Shipping & Delivery
Carriers
We primarily use the United States Postal Service (USPS) for most shipments to offer reliable and timely delivery. In certain cases, especially with items like LiPo batteries, we may use alternative carriers to comply with shipping regulations and ensure your order arrives safely.
UPS Shipping
- Please note that UPS does not deliver on Saturdays.
- If you require weekend delivery, we recommend choosing USPS as your shipping option.
Processing Time
-
Same-Day Shipping (Monday through Friday):
- We ensure USPS packages are in their possession by 3-4 PM Eastern Time.
- There is a hard cut-off at 3 PM for same-day shipping on USPS packages.
- For UPS packages, we prioritize orders that come in before 3 PM.
- Orders placed after the 3 PM cut-off will ship the following business day.
-
Saturday Shipping:
- We fulfill orders throughout the day on Saturdays.
- There is a strict cut-off for same-day shipping at 11:00 AM Eastern Time.
- Orders placed on Saturday after 11 AM or on Sunday will ship the following Monday.
Delivery Estimates & Delays
- Delivery times are estimates provided by the carriers and may vary due to factors beyond our control.
- WREKD cannot be held responsible for delays caused by the carrier or local postal services.
Lost Packages
- We highly recommend selecting the Route Shipping Protection at checkout or opting for USPS Priority Mail, which includes $50 of insurance and reliable tracking.
- If a package is lost in transit, we will assist in filing a claim with the carrier but cannot guarantee a refund or replacement without shipping insurance.
- Please ensure your shipping address is correct to avoid delivery issues.
Separate Shipping Fees
We understand that paying separate shipping fees for different items in a single order may seem inconvenient. However, there are important reasons behind this:
WREKD® Fulfillment Network
Our store operates through the WREKD® Fulfillment Network, partnering with multiple suppliers to offer a wide range of products in one place. Some items are shipped directly from different suppliers' warehouses, resulting in separate shipping fees. This model saves you the hassle of visiting multiple stores to find all the items you need.
Cost Efficiency
Despite separate shipping fees, our rates are often lower than other retailers because we negotiate favorable shipping deals and absorb a significant portion of the actual shipping costs.
Diminishing Shipping Fees
We offer a tiered shipping fee structure that rewards larger orders:
- $0 to $24.99: Tier 1 Shipping Fee
- $25 to $49.99: Tier 2 Shipping Fee
- $50 to $74.99: Tier 3 Shipping Fee
- $75 to $99.99: Tier 4 Shipping Fee
- $100+: Free Shipping
This structure allows you to save more as you add items to your cart.
Priority Shipping Options
For items that ship directly from our store, we offer priority shipping options, allowing you to receive your items faster if needed.
When Do My Items Ship?
We take great pride in getting your items shipped as quickly as possible. Refer to the Shipping section for detailed information on processing times.
Pre-Orders, Made-to-Order, Print-on-Demand, Backorder
If you order one of these items, please understand that there may be a delay due to preparation:
- Most clothing items, posters, jerseys, etc. (unless specified as in stock).
- Gas Lights, Custom Radio Stick Ends (Five33 Rip Sticks).
- Custom Built Drones by WREKD.
Separate Orders Recommended: We encourage you to place these types of items in separate orders if you have in-stock items you wish to ship quickly.
Where Is My Stuff?
We understand how eager you are to receive your order. However, there are a few situations that may cause delays:
- Out of Stock Items.
- Pre-Order or Backordered Items.
- Made-to-Order Items.
- High Risk of Fraud Detected.
- Declined Payment.
If any of these issues arise, we will contact you via email. Please check your inbox for updates before reaching out.
