SHIPPING

Shipping in the cart is calculated for deliveries to domestic contiguous U.S. destinations. Orders may be shipped using whatever shipping courier and method we choose depending on variables like transit time, reliability, pick up times, cost, package contents, dependability, etc. and shipping prices may include handling fees to cover costs incurred by us (where applicable) which may include credit card fees, wire fees, materials, labor, mileage, minimum order fees, rush fees, labor costs, etc. Due to the extra time and risk involved, there will be a $10 rush fee added for all orders requiring a guaranteed delivery date in less than one week from the time the order is finalized. While we do our best to get all orders out as soon as possible, Standard Delivery orders usually ship within 3 business days, and Expedited Delivery orders usually ship within 1 to 2 business days. For rates on 1, 2 or 3 Day guaranteed delivery options, please call us at 970.674.3387 for quotes. If an order shipped via guaranteed delivery does not reach you by the guaranteed time as specified by the delivery service (through no fault of yours or weekends, holidays, natural disasters, or other reason noted on the carriers' terms), then we will reimburse you for the difference between that shipping rate and the rate for the actual shipping received once the delivery company has researched the shipment and approved reimbursement. Rush orders received after noon (Mountain Time Zone) may not ship the same day.

Orders during busy season (August through October, and Thanksgiving through Christmas) cannot always ship the same day due to the increased volume of rush orders. After December 9th, all deliveries' transit times may be slower than the delivery times listed above due to couriers' larger workloads. For example, after December 9th Expedited Delivery transit time may be longer than the advertised 5 weekdays and FedEx and UPS 1, 2, 3 Day deliveries may no longer be guaranteed. Please call us if you have questions on whether a delivery method will get to you by your deadline, or specify your deadline with your order, so we can make sure you choose a delivery that should reach you in time. Delivery times are for delivery transit time only and do not include weekends, holidays, processing time, manufacturing/production time, and/or items that may be out of stock. We will notify you within that delivery time if an out of stock product may delay your transit time.

DELIVERY DEADLINES

We jump over hurdles to get orders to our customers by their deadlines, and we have an awesome track record! We deal with professional sports teams, Hollywood movie studios, large school districts, and other individuals and organizations who always need everything YESTERDAY! So we work hard to make the impossible possible. When ordering "guaranteed" delivery services, it is our commitment to make every effort get that order to you within the timeframe of the guaranteed delivery method you ordered. If you need your order in less than 6 weekdays, follow these instructions (also shown at checkout for your convenience). Note the following three items in the "Order Comments" box (in Checkout Step 3 of 3):

1. The date needed. In order to ship the same day, transit times are based on the order being received by 11:00 a.m. MST, and do not include holidays, weekends, nor production time on custom or made-to-order products.
2. Time needed. If no time is listed, it will be assumed that the end of that deadline date is acceptable.
3. Specify that you approve for us to ship at any cost to get the order to you by your stated deadline, and we will charge your card the additional cost for the least expensive shipping method guaranteed to arrive by your specified deadline. We cannot legally charge additional charges to your card without this written approval. Since we cannot know your shipping prices until the order has been packed for shipment, our packing department is unable to contact customer requests to call them with shipping options or quotes. Orders that mention a an upgraded Delivery Method or a deadline that is sooner than the transit time for your order's Delivery Method without explicitly approving additional charges at all costs will be processed shipping via the fastest delivery method that the shipping and handling fee you paid (or explicitly approved) will cover.

If you followed the steps above, your card will be charged separately from the original cart order's charge for the cheapest shipping method that is guaranteed to reach you within your designated date and time. Orders that mention a an upgraded Delivery Method or a deadline that is sooner than the transit time for your order's Delivery Method without explicitly approving additional charges at any cost (as specified in Step 3 above) will be processed shipping via the fastest delivery method that the shipping and handling fee you paid or approved will cover. Due to the short timeframe required for processing orders with tight deadlines, there can be no cancellations on orders that upgrade to faster Delivery Methods. Please note that guaranteed shipping methods such as 1, 2 and 3 Day deliveries can be extremely expensive. By clicking the SUBMIT ORDER button, you agree to these terms.

Please also note that during our busiest season, Standard Delivery and First Class Mail orders may not ship for several days due to the significantly higher volume of orders (so the delivery transit times listed are in addition to the order processing time). Please remember that though delivery companies guarantee certain deliveries, none of the delivery companies have a 100% track record for being on time. Therefore we suggest that customers try to get their packages at least one business day early just in case they fall in that 0.1% group that does not get their package on the courier's guaranteed date.

Due to our credit card merchant's policy, if we are unable to reach you on orders over $100, we reserve the right to ship the order to the billing address with signature required.

Special Order, Custom and Imprinted Orders: Shipping delivery times do NOT include production times on special order, custom, or imprinted items. Ordering faster shipping only changes shipping time, not production time.

Misc: Leslie's Best, Inc. is not responsible for delays in production and shipping times that are beyond our control. Ship dates may be delayed on imprinted items if artwork is not received with order or if it requires clean up by the art department. This includes but is not limited to holidays, acts of terrorism, natural disasters, delivery company delays, lost or stolen shipments, etc. We try our best to communicate potential delays whenever possible. We ship FOB Point of Origin, so the customer takes title once the goods leave our docks. We will email tracking numbers and list them in the cart once the order has shipped the the status is marked, "Complete." Not all Standard Delivery and First Class Mail orders will receive tracking numbers. Once the package leaves our warehouse and is picked up by the first courier (i.e. shipping company like FedEx, UPS, USPS, etc.), customer is responsible for the goods (including tracking the package and monitoring the shipment's progress). If the tracking shows the package was delivered and you feel you have not received it, please check if the tracking shows where the package was left (i.e. by the back door). Couriers tend to leave the package out of plain sight in order to avoid theft, so check around to see if it may be hidden in a bush or other area. If you are unable to locate the package or you have any questions about your delivery, please contact the shipping company so they may assist you in locating your package. While we are happy to assist you, it tends to be more efficient to contact the courier directly.

Rush Seasons: Due to the significant increase in the volume of orders (especially rush orders) during our rush season, while we try our best to get orders out the same day, we cannot guarantee rush orders will ship the same day during the time frames below. Please allow extra time for processing of orders during rush seasons.

• August 15th - October 31st
• December 9th - December 23rd

HOLIDAY SHIPPING NOTE: Expedited deliveries' transit times after December 9th may be slower than the delivery times listed above due to the larger shipping volumes. For example, after December 9th Priority Delivery is not averaging 2-4 weekdays and FedEx and UPS 1, 2, 3 Day deliveries may no longer be guaranteed for 1, 2, 3 weekdays. Please call us if you have questions on whether a delivery method will get to you by your deadline so we can make sure you choose a delivery that is guaranteed to reach you in time (this is suggested for any time of the year, but especially so for the holiday shipping season).
