Shipping Policy

Shipping

Auntie's Beads Direct ships to the U.S., Canada, and a number of other countries. We offer low-cost, flat rate shipping options for our U.S. customers, and free shipping above a certain order size (your cart tally will let you know how much you need to order to get free shipping).   Please read the important information below on our shipping schedule so there are no misunderstandings.

  • Orders from $0.01 to $49.99:
    • Standard Shipping (2 to 5 business days): $4.25

International Shipping Options:

  • USPS First Class International, actual cost based on weight

Note that we have very little control over the cost of international shipments and make every effort to charge only actual costs.  We cannot be liable for import duties or taxes, and we cannot declare the value of your order to be lower than it is. 

Product Availability and Shipping Schedule:

Most orders ship within 1 - 3 business days, but if a backordered item is in transit we may hold your order and ship all items together in up to 5 business days from order placement. If any items will take longer than that to ship, we will notify you and you can either cancel the item(s) or keep them backordered.
