Terms of Service and Important Information

We ship using USPS and UPS.

Please know that we will always ship your package using the most economical method that we can find for you, unless you have requested otherwise. Because of this your final shipping charges may not be the same as shown in the shopping cart.

Sadly, we cannot compete with the shopping giants like Amazon and offer free shipping. However we do promise to make every effort to ship your packages as economically as possible. Sometimes we can ship your package for less than estimated by USPS and when this happens we pass that savings back to our customers. We do not profit from shipping.

USPS Flat Rate Box options are offered, however, please choose USPS Flat Rate boxes carefully. These are offered as a cost saving alternative if you are certain that your order will fit into that box and it shows to be more economical than other shipping options. Be sure that your order will fit into the flat rate box size that you chose.
Important: Flat Rate box prices will not be honored if your order cannot fit into the Flat Rate Box that you chose.

We have added the option to ship the new First Class Shipping with USPS. They require that your package be no thicker than 3/4". This means that we cannot use this method for most items. For this reason please choose this option with caution. First Class shipping prices will not be honored if your order does not qualify for this option.
Important: This option does not offer a tracking # and is not insured. We are not responsible for loss or damages incurred when shipping with this method

UPS is not shown as being offered at this time but we do ship UPS if it is more economical or if the customer specifically requests this service. Please be aware that UPS occasionally charges more than USPS to ship to some locations. If you specify UPS only and their charges are more than estimated in the shopping cart we will adjust your shipping costs accordingly.

Unfortunately, we cannot ship to countries that require VAT fees to be collected.

All orders are shipped via the U.S.Postal Service Priority Mail, Ground Advantage, First Class Service or UPS after payment has been received, unless customer requests otherwise. All orders are assigned a tracking # to aid in locating missing packages except those being shipped with USPS First Class.

We are not responsible for any lost, delayed, misdirected or damaged orders incurred during shipping, regardless of how or with whom they are shipped. The shipper is responsible for your package once they take possession of it. Damages and losses do occur occasionally. We will be happy to provide you with your tracking number but please contact the shipper for any problems you may encounter.

Packages shipped via UPS, USPS Priority Mail or USPS Ground Advantage are automatically insured up to $100.00 in value by the shipper

Normal delivery time averages 2 - 7 days to U.S. addresses with either carrier. Shipping times will be delayed during the holiday season when shipping volumes are much higher so order early during these times.

Customer is responsible for all taxes, duties, customs and other costs incurred in shipping to your destination. If you live outside of the U.S. be sure to learn about these charges and which, if any, are applicable to you, before you place your order. Customer will be charged for all taxes, duties, customs and other costs incurred plus 10% handling fee, that get billed back to us because the customer did not pay them.

Be sure to inform BJ's Craft Supplies of any special shipping instructions or if a package can only be delivered through a specific carrier. Customer is responsible for any additional shipping charges incurred as a result of omitting this information.

Customer is responsible for all ancillary shipping charges by the shipper due to incorrect or partial address, incorrect classification, or undeliverable packages.

Please be sure to include your email address with your order if you would like to receive shipping and tracking information on your package.

Special Shipping: We will honor your special shipping requests or instructions. Shipping charges will be based on costs incurred to ship by your instructions. We will also ship by other carriers and services per your arrangements. There is a $4.00 handling charge for these shipping arrangements. Special shipping arrangements and/or handling charges are non-refundable.

The option of using USPS Flat Rate Boxes is offered during check out. We offer these as a way to reduce costs if regular shipping is higher, however, please choose carefully. Your shipping costs will be adjusted to reflect actual costs if you choose a Flat Rate box that is too small for your order.

We have added the option to ship the new First Class Shipping with USPS. They require that your package be no thicker than 3/4". This means that we cannot use this method for most items. For this reason please choose this option with caution. We will be unable to honor your shipping choice if it cannot adhere to First Class rules set by USPS.

We are currently unable to show UPS charges in our shipping options. We will be happy to ship your package through UPS if you prefer. Plese be aware that your shipping charge will be adjusted. Sometimes UPS charges us more than USPS but just as often it may be lower.

Be sure to check your tracking number with the post office to verify delivery.

We will be happy to assist you in the event that this happens to your package. However, please keep in mind that we are not responsible for any lost, delayed, misdirected or damaged packages incurred during shipping, regardless of how or with whom they are shipped. The shipper is responsible for your package once they take possession of it. Damages and losses do occur occasionally. Packages shipped via UPS are automatically insured up to $100.00 in value. Packages shipped via USPS Priority Mail are automatically insured up to $50.00 in value. Packages shipped via USPS using the First Class service are NOT insured. We strongly recommend that you insure your package if the value is over these amounts.

If your package is damaged we encourage you to take pictures of your package before you open it and of the damaged contents after you open your package.

UPS: UPS requires the shipper (us) to file a damage claim. If you receive a damaged package shipped through UPS please save the package and any loose contents and contact us within 5 days of delivery. If you are available when your UPS driver presents a damaged package to you have him fill out a damaged package report or have them sign a hand written note stating that they delivered your package in damaged condition. We will file a claim with UPS for you and reship your package to you. Customer assumes all liabilities for loss if customer does not report the loss or damage to us or UPS within 5 days of receipt of package.
