SHIPPING POLICIES AND MISSING ORDERS


Film Supply Club offers different UPS and USPS shipping options at checkout.  The "Our Choice 7-10 day shipping" option may turn out to be either UPS or USPS (including Ground Advantage or First Class) after we have evaluated options for your package. 
"Our Choice 7-10 day shipping" will usually deliver within that timeframe within the lower 48 states.  Shipping to Hawaii, Alaska, Puerto Rico, Guam, and APO or similar destinations may take longer.  If you have a deadline, we recommend you choose an expedited service.
 
Shipping Timeframes:

We ship orders Monday through Friday.  We ship from California.  Orders placed before 12pm PST Monday through Friday will ship that same day they are placed.

 

Orders placed with Film Supply Club after 12pm PST Monday through Friday will ship the next business day. 

 

Both UPS and USPS can deliver on Saturdays, but based on current performance we advise our customers not to count on Saturday delivery for a critical order.  When calculating the arrival of a time-sensitive shipment, do the math as though it can only arrive Monday through Friday.

 

Please use these rules to place any UPS Overnight Air, 2nd-Day, or 3rd-Day ("3rd Day Select") order so that it arrives within your desired timeframe.

 

Example 1: A 2nd Day Air order placed at 1 pm PST on a Tuesday will ship Wednesday (with 2nd Day Air service) for delivery on Friday.

 

Example 2: An Overnight Air order placed on Thursday at 1pm PST will ship Friday (with Overnight Air service) for delivery on the next business day, which is the following Monday.

 

Example 3: An Overnight Air order placed on Thursday at 8am PST will ship same-day, Thursday (with Overnight Air service), for delivery on Friday.

 

Please order early vs. last minute to save yourself the stress. 

 

Please note that while Film Supply Club offers USPS Priority shipping as a courtesy to customers who prefer to receive packages via the post office, we do not guarantee or predict any timeframe for USPS deliveries based on recent performance.

 

 

 

PO Boxes:

 

If you have a PO Box, please choose USPS Priority at checkout.

 

Insufficient Address and Return To Sender:

 

It is the responsibility of the customer to enter an accurate shipping address.  Film Supply Club is not responsible for any package that may be returned to sender due to insufficient address, wrong address, or refusal by the recipient. 

 

If a package is returned to Film Supply Club, we will make every effort to contact the purchaser; however, we reserve the right to charge shipping a second time, and/or charge a Return To Sender Fee.  If a package is returned twice, we will not make a third attempt.  Film Supply Club reserves the right to deduct a restocking fee from any ultimate refund.  Customers whose packages are repeatedly returned to Film Supply Club due to chronic problems with addresses and/or receipt of packages may have their accounts revoked.

 

International Shipping:

 

The only international shipping we offer at this time is to Canada.  You can contact us with any questions.

 

 

 

Lost or stolen parcels:

 

Film Supply Club is NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR LOST, STOLEN, or DAMAGED packages.  We recommend shipping insurance.  For information about shipping insurance, see below.

 

 

              COVID, DELAYS, THEFT and SHIPPING INSURANCE

Due to COVID, all of the shipping carriers are extremely overwhelmed because of the increase in online shopping. With this overwhelm, there has been an increase of mistakes made by carriers, packages showing delivered but are nowhere to be found, as well as an increase in doorstep theft.

 

For these reasons, we have implemented Route Shipping Insurance. Route protects you, the customer, from packages that are lost, damaged or stolen. We highly recommend you select this option. If you did not select Route shipping insurance, check with your credit card to see if they insure online orders for theft or damage.

 

Film Supply Club is NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR LOST, STOLEN, or DAMAGED packages.

              FILING A CLAIM WITH ROUTE:

When you purchase a product with Route Package Protection, you will get an email with your Route Order ID and a link to report an issue.
