SHIPPING & HANDLING POLICYBowling Delights strives to
provide a ??Delightful?? shopping experience for our customers. We believe in providing clear policy
guidelines so that we can set clear expectations for our customers, and hold
ourselves accountable to the ??Delights?? Promise??. Please review the information below related
to our Shipping Policy.
Shipping
& Handling Options
Most
approved* orders are shipped within one business day, unless noted otherwise in
the policy. Orders received after 12
p.m. (Noon) EST on weekdays (Monday through Friday), or on weekends, or during
government and select religious holidays will be processed and shipped the next
business day.
Most orders are shipped from
our warehouse in New Jersey
using standard (ground) shipping.
Customers have an option to receive their orders via expedited shipping
method by selecting the option during the check out process. The expedited shipping options available are
3-day, 2-day, and overnight delivery.
The
following restrictions apply to our standard shipping:
?? Most of our shipments require a
physical address as they are delivered by UPS.
APO/FPO and PO Box addresses will be sent via USPS option as expedited
shipping is not available for such addresses.
Since some rural route addresses are charged extra fees by the carriers,
the customer will be notified if their shipping address is in this zone, and
the total shipping and handling charges that will be incurred before the order
is processed. ?? BowlingDelights.com will make
every effort to keep our ??Delights?? Promise?? for shipping customer orders by
the promised delivery date. However, it
will not be responsible for delays resulting from inclement weather,
operational/mechanical failures by the delivery service, union strikes, and
other unpreventable delays out of the control of BowlingDelights.com.
* Orders are approved once
payment has been received and all shipping and billing information has been
verified. This process is usually automatic, but under extenuating circumstances
may take up to two business days. BowlingDelights.com has the right to
cancel any order at its discretion.
Shipping Method
In order to fulfill the ??Delights?? Promise??, we use a variety of
carriers in order to provide the best shipping rates and delivery times for our
customers. These include:
?? USPS
- mostly used for standard orders under $25 dollars.
?? UPS
?? preferred and used most often. For shipping to a PO Box
address, please provide a physical address in case the package can only be
delivered via UPS.
?? FedEx
- alternate method to UPS and used for selected shipping locations.
