Shipping & Payment

All products are shipped within 7 business days from the time an order is placed on our web site. The majority of orders ship within 3-5 business days. You will have the option of choosing Standard Shipping, UPS, USPS, or FedEx as your shipment carrier. Orders that have chosen UPS 3 Day Select, 2 Day Air, 2 Day Air AM, Next Day Air, Next Day Air Saver, Next Day Air Early AM, USPS Express Mail, FedEx 2Day, FedEx Priority Overnight, or FedEx First Overnight as their shipping method, will ship within 1-3 business days from the time we receive the order and once we receive the credit card authorization form back from you. When a single order contains multiple items, the item with the longest estimated ship time will impact time of shipment. Multiple items in a single order may ship in separate boxes.

Note that shipping time estimates do not include transit times. Your order transit time is determined by the shipping method you specify during checkout (UPS Ground, UPS 2 Day, UPS 3 Day, USPS Express, FedEx Overnight, etc) and by the distance between your address and our order fulfillment centers. For international orders, your item/items may be delayed because of customs and transit. SwordsSwords are not responsible for any guaranteed transit time with any shipping carrier except for expedited orders.


Most orders ship from our main fulfillment center:
SwordsSwords
164 International Pkwy

There are some situations where we will ship your order, in full or in part, from a secondary fulfillment center, and this may include Special Order Brand items, such as: Boker, Cold Steel, CAS Hanwei, Columbia River, Gerber, Kershaw, Schrade, Smith & Wesson, SOG, and United Cutlery. Your entire order will most often ship from our main center; however, should a portion of your order be shipped separately, you will be notified with multiple tracking numbers and information. Special Order items may take an additional 1-10 business days to ship. In some cases, we may indicate that an item is a special order item with a designation similar to the following: Status: Ships in 5-10 Days. SwordsSwords.com provides utmost care to packaging and shipping orders using the most effective method possible.

SwordsSwords ships to the address provided by the customer during checkout! All customers placing an order with SwordsSwords are required to enter their official shipping and billing address, in the correct and legal format, in it's entirety. It is the customers responsibility to ensure their order is placed with the correct address specified clearly, beyond reasonable doubt.

Shipping carriers (such as UPS and FedEx) will charge an address correction fee if a shipment is sent and the address is corrected during processing, transit, shipping, and delivery. SwordsSwords is not liable or responsible for any customer entering address information that receives an address correction. Incomplete address information, or incorrect address information will result in delay/cancellation of order processing, and an address correction fee. SwordsSwords will contact the customer (by phone or email) when an address correction fee is applied to a shipment. The cost of the address correction fee is charged to the customer before or after notification, and the customer is allowed 1-5 business days to respond. All address correction fee's are determined by the shipping carrier (such as UPS, FedEx, etc), not by SwordsSwords. On average, an address correction fee charge is approximately $12.00 (Twelve Dollars), however, the shipping service may incur a different fee for an address correction.

USPS (United States Postal Service) shipments that are not deliverable to the address provided by the customer are considered “Undeliverable”, and returned to the sender. If a customer enters incorrect or incomplete address information and the order ships via USPS, the shipment is considered Undeliverable and will be returned to SwordsSwords fulfillment center. Undeliverable shipments can be delayed approximately 5-10 business days, but some delays can take 1-6 weeks. After SwordsSwords receives back an Undeliverable shipment, we will contact the customer and re-ship the order as soon as reasonably possible. Customers are responsible for re-shipment costs, and SwordsSwords will contact customers via phone or email.

In other words, SwordsSwords cannot prevent a customer from submitting the wrong address information during checkout. This policy is enforced on everyone who buys from www.SwordsSwords.com.

When shipping internationally with USPS, international Tracking and Delivery Confirmation is not available on all types of parcels. Tracking is not possible for Priority Mail International Flat Rate Envelopes, Priority Mail International Small Flat Rate Boxes, and First Class parcels.

Tracking is not available on international parcels because once the package leaves the US Postal Service and enters the Postal Service outside of the United States, it becomes the "property" of that country's postal system. Mail is only delivered internationally thru an agreement set up between governments. Priority Mail International Flat Rate Envelopes and Small Flat Rate Boxes do not include indemnity coverage, are not insurable, and do not come with free tracking, and not all countries can (or will) provide tracking on packages regardless of the packages sent destination, service, content, or other details.

It is recommended that all International customers understand their countries custom's rules and exceptions before placing an order online.
