Please read it carefully to ensure that you are fully informed about our shipping process.

1. Shipping Methods and Costs

We offer a range of shipping options to suit your needs. Shipping costs are calculated at checkout based on the destination, size, and weight of your order. Available shipping methods include:

  • Standard Shipping: Our most affordable shipping option, typically taking 5-7 business days for delivery within the United States.
  • Expedited Shipping: Faster delivery, typically arriving in 2-3 business days.
  • Overnight Shipping: For urgent orders, we offer next-day delivery. Orders must be placed before 12 PM (Eastern Time) to qualify for overnight shipping.
  • International Shipping: We offer shipping to a wide range of international destinations. Delivery times and costs for international orders depend on the destination country and the shipping method selected.

Shipping rates are calculated during the checkout process, and any additional fees, such as duties or taxes, will be displayed before payment. Please note that international orders may be subject to import duties and taxes, which are the responsibility of the customer.

2. Order Processing Time

Once an order is placed, it typically takes 1-3 business days for processing before it is shipped. We aim to dispatch orders as quickly as possible. Orders placed on weekends or public holidays will be processed on the next business day.

Please note that certain items, such as back-ordered or pre-order products, may require additional processing time. If this applies to your order, you will be notified as soon as possible with an estimated shipping date.

3. Shipping Time Estimates

Shipping times may vary based on your location, the shipping method selected, and external factors like weather conditions or holidays. The following are approximate delivery windows:

  • Domestic Orders (within the U.S.):

    • Standard Shipping: 5-7 business days
    • Expedited Shipping: 2-3 business days
    • Overnight Shipping: Next business day (if placed before 12 PM ET)
  • International Orders:

    • Delivery times vary by destination country and shipping method selected. Typically, international orders take between 7-21 business days, depending on customs processing and shipping carrier availability.

Please be aware that shipping carriers such as USPS, FedEx, and UPS may experience delays, especially during peak seasons, and these delays are beyond our control.

4. Shipping Destinations

We ship to the following locations:

  • Domestic Shipping: We offer shipping across the United States, including Alaska, Hawaii, and U.S. Territories.
  • International Shipping: We ship to many countries worldwide. Available international destinations will be listed at checkout. International customers are responsible for any customs duties, taxes, and other import fees applicable in their country.

For international orders, please note that shipping costs do not include duties or taxes, which may be assessed by customs authorities in your country. These charges are your responsibility and will be billed separately by the customs agency or carrier.

5. Tracking Your Order

Once your order is shipped, you will receive a confirmation email with tracking details. You can track the progress of your shipment using the tracking number provided by the carrier. If you experience any issues with tracking or delivery, please contact our customer support team for assistance.

If you have not received a tracking email or if the information is incorrect, please check your spam folder or contact us directly to confirm the status of your shipment.

6. Shipping Address

It is your responsibility to provide an accurate and complete shipping address at the time of checkout. Please double-check the address details before completing your order to ensure the package is delivered correctly and promptly. Goocheap is not responsible for lost or delayed packages due to incorrect or incomplete address information provided by the customer.

If you notice an error with your shipping address after placing your order, please contact us immediately at [email protected] or call us at (828) 879-4868. We will make every effort to correct the address before the package is shipped, but changes cannot be guaranteed once the order is processed.

7. Shipping Delays

While we strive to meet our estimated shipping timelines, there may be occasional delays due to factors beyond our control, such as weather conditions, holidays, customs processing for international shipments, or high demand during peak seasons.

If your shipment is delayed, we will notify you as soon as we are made aware of the situation. We do not offer compensation for delays caused by shipping carriers, but we will work closely with the carrier to ensure your package is delivered as soon as possible.

8. Lost or Damaged Packages

If your order arrives damaged or is lost in transit, please contact our customer support team immediately at [email protected]. We will work with the shipping carrier to resolve the issue and arrange for a replacement or refund, depending on the circumstances.

For damaged goods, please retain the packaging and take photos of the damage to help us process your claim with the carrier. In the case of lost packages, we will initiate an investigation with the carrier and keep you informed of the progress.

9. Returns and Exchanges

If you are not satisfied with your purchase and would like to initiate a return or exchange, please refer to our Return and Refund Policy. Returns must be initiated within 30 days from the date of delivery. Customers are responsible for return shipping costs unless the return is due to an error on our part or a defective product.

For exchanges, please contact us as soon as possible, and we will assist you in returning the original item and placing a new order.
