What Are Your Delivery Times?
DOMESTIC
Delivery times generally vary depending on which UPS shipping zone you reside in. We ship from Pennsylvania, and average delivery times are as follows, but please realize these are indicators and averages, and will vary with the time of year; and they are no guarantee or assurance that your particular package will arrive at a particular time. If you require precise delivery, use the expedited shipping options (3rd day, 2nd day, Next Day):
Unfortunately, WE CAN NOT GUARANTEE ANY DELIVERY TIMES UNLESS USING EXPEDITED SHIPPING (3RD DAY, 2ND DAY, NEXT DAY). This is because we are dependent on outside delivery agents such as UPS, who do not guarantee their delivery schedules. Demeter will never be responsible for any time guarantees in shipping, and we cannot and will not be responsible for any inconvenience or any loss, penalty, or extra charge incurred by our customers should any delivery take longer than anticipated. Packages that have tracking numbers but have not been received, will be the customer’s responsibility to contact the shipping company and follow their instructions before claims are filed and a reshipment is placed. That being said, we strive to provide accurate lead times and timely updates should any lead time estimate change. We VALUE our customers, APPRECIATE their business, and will do EVERYTHING IN OUT POWER TO SERVE YOU WELL.
We mainly will ship UPS, but sometimes orders are shipped using USPS, as in the case that you are shipping to an APO. We cannot ship to post office box addresses.
