DELIVERY TIMES

Delivery times vary depending on what you order and which shipping option you choose. It will also vary depending on the shipping company's current work conditions. As such, the delivery times below are only estimates. They are not hard fast rules or guaranteed times, just the typical minimum amount of time you should wait before becoming concerned about your order.

REGULAR USA SHIPPING OPTION

For Kits, In-Stock Supplies, & Production List items: Please allow up to 4-6 weeks for Delivery with the regular shipping option, especially if using snailmail to place the order. Usually, orders are shipped faster than that, but I'm a stay-at-home mom and this is a cottage industry. This delivery schedule allows me to work around personal obligations and the unexpected disaster. If you have to have faster service, email me for availability/cost. If you choose the cheaper Regular USA Shipping Option, please be prepared to give me the full 4-6 weeks as described above.

Note: If your order contains any custom tack, delivery of your entire order may be delayed until the custom tack is completed. If you request two shipments, you will need to pay two shipping fees.

For Special Order Colors of Kangaroo Leather Lace Full Spools, for current delivery estimates.

IMPORTANT NOTICE REGARDING CUSTOM TACK AVAILABILITY

All my tack is hand-made. Unless I have something pre-made available on the Production List, all completed tack orders will have a construction period during which I make the tack. When I am back-logged, I frequently stop excepting orders so that new orders do not have to wait 12 months or more for delivery. Currently (July 2006), I am accepting custom orders only on a limited, restricted basis, trying to keep delivery wait down to 3-4 months on accepted orders. See Work Load Page for additional information before ordering tack from the catalog or If you need tack now, please go to our list of completed, in-stock tack: the Production List.

Kits, Instructional Materials, Tack Supplies, & Production List items are always available without restriction.
