The option for shipping protection is optional for all orders and can be added above the checkout button on the cart page. This added service covers your package if for any reason a delay occurs while in transit with our shipping providers. Delays can be caused by the following events: Improperly sorted packages, Mechanical Malfunctions, Flight Delays, Weather, Etc. Understanding that these events are out of the control of all parties involved we offer a worry-free protection which would cover in the event that the shipment is affected by any of these conditions and unable to be delivered on the scheduled delivery date.
