Shipping Policy
Free Shipping on Orders over $250 and Over!
We are currently offering free ground shipping on orders over $250 within the lower 48 states (contiguous US) and to APO addresses.
Our shipping rates are determined by your location, the product’s weight, and, in some cases, the size of the product. Our default shipping method is UPS Ground. We also offer several expedited UPS options as well as USPS Priority Mail. UPS is our preferred carrier because they provided better insurance and tracking services. Please note that all shipping times listed below (including expedited service) are in business days only. Saturdays, Sundays, and holidays are excluded.
For all shipments a complete and accurate shipping address is also required, as HealthyHikerGear.com does not refund freight charges on packages that are returned to us as undeliverable. Additionally any freight charges assessed by the shipper for returning a refused package will be the customer's responsibility. For international orders this will include applicable duties and taxes. If these charges are less than the value of your return we will deduct that amount from your refund.
We normally ship all in stock items within 1-3 business days from the time your order is received. Orders are usually shipped via UPS and actual delivery time will vary according to your UPS Zone. (In most cases it averages 5 to 10 business days from the day that the order was placed). Any item that is "out of stock" will be backordered and will be shipped upon it's arrival in our warehouse.
Healthy Hiker Gear is not responsible for any merchandise lost or stolen through the mail or UPS. See the usual UPS delivery schedule.
