4. How long will it take for my item to arrive?
We normally ship within two business days (often the next day) of receiving payment for merchandise. On rare occasions when we are out of town on a "buying trip" or at a Trade Show it may take a few days longer and your confirmation email would in those cases mention that.
Most items shipped within the United States ship via Priority Mail. A few very small items may ship by first class mail. Typically U.S. shipments arrive within just a few days.
Unless the more costly Express Mail Shipping option is chosen at check out most International shipments will ship by International First Class Mail.Please note that we cannot truly estimate International Shipping times. The U.S. Postal Service gets the package to the recipients country pretty quickly but once there it has to be cleared through security and customs before it is handed off to the Postal Service in that Country. Since we cannot control International Government Agencies we cannot promise a specific delivery time. We can say that most of our international customers do receive their items within 10 - 20 days. Occasionally though it takes three - four weeks or more when International customs is running behind. We do insure all shipments. If you choose Express Mail shipping there is a good chance that you Government Agencies will process the delivery faster but we cannot guarantee that.
5. What if I want expedited shipping by Express Mail?
We do offer Express Mail, at a higher shipping fee as one of the shipping options at check out. Please note that Express Mail is Overnite (after the ship date) to some areas in the United States but is a 2 day (after ship date) delivery time to others. Orders that choose Express Mail will ship by that method the next morning. If shipping to an International location please keep in mind that even Express Mail shipments do have to pass through your governments Security and Customs Agencies whcih can effect the delivery time. Most International Government agencies do process Express Shipments faster than packages shipped by other methods but we still cannot control how long a foreign Government Agency takes to process an incoming shipment.
6. Do you offer combined shipping rates?
Our Shipping Costs are Fixed Rate based upon the dollar amount of the order. There are no per item charges - the total of the merchandise in your shopping cart determines your shipping costs. See our Shipping Info page for the chart with the shipping costs breakdown. U.S. orders of $200.00 or more receive FREE SHIPPING.
7. There is no "Add to Cart" button on the item I am interested in - what's up with that?
If you see the phrase "this item is available in limited quantities" and there is no Add To Cart Button on the page it means that we currently have only one left in that size and it is on hold for / allocated to an order that has not yet been paid for. When you see this please feel free to email us (Sales@TattooApparel.com) to check on the status. We may be able to free up the item or can do an actual physical inventory check to see if there may be an extra one in stock
8. I do not see the size I need in an item - can you get it?
Feel free to contact us if you see an item you like on the site but it is not listed in your size. Since we are licensed dealers of various product lines we can often get in a new shipment which includes additional sizes.
