Shipping
We want to provide the best experience and help you plan for the scheduled arrival of your order. We will begin shipping orders for the 2024 season at the end of September. NO ORDERS WILL BE SHIPPED PRIOR TO THE END OF SEPTEMBER.
Please understand that shipping carriers may experience delays starting in early November through Christmas Day due to increased volume. We are not responsible for packages arriving late due to carrier delays.
Once we begin shipping at the end of September, we will fulfill your order in 3-4 business days in the order in which it was received and ship orders out Monday-Friday. Your order gets picked up the next day by the carrier and gets scanned in at the facility by the end of the day. However, it is important to note that the USPS does not always scan packages in upon receipt and often do not scan until delivery. If guaranteed delivery is a concern then it is best to select UPS or FedEx.
Expedited Shipping is typically sent USPS Priority Mail. During January-October is an estimated 3 business days. During November-December it is estimated 3-5 business days. Again, if guaranteed delivery is a concern then it is best to select UPS or FedEx.
Standard Shipping is typically USPS First Class Mail or UPS Ground. During January-October is an estimated as 5-7 business days. During Peak Holiday seasons packages can regularly take 14 days and can be upwards of 21 days.
Please understand that for USPS in particular, that the number of days specified in the shipping method is a best estimate from the carrier and not a guarantee.
Please be aware we do not refund shipping costs for slow or delayed packages due to the shipping carrier. Once your package is in the possession of the carrier we no longer have control over how or when they deliver. If your package is showing delivered and you have not received it please reach out to the shipping carrier directly to see if they can help you locate it. Your shipping is purchased through the carrier and once it leaves our warehouse we are no longer responsible. All claims must be filed with the carrier. We are not responsible for incorrect addresses entered by the customer at checkout.
The shipping cost is calculated by the carrier at checkout based on the destination address. We are a small business that lacks the buying power of much larger online retailer and often subsidize part of the shipping costs.
We are currently unable to offer international shipping. We are doing our best to get it set up in the near future.
Returns
We want you to be completely satisfied with your order. Should you have a problem with your order such as missing or defective parts, please contact us immediately at service@newtraditioncrafts.com. We will do our best to make it right.
We will accept returns for items in new, unopened condition only, including the white storage box and sealed plastic bags. You as the customer must contact service@newtraditioncrafts.com prior to returning your order. If order is returned without contacting us first or in used or damaged condition we will not issue a refund.
The customer will be responsible for return shipping costs. Once received we will refund the cost of the product only, not shipping costs. Our return policy extends for 30 days. If 30 days have gone by since your purchase, we cannot offer you a refund or replacement. Due to the seasonal nature of our products, no returns on Christmas products are accepted after December 15th of the calendar year of the purchase including orders placed within 30 days prior to that date.
