SHIPPING RATES (SHIPPING PRICES)
PLEASE NOTE our BUDGET FLAT SHIPPING RATE in the table below. This rate is good in the U.S., and can be used for weights under 13 ounces and for non-breakable items, since they will be shipped in a bubble envelope. Allow 5 to 7 days for delivery. This lower rate can also be used to CANADA, but please be aware, it will probably delay arrival time.
Use Priority Mail for standard shipping in the US and for all shipping to Canada. Use the Express Mail option for Overnight or 2nd Day in the US. (2nd Day depends on your Zip Code and the time of day you order. It is not a separate option, and the rate is the same.) Overnight shipments must leave our premises by 12 noon Pacific Time, Monday through Friday. If an overnight order is placed after 11:30 a.m., it must be sent 2nd Day. (If placed later in the day on Friday, it may arrive on Tuesday.) If you NEED IT OVERNIGHT outside of this time frame, it can be done, but the cost via UPS starts at about $60.00 for a small package. We rarely use UPS or FedEx. They are expensive and complicated for our location compared to U.S. mail.
Your shipping options and rates will appear as a drop-down in the shopping cart. You can also refer to the chart below.
We are NOT responsible for any customs duties that may be charged, nor do we know if they will be charged or how much they might be. Customs duties are charged by the country where the order is received, and are the sole responsibility of the customer.

Jewelry-only orders ship anywhere for just $5.00.
There is a JEWELRY ONLY option in our shopping cart.
If you order jewelry and a few other items, and the jewelry value raises the shipping amount higher than a typical shipping charge for your items, you may be eligible for reduced shipping. Our cart is programmed on a value-based system. Most of the time it works out about right, but there may be exceptions such as an order with high-value jewelry and low weight.
We now have options in our shopping cart for GLOBAL PRIORITY MAIL (about 6-10 days) overseas, and also GLOBAL EXPRESS (5 days). If you need to know the cost in advance (until we update our shipping chart above), call us toll free at (888) 325-3179 or send e-mail.
If you have questions, please ask!

ORDERING — YOUR INFORMATION IS SAFE WITH US
To order by credit or debit card: Use the "Order" buttons on the menu pages or the individual page for each item, and proceed to check-out when you're finished. Your total will be approved automatically, but it will not be processed until we send it through manually. You will have to re-enter your credit card number for each new order. With our secure server (see SECURE CHECKOUT INFORMATION above), we only have access to the last 4 digits of your card number, and we do not keep it on file for future orders.HOW WE SHIP
Non-US Credit Cards: We are happy to accept your non-US credit or debit card.
To order by phone: Call (503) 325-3179 or Toll Free (888) 325-3179. Our cell phone can be used in emergencies: (503) 338-8646.
To order using PayPal: Use the "Order" buttons on the item pages. Our software will not complete the order without a valid credit card. When you reach this stage, there are several ways to finish your order. You can copy the shopping cart page and paste it into e-mail to us, or you can e-mail the order form from the web page. (Send to tapir@tapirback.com.) We will then verify that we have everything in stock and calculate your shipping cost. We will give you the total and you can send the money by PayPal. We will then ship your order.
To order by FAX: Use "Order" buttons on the item pages, print form and fax to: (503) 325-9568. This is a U.S. phone number.
Using Checks and Money Orders - PLEASE ASK! WE HAVE A NEW BANK WITH NEW CAPABILITIES AND NEW FEES.
Tapir Preservation Fund
PO Box 118
Astoria, OR 97103 USA
To order by check or money order: use the "Order" buttons on the item pages as if you were ordering by credit card. NOTE: Our software will not complete the order without a valid credit card. When you reach this stage, there are several ways to finish your order. You can copy the shopping cart page and paste it into e-mail to us, or you can e-mail it from the web page. We will then verify that we have everything in stock and calculate your shipping cost. You can mail us a check or money order in your own currency made out to the Tapir Preservation Fund.
Non-US checks are welcome - please read: There is no additional charge for foreign checks in your own currency. Just click on the currency converter linked above for the equivalent in U.S. Dollars, and write a personal check or send a money order for that amount in your own currency. This is important because our bank will process it for a very small fee which we will absorb. If a bank outside the U.S. sends us a check in U.S. dollars, a large fee will be charged to us by your bank. An exception is if your bank gets a check for you drawn on a U.S. bank such as Chase Manhattan. This will work, but it's not necessary.
If you see your country listed below, please read about our bank's policies.
If paying by check:
Israel: Our bank may require a high minimum. Please ask.
Australia: Please do not include the words "Not negotiable" or we can't cash it.
Everyone: Please be aware that if a foreign check bounces, the fee will be high - probably at least $30.00 U.S.
Items may be shipped as soon as we receive your check or money order, or we may hold them at our discretion until your check clears.
Western Union: While this payment option can be expensive for you, it is fast and safe, and we can ship immediately. It can also be useful for customers who have no checking account or credit card. If you use this method, we recommend taking cash to a Western Union office in your area. If you charge it to your credit card, you will probably be billed at the cash advance rate as well as paying other credit card fees.

We usually ship within one to three days of receiving your order. The expected TRANSIT TIME for Priority Mail is 2-3 days (depending on your zip code). That does not include processing your order. Our normal turn-around time is fast, and there is no extra cost for our quick service. We ship by US Post Office, and have found their services to be fast and reliable in the US and to most other countries.
Typical international shipments, which take 4-10 days by air, are simple when sent via US Postal Service.
US POSTAL SERVICE: We ship Priority Mail and Express Mail (Overnight or 2nd Day) in the US and Airmail for Canada, Mexico and all other non-US countries. For fast shipping outside the US by the US Postal Service, ask us about Global Priority Mail (3-5 days) or Global Express (2-3 days). Global Priority may be only a few dollars more than regular airmail, but Global Express is about double. Let us know if you want special shipping.
UPS: We do not ship with UPS.
FedEX: Please call the number above for our current policy on FedEx.
Except as otherwise noted, we charge the shipping rates listed in the chart below.

RETURN POLICY
We find that 99.9% of our customers are happy with the items they receive. We do our best to provide large images and explanations that let you be sure of what you're getting before you order. In addition, we're happy to answer questions, and you'll find an e-mail link at the bottom of each page. However, if you receive a defective item, or are simply not happy with your purchase, we will refund your purchase price when you return the item. If the item is defective, we'll cover the cost of shipping. If you just don't want it, you will have to absorb the shipping and return shipping costs. Once again, if you have questions, please ask! You can also call us at (503) 325-3179 or (503) 338-8646.
