The Drake Combo

 

At Tahoe Essentials, we strive to ensure that your orders are processed and delivered promptly. Please review our shipping policy carefully to understand how we handle shipping, delivery times, costs, and related concerns.

1. Shipping Destinations

We currently ship to addresses within the United States and select international destinations. If you are located outside the U.S., please contact us to confirm whether we can ship to your country.

2. Order Processing Time

Once your order is placed, we aim to process and ship it within 1-3 business days. Orders placed on weekends or holidays will be processed on the next business day. Processing times may vary depending on product availability or high-demand periods (e.g., holiday seasons).

3. Shipping Methods and Delivery Times

We offer the following shipping options:

• Standard Shipping (5-7 business days)
• Express Shipping (2-3 business days)
• Overnight Shipping (1 business day)

Delivery times are estimates and begin from the shipping date, not the order date. Delays may occur due to carrier issues, weather conditions, or customs for international orders.

4. Shipping Costs

Shipping fees will be calculated at checkout based on the shipping method selected and the destination. For orders over $100, we offer free standard shipping within the U.S.

International shipping costs will vary depending on location, and additional customs fees or taxes may apply for international orders. Customers are responsible for any customs duties or import taxes.

5. Order Tracking

Once your order has been shipped, we will send you a confirmation email with a tracking number so you can monitor the delivery of your package. If you do not receive this email or have issues tracking your order, please contact us at tahoeessentials530@gmail.com.

6. International Shipping

For international orders, please be aware that delivery times may be longer due to customs clearance procedures and regulations in your country. Customs fees, duties, and import taxes are the customer’s responsibility and are not included in the shipping cost.

7. Lost or Stolen Packages

Tahoe Essentials is not responsible for packages that are lost or stolen after delivery. If your tracking information shows that your package was delivered but you did not receive it, please contact the carrier directly. We recommend checking with neighbors or other household members before reaching out to the carrier.

To help prevent theft, we suggest shipping to a secure location or using a delivery service that requires a signature.

8. Incorrect Shipping Information

Please double-check your shipping address before placing your order. Tahoe Essentials is not responsible for delays or lost packages due to incorrect or incomplete shipping information. If you realize you’ve entered the wrong shipping address, please contact us immediately at tahoeessentials530@gmail.com. We will do our best to update your order, but we cannot guarantee changes once an order has been processed.

9. Shipping Delays

While we strive to meet all delivery timelines, unforeseen delays due to weather, carrier issues, or other external factors are beyond our control. We are not liable for any delays caused by these factors but will do our best to keep you informed if there are significant disruptions.

10. Delivery Issues

If you experience any issues with the delivery of your order (e.g., the package is significantly delayed or damaged), please contact us at tahoeessentials530@gmail.com within 48 hours of the expected delivery date. We will assist you in filing a claim with the carrier or resolving the issue as quickly as possible.

11. Returns Due to Failed Delivery

If a package is returned to us due to an incorrect address, refusal to accept the package, or failure to collect it from the carrier’s location, we will contact you to arrange re-delivery. Tahoe Essentials reserves the right to charge additional shipping fees for re-delivery or, in some cases, issue a refund minus the original shipping cost.

12. Pre-Orders and Backorders

If you purchase a product listed as pre-order or backorder, please note that the shipping timeline will be extended until the item is in stock. You will receive an estimated shipping date at the time of purchase, and we will notify you if there are any further delays.

13. Order Modifications and Cancellations

Customers can request order changes or cancellations by contacting us at tahoeessentials530@gmail.com as soon as possible after placing the order. Once an order has been processed or shipped, we may not be able to modify or cancel it. In such cases, the customer would need to follow the return process outlined in our Return and Refund Policy.

14. Damaged or Defective Products

If your order arrives damaged or defective, please take a photo of the damaged item(s) immediately upon receipt and contact us within 48 hours at tahoeessentials530@gmail.com with the photo and a description of the issue. We will arrange for a replacement or refund, depending on the situation.

15. Customs, Duties, and Taxes

For international orders, any applicable customs duties, taxes, or fees are the responsibility of the customer. These are not included in our shipping fees. You are advised to check your country’s customs policies before placing an order to avoid unexpected charges.

16. Shipping Restrictions

Some products may be restricted from shipping to certain locations due to legal or logistical reasons (e.g., perfumes and colognes, which are often considered hazardous materials). We will notify you at checkout or shortly after if your order cannot be fulfilled due to such restrictions.

17. Signature Requirements

For certain high-value orders, we may require a signature upon delivery to ensure your items are securely received. You will be notified during checkout or via email if your shipment requires a signature.

18. Multiple Shipments

In some cases, your order may arrive in multiple shipments. If part of your order is backordered or out of stock, we will ship the available items immediately and the remaining items as soon as they are back in stock. You will receive multiple tracking numbers if your order is split into multiple shipments.

19. Changes to Shipping Policy

Tahoe Essentials reserves the right to modify this shipping policy at any time. Changes will be reflected in the "Last updated" date at the top of this page. Please review this policy periodically to stay informed of any updates.

We accept returns for eligible items within 90 days of purchase. To qualify for a return, the item must be:

• Unused, unworn, and in the same condition as when you received it.
• In its original packaging, including tags, labels, or protective covers.

We are strict with our refund policy, and failure to report the issue within 48 hours or provide photos may result in your claim being denied.

Please note that a $20 flat rate return shipping fee will be deducted from all refunds.

Restocking Fees

We currently do not charge a restocking fee. However, we reserve the right to apply a restocking fee for certain high-value items or bulk orders. This fee will be communicated to you during the return process if applicable.

All returns must be authorized by Tahoe Essentials before being sent back. Unauthorized returns will not be accepted. To request return authorization, email us at tahoeessentials530@gmail.com with your order details.

Order Cancellations

Orders can only be canceled within 24 hours of being placed. After this period, we cannot guarantee that your order can be canceled, as it may already be in processing or shipping. If you still wish to cancel an order after 24 hours, please contact us at tahoeessentials530@gmail.com, and we will do our best to assist.

Final Sale Items

Items marked as "Final Sale" are not eligible for returns, refunds, or exchanges under any circumstances. Please ensure that you review the product information and sizing carefully before purchasing any Final Sale items.

Holiday Returns

Items purchased during the holiday season (from November 15 to December 31) may be returned until January 15 of the following year, as long as they meet the standard return criteria.

Refund to Store Credit for Sale Items

All items purchased on sale or with a discount code are only eligible for store credit, not a refund.

Store Credit Option

In some cases, if a refund is not applicable, we may offer you store credit for future purchases. Store credit will be issued in the form of a coupon code that can be applied at checkout.

We reserve the right to update or modify this Return and Refund Policy at any time. Changes will be posted on this page with the updated date at the top. Please review the policy periodically to stay informed of any updates.
