Shipping prices fluctuate substantially, and our production process for a given product can take up to a year. To ensure acurate shipping prices, shipping is invoiced at the time of shipping.

Your shipping invoice will be sent to the email address that you provide at checkout. Your shipping cost must be paid in order to receive your purchase. If you default on your shipping payment, then your order will be forwarded to our facilities in Dallas, Texas.
