Shipping Within the United States:

Our normal shipping charges include an amount that covers our costs of documentation, packaging, and handling, in addition to the actual cost of carriage. Note: You can preview your actual shipping cost before you checkout! After you add your items to your shopping cart, just view your shopping cart, enter your zipcode, state, and country -- and you can see how much shipping will cost!

High value items are only shipped by methods that allow proof of delivery.

We offer a variety of shipping options designed to meet the highly varied needs of our customers, and we will honor your requested method when possible. Please read the exceptions below. If you have special requirements, including a specific date or time by which you need the order to arrive, please email or call us (1-918-478-5500 M-F, 9-5 US Central Time) to learn if your requirements can be met.

Important notes and exceptions:

• USPS First Class Mail is available only for packages weighing 13 ounces or less and under $40 in value.
  
  
• If you choose USPS First Class Mail and your order weighs over 13 ounces or is valued over $40, we will ship your order via UPS Ground or USPS Priority Mail, depending on your location and the item(s) being shipped. In any event, we will not increase the shipping charge without getting your permission first.
  
  
• If you choose UPS Ground and your order is shipping to a post office box or to an APO or FPO military address, your order will ship via USPS Priority Mail, because UPS does not deliver to those addresses.
  
  
• USPS Express Mail is our only time-guaranteed service. The delivery times for all other shipping methods are estimates only, and we will not refund shipping charges for late delivery when you choose any of those other methods. If you choose USPS Express Mail, your order will arrive within 2 days from the date of shipment, though most areas will get next day delivery including Saturdays. If you need to know exactly when the package will arrive, please email or call us (1-918-478-5500 M-F, 9-5 US Central Time) before placing your order, to confirm the delivery date.
  
  
• USPS Express Mail delivery and insured shipments require a signature upon delivery. If you wish to waive the signature requirement, please send an email to us requesting signature waiver: info@earplugstore.com If you waive the signature requirement, you will be financially responsible for a lost package if that should happen. We do not waive the signature requirement for packages requiring insurance of more than $50.00. UPS and the US Postal Service reserve the right to determine at the time of delivery whether a package can be left safely without a signature; therefore, a signature waiver does not guarantee your package will be left if no one is there at the time of delivery to accept the package.
  
  
• Shipments to APO/FPO addresses are sent via USPS First Class, Priority Mail, or Express Mail depending on the total weight and value of the shipment, and the method you choose. The customer assumes ownership and financial responsibility for the order when the USPS confirms delivery to the APO/FPO address.

Free shipping offers are restricted to the shipping method indicated on the item order page. If you choose an alternative shipping method, the regular shipping charge for the method chosen will apply.

Shipping to Destinations Outside the United States:

Free shipping offers do not apply to destinations outside the United States.

Our normal shipping charges include an amount that covers our costs of documentation, packaging, and handling, in addition to the actual cost of carriage.

High value items are only shipped by methods that allow proof of delivery.

We offer a choice of First Class Mail International or Express Mail International for orders weighing 4 pounds or less and valued at less than $50. Orders that weigh more than 4 pounds or that are valued at $50 or more cannot be shipped via First Class Mail International. In our experience, First Class International shipments arrive at most international destinations within 7 to14 days, and Express Mail International shipments arrive within 3 to 10 days, depending on the time it takes to clear customs in the destination country.

Express Mail International is the least costly shipping method available that provides assurance the package will either be delivered to the customer or returned to us. We do not waive the delivery signature requirement on Express Mail International packages.

If you add to cart any item(s) in our store and enter the destination country, our automatic shipping calculator will give you the shipping method options available and the cost of shipping. Due to the complexities of international shipping, our automatic shipping calculator may quote an amount that is higher or lower than the final shipping charge. If we need to increase it by more than 10%, we will contact you for your approval before we ship the order or charge your card.

Please note that you are responsible for any import or customs duties, taxes, delivery fees and/or processing fees that may be charged by the destination country or the final delivery agent.

We have no control over these charges nor over how the delivery is handled once it reaches another country, nor any fee that may be charged by the local delivery agent. If and when such fees are charged, we are not notified of such charges and we do not profit from those charges.

If you refuse the delivery causing the package to be returned to us, you will still be responsible for the cost of shipping.

We try to always honor customer requests for alternative shipping methods where possible. If you have a preferred shipping method other than those we offer, write your request in the comments box during checkout and we will send you a quote before we ship or bill your credit card.

Return Policy:

You must contact us before returning any item for any reason. We will refuse any package returned to us that does not have a properly issued return merchandise authorization (RMA) number on the outside of the box.

An RMA number may be obtained by emailing help@earplugstore.com or by calling 1-918-478-5500. Our customer service staff is available to help you Monday through Friday, 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. US central time (except holidays.)

Unless otherwise specified in the item description, within 14 days of the date the product is shipped to you, you may return any item other than the following:

• pillows
• custom fitted ear plugs*
• custom ear molds
• white noise CDs
• any item designated as a "trial pack"
• opened packages of ear plugs
• items sold as "B" Stock (including open box, customer returns, or discontinued items.)

*Our return policy for custom fitted ear plugs and ear molds is for fit only, not for function. If the custom fitted plugs or molds do not fit properly on the first try, we will remake them at no charge if you send us another set of impressions, but we cannot refund your money. In this manner, fit is guaranteed for 90 days from the date of purchase.

A refund of the full purchase price, less a 15% restocking fee and less the shipping charge, will be issued within 30 days, provided that the item is in like new, sellable condition with all original packaging materials. Returned items will be inspected by quality control before a refund is approved. Any items not meeting the requirements for a refund will be discarded or returned to the customer at customer's expense. For defective products, please contact the manufacturer for warranty replacement or repairs. See the internal documentation for your product for warranty information.

We do not refund shipping and handling charges, nor do we pay the cost to return items to us for a refund. For items initially sold with free shipping, refunds will be reduced by our actual cost of shipping the original order or $10.00, whichever is greater.

Your refund will be posted to the credit card used to make the purchase within 30 days of receiving the returned merchandise. Although we generally post return credits much more quickly than that, please allow up to 30 days.
