Shipping & Returns

Shipping & Returns

We will gladly ship your order to any country around the world. Shipping charges apply to each address and vary based on delivery location. Please note, as a charitable organization, we must charge shipping and that our shipping fees include our costs for order processing. Recipients are responsible for any applicable duties, taxes, or brokerage fees (brokerage fees apply to all Canadian addresses, and to some other locations). All orders outside the US will be shipped First Class Mail unless stated otherwise. Over sized items such as framed prints, sculpture, and very large children's toys will incur a shipping surcharge for addresses outside the US. Items on which oversize surcharges apply display a message on the product page. Packages whose length plus girth is between 84 and 165 inches are considered over sized. Items that have a weight greater than 2 pounds may have a fixed shipping fee that varies from the chart below. Memberships are sent standard mail free of charge. Please note that personal Memberships can only be sent to the purchaser's billing address and that each Gift Membership requires a separate name and shipping address.
