FAQ
What form of payment do you accept?
We happily accept Visa, Mastercard, American Express and Paypal.
Our shopping site uses Paypal, a global, trusted source for online payments which allows you to pay with either your Paypal account or with one of the three major credit cards we accept. Paypal uses SSL (Secure Socket Layer) encryption when transmitting certain information, such as financial services or payment information. An icon resembling a padlock is displayed on the bottom of most browsers' windows during SSL transactions that involve credit cards and other forms of payment.
When will my order ship?
Orders will ship 24 - 72 hours after they are received. For express shipping please contact the studio. We can be reached Monday through Friday 9AM - 5PM at: studio@uusi.us
What form of shipping do you use?
All domestic ship via UPS Ground. We also offer UPS Expedited, but this cost varies depending on your location. All domestic orders over $75 ship for Free via UPS Ground. International order shipping fees are calculated by the carrier chosen at check out and shipped via First Class International Mail. If choosing USPS as your shipper for an international order, we highly recommend picking up the Route Insurance at checkout. This insurance generally adds .98 to an order. International orders shipped without this insurance vis USPS are shipped at the customer's risk. UPS is also available for international orders, but again, this price varies depending on your location.*International Buyers, please note: If you choose UPS as your shipper, they often charge a "handling" fee on top of Custom/Duty fees. This fee varies from country to country, but it is an added fee that we have no control over and cannot predict what it may be.
Do you ship internationally?
Yes! Please note that when ordering from us, the recipient is the importer of record and must comply with all laws and regulations of the destination country. Orders shipped to countries outside the United States may be subject to import taxes, customs duties, and fees levied by the destination country. The recipient must also bear additional charges for customs clearance. We do not have control over these charges and cannot predict what they may be.
Please note: Orders refused by customer at the point of delivery will be considered abandoned. No refund is possible for refusing to pay on custom/duty/handling fees.
US and International Law requires us to list the full retail value of items ordered, and we cannot send any package as a "gift." On occasion, customs agents may open/inspect or delay delivery. Please get in touch with your local customs office for more information on customs fees and procedures.
International orders that ship via First Class Mail will receive tracking, but once it leaves the US, tracking may not be required by the destination country. Thus, if there is a problem, there is only a guarantee of recovering or replacing your package if you have purchased Route Protection shipping insurance. If you purchase Route Protection shipping insurance, your purchase is completely covered if lost, stolen, or damaged from shipping. Route Insurance only covers your purchase for 30 days, so if you are still waiting to receive your package within two weeks of ordering, Route requests you contact them so they can begin an investigation and/or handle reimbursement or replacement.
