is just a general guideline and may vary depending on the country to which the order was shipped. You should contact your customs office for specific amounts and percentages.

Americano Crystals cannot control and is not responsible for any duties/taxes applied to your package. You will be responsible for paying additional charges for customs clearance. Customs policies vary widely from country to country; please contact your local customs office for further information. Note, in rare occasions custom agents may delay delivery of some packages.
