Q: What shipping methods are offered and how much do they cost?

A:  Varese Sarabande offers Media Mail, USPS First-Class, and USPS Priority Mail for orders shipped within the US. For international orders. including Canada, products will ship USPS International.

Shipping costs vary greatly and are calculated at checkout depending on weight, destination, and shipping method. To calculate your shipping cost, simply add items to your Cart, enter your shipping address, and proceed to checkout. You will then be provided with the shipping methods and costs associated with your shipping address.

Orders shipped outside of the United States may be subject to import taxes, customs duties and fees levied by the destination country. Additional charges for customs clearance must be fulfilled by the recipient; Varese Sarabande has no control over these charges, nor can we predict what they may be. Applicable customs and duty charges at the point of delivery are to be borne by the buyer. 

We comply fully with the regulations imposed by US Customs & Border Protection and thus cannot declare your order as a "gift" or with a lesser value than is required. 

Customs policies vary widely from country to country; you should contact your local customs office for more information. When customs clearance procedures are required, it can cause delays beyond our original delivery estimates. 

 

Q: What are estimated shipping times?

A:  Most orders are expected to ship from our facility within 2-3 business days unless an item is on backorder or pre-order. A package of multiple items will not ship until all items are available and in stock.  Once your order ships, you should receive a shipping confirmation email which will include tracking information.

Shipping times vary greatly based on shipping method and location. However, estimated shipping times are as follows. Please note that these shipping times are estimates, not guarantees.

Media Mail: 2-8 Business Days*

USPS First-Class: 2-3 Business Days

USPS Priority Mail: 1-3 Business Days

 

USPS International Shipping: 5-30 Business Days

FedEx International Economy: 2-5 Business Days

*While most Media Mail shipments are delivered within 8 days of shipping, it may take up to 30 days to reach your destination. This is especially true for residents of Hawaii, Alaska, Puerto Rico, American Samoa, US Virgin Islands, and APO addresses.

If you have not received your order within 48 hours of the tracking information claiming that it has been delivered, please contact your local post office and provide them with the tracking number associated with your order. Most of the time, these packages are either dropped off at an unexpected location at your address, are being held at your local postal carrier office, or are with one of your close neighbors. If the post office is not able to find your items, please contact us at distro@awesomemerch.com and we would be happy to assist you further!

 Q: I’m being told the email address and/or password to my account is not recognized.  What do I do?

A: Varese Sarabande launched a brand new eCommerce platform and payment processor in April 2015.

If you haven't created a new account since April 2015, unfortunately you will need to create a new account.  Only an email address and password is required. If you have created an account since April 2015, double-check you are correctly spelling your email address and/or password.
