Shipping Policy
Shipping Policy
Effective Date: September 15, 2026
Kryptic Kuties carefully packages each order for its journey to its new home.
Many of our products are unique, fragile, vintage, handmade, or difficult to replace, so we would rather package something excessively than discover that a carrier has attempted an unscheduled exorcism with a conveyor belt.
Order Processing
Most orders are processed within 2–5 business days, unless otherwise stated on the product page.
Processing time is separate from shipping transit time.
Custom, made-to-order, or specially prepared items may require additional time.
Business days do not include weekends or major holidays.
Shipping Rates
Shipping rates are calculated at checkout unless a product or promotion qualifies for free shipping.
Rates may vary based on:
- destination
- product size
- package weight
- shipping method
- carrier
- insurance requirements
Shipping Carriers
Orders may be shipped through carriers such as:
- USPS
- UPS
- FedEx
- other approved shipping services
Carrier availability may vary by destination and package type.
Tracking
When tracking is available, a tracking number will be sent after your order ships.
Tracking information may take time to update after a shipping label is created.
Delivery Estimates
Estimated delivery dates are estimates only.
Once a package has been accepted by the carrier, delivery timing may be affected by:
- weather
- holidays
- transportation delays
- carrier volume
- local delivery conditions
- customs
- events outside our control
Kryptic Kuties LLC cannot guarantee a specific delivery date unless expressly stated.
Shipping Insurance
Because many Kryptic Kuties items are one-of-a-kind, fragile, or difficult to replace, certain shipments may include insurance.
Additional insurance may be added at our discretion.
If a package arrives damaged, retain all packaging and follow the damaged-order process described below.
Damaged Packages
If your order arrives damaged, contact us within 3 days of delivery whenever possible.
Please provide:
- your order number
- clear photographs of the damaged item
- photographs of the shipping box
- photographs of internal packaging
- a photograph of the shipping label
Do not throw away packaging until the shipping claim has been resolved.
Lost Packages
If tracking shows no movement for an extended period or a package appears lost, contact us.
We may need to initiate a carrier investigation before issuing a replacement, refund, or other resolution.
Because many products are one-of-a-kind, an exact replacement may not be available.
Packages Marked Delivered
If tracking shows that your package was delivered but you cannot locate it:
- check around your property and delivery area
- ask household members or neighbors
- contact the carrier
- allow up to 24–48 hours for delayed delivery scans
- contact us if the package remains missing
Kryptic Kuties LLC is not responsible for theft occurring after a carrier has confirmed successful delivery, though we will assist with reasonable carrier inquiries where possible.
Incorrect Shipping Addresses
Customers are responsible for entering a correct and complete shipping address.
If you notice an error before shipment, contact us immediately.
We cannot guarantee that an address can be changed once fulfillment begins.
Orders returned because of:
- incorrect addresses
- incomplete addresses
- refused delivery
- failure to collect a package
may require additional shipping charges before being resent.
International Shipping
International shipping may be available to select countries.
International customers are responsible for any:
- customs duties
- import taxes
- brokerage fees
- tariffs
- local handling fees
These charges are not included in the purchase price unless specifically stated.
Customs delays are outside our control.
Restricted Items and Destinations
Certain products may not be eligible for shipment to particular destinations because of:
- carrier restrictions
- customs requirements
- material restrictions
- local laws
If we are unable to legally or safely ship an item to your location, we may cancel and refund the affected order.
Multiple Packages
Orders containing several items may occasionally ship in separate packages.
If so, you may receive more than one tracking number.
Returned-to-Sender Packages
If a package is returned to us because it was:
- unclaimed
- refused
- incorrectly addressed
- undeliverable
we will contact you.
Additional shipping charges may be required for reshipment.
