What carrier will deliver my package?

• All packages are discreet, with owner name and the letters AOV only in a priority envelope.
• All orders are shipped with USPS priority mail and are insured. Depending on the delivery route, USPS priority mail typically takes 2-3 business days to deliver after your package is accepted by USPS. USPS does NOT guarantee the shipping date, the date is only an estimated delivery date. Delays may happen so please be patient with USPS, if this does occur.
• We offer to ship USPS Express Mail for semi -guaranteed delivery to 1-2 business days to deliver for a flat rate of $29 or $37 if not over $89. This shipping option does not mean your package is guaranteed by the next day. It depends on the carrier’s route so your package may take 2-3 days to be delivered when shipping with express. DO NOT get express with echeck or green bean pay, it takes a few days for those to process through the bank.

**Note when selecting Express mail, this does not mean your order is shipped right away. All orders including express must be placed by 10am central time to be shipped same day.** If you want express, please message us on our facebook page for instructions.

If you experience any problems with shipping delays, please contact USPS. We do not work for the mail carrier and they will better assist you. Once a shipment is handed to the carrier, Austin Leaf, LLC is no longer responsible for it. You should receive tracking information once your order is ready to go out. If your package does not arrive but shows delivered in the carrier’s tracking system, we will not be held liable. If the package does not arrive and tracking indicates such, the extent of our liability is to aid you in locating the package with the carrier.
