Shipping & Delivery

Shipping Policy

Effective Date: May 15, 2024

1. Introduction

This Shipping Policy explains how orders are processed, packaged, shipped, and delivered by Hazstores (“we,” “our,” or “us”). All customers placing an order on our website agree to the terms described here.

This policy complies with:

• FTC guidelines for shipping and fulfillment disclosures
• U.S. consumer protection regulations

We aim to provide clear, accurate, and trustworthy information about shipping timelines and responsibilities.

2. Order Processing Time

We begin preparing your order as soon as payment is authorized. Processing includes quality checks, packaging, and preparing your shipment for dispatch.

Processing delays may occur during holiday seasons, major sales events, severe weather, or carrier disruptions.

3. Shipping Destinations

We currently ship only to the following region:

4. Estimated Delivery Timeframes

Delivery time begins after your order has been processed and shipped.

Delivery estimates are not guaranteed. External factors such as weather, and carrier capacity may affect timing.

5. Shipping Rates

We use a simple flat-rate shipping model for all orders shipped within the United States. Shipping costs do not change based on weight or distance.

6. Tracking Information

When your order ships, you will receive an email containing:

• Tracking number
• Tracking URL
• Carrier information (if available)
• Shipment details

Please allow 24–48 hours for tracking updates to appear after the carrier begins scanning the package.

If tracking does not update for more than 5 business days, contact us at support@hazstores.com.

7. Address Accuracy

Customers are responsible for providing complete and accurate shipping information. We are not responsible for:

• Misspelled addresses
• Missing apartment/unit numbers
• Incorrect postal codes
• Undeliverable addresses

If a package returns to us due to an incorrect address:

• Re-shipping fees may apply
• Processing may take additional time

Packages cannot be rerouted once in transit.

8. Delivery Issues & Carrier Delays

Once a package is transferred to the carrier:

• Risk of loss passes to the customer
• Delivery speed is controlled by the carrier, not Hazstores
• We cannot guarantee delivery dates

Common causes of carrier delays include:

• Weather conditions
• Operational backlogs
• Remote or restricted delivery areas
• Peak shopping seasons

If the package shows “delivered” but cannot be found, please:

• Check your mailbox, porch, side door, or garage
• Ask neighbors or building management
• Wait 24–48 hours for late carrier updates
• Contact the carrier directly

We cannot issue refunds for orders marked “delivered” unless covered by our Return Policy.

9. Lost, Stolen, or Damaged Packages

Lost Packages

If tracking shows no movement for 10+ business days, please contact us. We will open an investigation.

Stolen Packages

We are not responsible for stolen packages after delivery. Customers should use secure locations or carrier pickup services whenever possible.

Damaged Packages

If your order arrives damaged:

• Contact us within 48 hours of delivery
• Provide photos of packaging & damaged item
• Provide your order number

We will review the case and determine eligibility for replacement or refund.

We cannot ship to:

• Some PO boxes (depending on carrier)

We also reserve the right to refuse orders flagged for fraud or shipping risk.

11. Order Changes & Cancellations

• Changes cannot be guaranteed
• Address edits may not be possible after processing
• Orders cannot be canceled once shipped

Submit any change requests immediately to support@hazstores.com.

13. Multiple Shipments

Orders containing multiple items may be shipped in:
