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)

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.

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.

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

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.

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.
