Whimsy Stamps Shipping Policy:

USPS provides the majority of our shipping needs, we use Ground Advantage (previous called First Class) and Priority mail. We may sometimes use UPS when rates and destination allow. Shipping charges are applied to each order and those charges are based on order total and final destination of each order. All USA and most international orders are assigned a tracking number provided by the USPS/UPS and these numbers can be tracked through the USPS at www.usps.com or UPS at www.ups.com.

Whimsy Stamps is not responsible for any parcels that are lost or damaged once the parcel has left our warehouse. Please contact your local Postal Service Office to help with recovering lost or damaged packages. Every country has a customs department which reserves the right to inspect imported parcels. These inspections, which are out of our control, could delay the transit time of your order. In addition, we cannot guarantee that tracking information will be updated regularly on the USPS or UPS websites.

International shipments may be subject to VAT and/or other fees and taxes. Unless specifically collected during the checkout process, Whimsy Stamps is not responsible for these fees. If you have any questions about taxes, you should consult your local customs office prior to placing your order. Whimsy Stamps cannot advise customers about VAT and/or other tax requirements.

Which carrier(s) do you use for shipping services?
We currently use the United States Postal Service as well as UPS for all shipping needs. We use First Class, Priority, and Priority Flat Rate Mail with the USPS and ground or express services with UPS. Shipping and Handling charges are applied to each order and include delivery confirmation/tracking (US orders and some international destinations). Shipping charges are based on the order total and destination of each order. Rates are calculated using current carrier regulations and pricing.

Do you ship internationally?
Yes, we do! We currently ship to many international destinations. Shipping and handling charges are for postage ONLY. If orders are under the country threshold amount, EU and UK VAT taxes are collected at checkout. If you pay VAT at checkout and your country charges you again at the border, please reach out to us. Our tax ID numbers are added to all customs labels and the customs authorities should only be collecting VAT on parcel that did not pay at checkout.

Please Note: Whimsy Stamps is not responsible for any customs duties and/or taxes due on packages sent to international addresses. We cannot advise customers on these fees as they are set by each individual country. Please consult your local shipping offices if you have questions regarding customs duties and taxes.

All orders are processed and shipped Monday through Friday, except during United States holidays. We do our very best to process all orders within 24 to 48 hours of receipt of payment. Whimsy Stamps is not responsible for carrier delivery delays or customs processing in the destination country.
