In-stock items are shipped as soon as possible after receiving your confirmed payment. Out-of-stock items will be shipped as soon as we receive them from the factory.

Place your order now.
It will ship first thing Friday morning.

Oznium reserves the right to use a shipping service other than the one you selected for your purchase. While we generally will use the service you selected, in some cases, we may use a comparable service. For example, if you choose First-Class Mail by the USPS, we may use Ground by UPS.

If an item arrives damaged or is lost by the shipping company, please contact us immediately. Save all packaging in case of an insurance claim of damaged products. In the rare case a shipping problem occurs, Oznium will assist you in any way we can.

If you change your mind after placing an order, you can cancel the order if you notify us before we have shipped it.

Because of forces outside of our control, Oznium cannot guarantee delivery by a certain date. If an order is time-sensitive (you need it by a certain date), please contact us directly to get an estimate of delivery.

Shipping carriers may require a signature. If no one is available to receive the package, the carrier may leave a note. They will likely attempt re-delivery on the next business day, or allow for pickup at their facility.

Our $4.20 shipping rate applies only to destinations in the lower 48 states (excludes AK, HI, and international).

A word about Delivery Confirmation with USPS Priority Mail

Please be aware that the Post Office's (USPS) Delivery Confirmation number IS NOT a tracking number. It simply provides a confirmation of delivery.

If you check the status of your Delivery Confirmation number before it is delivered, you will likely get the following standard message:

"The U.S. Postal Service was electronically notified by the shipper or shipping partner on July 24, 2008 to expect your package for mailing. This does not indicate receipt by the USPS or the actual mailing date. Delivery status information will be provided if / when available. Information, if available, is updated every evening. Please check again later."

This message is misleading and confusing. It may make you believe your package has not been mailed. But this is not the case. It has been mailed! And it is in the hands of the USPS. Most Priority Mail packages are delivered within 2 to 3 business days.

We appreciate your understanding and patience, even if your package is not "trackable" for a few days. USPS Priority Mail is usually much cheaper and faster than UPS which offers full tracking.

Overnight with USPS Express Mail

The United States Postal Service (USPS) offers Express Mail as an inexpensive but quick shipping method.

To most addresses, Express Mail will usually arrive overnight. But we cannot make any guarantees or promises with Express Mail.

In comparison to UPS Next Day Air, USPS Express Mail is much cheaper, but not as reliable. If it is absolutely critical that you receive your package on time, we recommend shipping with UPS.

How about international shipping?

Does Oznium ship outside of the United States? Yes! We love Canadians, Australians, Italians, and of course the British.

We are happy to ship worldwide. As you are probably aware, air shipping can be expensive and there may be unforeseen delays in customs. Import duties and taxes may be imposed, but unfortunately we have no idea how much they will cost. We cannot give you an accurate delivery date. Please allow up to 2 weeks for delivery.

You can easily calculate exact shipping costs and options:
  1. Add products to your shopping cart
  2. While viewing your shopping cart, choose your country and enter your postal code

United Parcel Service (UPS)

UPS Driver
  • Delivered by a friendly driver in a big brown truck.
  • Usually requires a signature - depends on driver and situation. The driver is responsible for lost packages if they leave something at your door and you never get it. If you live out in the middle of nowhere, the driver will probably just leave the package for you. If you live in the ghetto, the driver is likely going to require a signature. You can always contact UPS and put a signature on file.
  • Tracking number lets you view your packages' progress. Expensive and slow to far-away places. Even more expensive, yet speedy fast and reliable for Next-Day Air services.
  • Dogs best friend - many UPS drivers are known to toss your dog a couple biscuits.

United States Postal Service (USPS)

UPS Driver
  • Delivered by the mail man (or lady) in a wimpy mail truck.
  • Same people that deliver your mail everyday - for example all your bills, and your birthday card from Uncle Harry.
  • Fast and inexpensive. Perfect for small and lightweight packages. First-Class Mail usually delivered in under 7 business days. Priority Mail usually delivered in 2 to 3 business days. Express Mail usually delivered in 1 to 2 days (1.7 average).
  • Dogs hate 'em - did you know an average of 11 letter carriers suffer dog-related injuries each day?
