Shipping & Policies
Shipping:
Frog Soapworks ships all orders via UPS and or USPS (United States Postal Service) - Priority Mail. We select the carrier based on what will get your order to you the fastest, safest and least expensive. We have a flat fee for shipping based on the total quantity of your order, unless an alternative shipping method is requested. Shipping cost apply to shipments within the 48 contiguous US states of North America. States of Alaska and Hawaii, all off-shore United States territory and possessions, such at Puerto Rico, DO NOT qualify for Free shipping, regardless of quantity ordered, and the actual shipping cost will be manually calculated on your order. We will email you with the rate information before applying to your order.
We ship most orders out the same day and will make sure we do everything possible to get yours out quickly, if you place your order prior to noon of the desired ship day. If not, your order will go out the next business day. For orders of 5 or less Money Candles we will ship them out via USPS Priority Mail which will be delivered anywhere in the US, most generally, within 2-3 days including Saturday residential delivery. Orders larger than 5 money candles will be shipped the most economical way, probably UPS, and will take 7-10 business days for your packages to get to you, especially during the holidays.
Please be sure to always let us know if your order is needed for a certain date (such as a party, wedding, or other special occasion). We offer expedited shipping options for domestic orders only. Those options being Next day, 2 day, and 3 day shipping options and they cost extra as described above.

For example; if you bought an item(s) that came with a FREE extra product. These FREE "extras" must be included with your return to qualify for a full refund. If a promotional item is missing, it's value will be deducted from the original price you paid for the order, thus reducing the amount of the refund, if such is issued.
