Shipping & Returns

Shipping Information: 4 Sections

Section 1: Understanding Vendors & Shipping

At Mary's Miniatures we source miniatures from many vendors/manufacturers. This helps us bring you a wide selection of miniatures in our online catalog. This process, while it brings you great selection can delay shipping for some items. Lead times for items are posted clearly on every item page.

Note that since we ship all of your items together, your order will ship based on the longest lead time of items included in your order.

Please note that reported stock levels are not always accurate and many of our vendors reported stock numbers can be inaccurate and are not guaranteed. If an item(s) you order is out of stock we will do our best to source it from another vendor. If we cannot, that item and additional shipping (if incurred) will be refunded when we ship the rest of your order.

Section 2: Shipping Facts & Important Information

We make every effort to ensure your satisfaction. We will collect payment for your order, then email you to acknowledge your order and finally email you a second time with tracking information when the order is shipped. Please whitelist our domain marysminiatures.net in your email client to ensure you receive these emails.

We ship via the United States Postal Service. When your order ships you will receive an email with tracking for your package. If you have specific delivery instructions, please provide them in the "comments" section of checkout.

Please be certain when checking out that your delivery address is both accurate and valid. We ship USPS and each address is validated and formatted by the US Postal Service, please be certain your address is accurate as we are not responsible for misdirected packages due to an improper mailing address. Our postal software will automatically attempt to match your supplied address to a valid one, but there are no guarantees this will be appropriate. When in doubt, check with your post office.

Shipping to: Continental US, Alaska, Hawaii, American Samoa, District of Columbia, Guam, Marshall Islands, Northern Mariana Islands, Virgin Islands, Australia & Canada. We are not responsible for arrival taxes, tariffs and duties assessed by your country or other agencies.  We no longer ship to the UK because of the impossible Brexit UK VAT requirements.
Free shipping is not offered for non-continental US orders.

International shipping customers if ANYTHING odd happens when we ship your order, we will contact you via email. Please make sure to provide a valid email address.

Orders over $500.00 will be sent with with USPS Signature Confirmation service. This is a required process from the credit card companies and PayPal.

All free shipping offers are most items, everyday. This is because all of the shipping carriers have switched to dimensional weight. Our rates are set for small, light items. Items which are especially large or heavy have an additional charge you can see right in the product's page before you proceed to order. Dimensional weight means that even if an item is very light, under 13oz but is 15 by 15 by 2 then it's weight for the purpose of shipping is over 3lbs requiring a shipping upgrade. Dimensional weight is calculated by multiplying length by width by height. All orders ship by dimensional weight, the shipping carriers have all switched.

Section 3: Determining the cost of shipping

If your order totals $75 or more then there is free shipping on MOST items. To determine your exact shipping cost at any time, simply add the item to your cart, there is no need to create an account or supply any contact information to check your shipping cost. Once the item(s) are in your cart, visit the shopping cart page and use the "Calculate Your Shipping Cost" form pictured below. There is NO information collected except your state and zip code to get the total of your shipping.
