Shipping, Processing, Delivery

Orders ship Monday through Friday. Our customers will receive the order from the date that it is shipped out, not necessarily from the date that it is placed. After your payment is authorized and verified, it can still take up to two days to process your order. This is just an estimate, and doesn't include weekends or holidays. USPS Priority Mail shipping is limited to the 48 contiguous United States, Alaska, Puerto Rico, Guam, Samoa, Palau, Micronesia, and the Mariana Islands.

Utopiat uses UPS for expedited shipping services because of their reputation for speed and reliability. Non-continental U.S. territories cannot be guaranteed next day shipping when selecting the UPS Next Day Air shipping option and instead may receive their orders in two days according to UPS shipping calculations.

Backordered items may take up to three (3) weeks to ship.

 

FREE Shipping

Customers can enjoy FREE USPS First Class Shipping for orders over $75 in the Continental US and for orders over $150 outside the US. Expedited shipping is available for purchase for all orders.

International Shipping

All applicable customs and import duties and fees, taxes and any other charges and fees are the responsibility of the customer (even if you refuse any shipments upon delivery). We ship your package DDU, "duties and taxes unpaid", and we do not collect the VAT, duties and/or taxes and cannot predict what your particular charges may be. If your order does require these additional charges, they must be paid by you in order for your package to clear customs.

Customs authorities require that we state the value of your order directly on your package(s). Customs agents have the right to release or deny release of your package(s), and in rare cases, they may also delay delivery.

International delivery takes an average of 15 business days. We do not offer expedited international shipping.

International orders may incur additional fees depending on your customs office. These fees are your responsibility to pay. Should you reject your package because you do not wish to pay these fees, you will not be refunded If the package is returned to us and you change your mind and wish to have us send the package again, you will need to pay the additional shipping fee to do so.  


Disclaimer:

Utopiat is not responsible for lost or stolen packages. If tracking shows items delivered but you do not find the package, please contact your local USPS office to file a claim. We recommend that you check all areas of your home where the package could have been delivered, as well as with neighbors and household members before contacting your local USPS office or filing a police report.
