Shipping Information

Shipping Policy

We ship products within 2-6 business days unless it is a special order item.

The jewelry and gifts items are generally stocked locally and are shipped within 2-3 business days.

The vitamin and nutritional supplements are obtained fresh from the factory to meet the customer requirements. We do like this because we want to make sure that you receive the freshest products possible from us. Items that had been sitting on a store shelf for months on end loses potency. So, although this increases our cost, we do not stock the supplements locally. So, they are shipped within 4-6 business days of receiving the order. If you need the items in a hurry, please ask for courtesy expedited order service. In this case we will have the items sent directly from the factory. Please be sure to mention this on your order form.

The international orders may take an additional 3 business days over these estimates due to the time it takes to prepare the paperwork, and for the special handling required.

Shipping Method

We currently ship all products by US Postal Service. First class package or priority mail (2-3 day delivery) is generally used. You have to provide a valid delivery address which usually is the same as the billing address for the credit card you are charging the purchases to. For Paypal, it is the confirmed address.

For expedited handling (when specifically requested by the customer at the time of ordering) of vitamins, and nutrition supplements, the items will be directly shipped from the factory using UPS 2nd day delivery. Please note that this implies 2nd business day and so when an item is shipped on Friday, it won't be delivered till Tuesday. This requires a street address for delivery.

We realize that sometimes you may want to send a gift to someone else at an address different from the confirmed address. Please contact us if you want to do this and we will try to help you.

UPS and Federal Express require a street address and do not deliver to PO Boxes (USPS does deliver to PO Boxes).

Express Mail Delivery is available at an added cost. For most of the country it is 1-2 day delivery.

International Shipments

We do ship to several countries. You can choose standard delivery (air mail) or by Global Express Mail. Cost varies from countries to countries. Please note that if you want to track your package, you need to choose Express Delivery or Courier Delivery (below). Global Priority Mail or Air Mail cannot be tracked once it leaves the US. (Global Priority Mail is not available to all countries.)

FedEx (Courier) Delivery

We offer FedEx shipment for those who desires to have it. This is the quickest delivery method as the custom processing etc. are handled by the courier. The duties, if any, will be paid by FedEx and will be billed. This avoids the need for you to go and clear customs and the delays involved in customs. This service is expensive compared to Global Express Mail. But if you are ordering several items, this may be a viable option. This also is a good option if you want items to be shipped to countries whose customs service tend to be bogged down in bureaucracy.

If you wish FedEx delivery, choose express delivery option and then indicate in the remarks column that you want delivery by FedEx. We will advise you the additional cost involved and bill you for that separately.
