Shipping Methods
We currently use UPS and the United States Postal Service (USPS) for domestic shipments.
For orders shipping to PO Boxes, APOs, Alaska, and Hawaii, we use USPS exclusively.
We ship internationally with UPS Worldwide Saver and in some instances DHL. Duties may be required for international shipments.
Please note that orders may still need to be completed. Expedited shipping is does not speed up production time. It only means a faster shipping method when completed.
Standard Shipping
The most economical service that we provide for the 48 contiguous states. When you select Standard Shipping, we will choose a standard shipping service based on the order and the destination. Common standard services include UPS Ground and USPS Priority Mail.
All Free Shipping orders ship with a Standard Service.
Orders ship from Seattle, Washington. Shipping times do not include the manufacturing times noted in When Will My Order Ship? above.
Express Shipping
Two to three business days to reach most destinations in the continental United States. Please note: processing times listed above (see When WIll My Order Ship?) still apply to Express Shipping orders. This option is not really necessary for most shipments to Washington State, Oregon or northern California.
Next Day: One business day from departure to arrival. This can be very expensive, but worth it if you want your gear fast. Since we may have to manufacture a product on demand, we do not offer Next Day shipping online. If you're in a rush, please reach out to us at 206-292-2210 or customerservice@featheredfriends.com
USPS Services
USPS Priority Mail: A quick service to much of the United States, with Saturday delivery for many areas. Necessary for PO Boxes.
USPS Express Mail: This is a next-day service to many locations in the United States. To more rural areas, it may take two business days.
International Shipping
A Note on International Orders: You might be assessed customs duties, tariffs, Value Added Tax (VAT). etc., depending on your country. These costs are not included in shipping charges. We are not responsible for any duties on orders. Additionally, we absolutely cannot declare lower values on customs forms or send items as "gifts." Thank you for your understanding.
Most orders arrive 1-2 weeks from the ship date. International shipping may occasionally take longer to arrive due to various factors out of our control.
We want everybody to be able to enjoy Feathered Friends, so we offer shipping to most countries world-wide. We recommend that international orders be placed as far in advance of a hard-deadline as possible, just in case there are delays during transit. If you have any questions or urgent needs, always feel free to contact us at 1-206-292-2210 or customerservice@featheredfriends.com.
UPS International: UPS International is a global express service. Most shipments take about 3 to 5 business days for delivery.
DHL Express International: Most shipments with DHL Express take 3 to 5 business days. However, customs, holidays, and other factors out of our control can cause delays.
Italy Orders: Due to very complicated and stringent import laws, we currently do not ship to Italy. We apologize for the inconvenience
Non Feathered Friends Items: Due to dealer agreements we cannot ship most brands outside the USA. These include but are not limited to Therm-a-rest, MSR, Platypus, Scarpa, LaSportiva, Salewa, Osprey, Mammut, Arc'Teryx, and Petzl. Hilleberg items cannot ship to any European country, Chile, China, Hong Kong, Japan, Korea or Taiwan.
