limited to selected bolts of felt, Styrofoam, gallons of liquids
and wax, and will be noted when placing your order. These specified
items cannot be shipped via air shipment due to their excessive

contains any of these items, Next Day or 2 Day Air shipment options
will not be available when you select your shipping method on the
checkout page. To send the items in your shopping cart that are not
oversized or heavy via air, you will have to place a separate order

air. Aerosol items can only be shipped via Standard shipping, and
not by Next Day Air, 2 Day Air, or USPS Priority Mail. Most of
these items will be noted in the item's product description and
during checkout. If your shopping cart contains any aerosol items,
air shipment options will not be available when you select your
shipping method on the checkout page, and your entire order will
ship by Standard shipment. To send the non-aerosol items in your
shopping cart via air, you will have to place a separate order for
those products. All orders containing aerosol items shipping to
some parts of Alaska and Hawaii can only be shipped via USPS Parcel
Post, which takes approximately 4-6 weeks to arrive. Aerosol items
cannot be shipped internationally, to Puerto Rico, Guam
or the Virgin Islands.
Item Not Shipped
CreateForLess does not backorder items not shipped. Our goal is
have accurate and up to the minute inventory counts prior to
placing your order, so that you will receive exactly what you
ordered. Unfortunately, despite our best efforts, occasionally our
inventory count is incorrect and we are unable to ship the quantity
ordered. If an item is out of stock at the time the order is
fulfilled, it will be canceled from the order. You will not be
charged for this item and your total order charge will be adjusted
accordingly.
To reorder an out of stock item, search for the item on our
site, click 'Email Me', enter your email address and we will send
you an email as soon as it is back in stock. When you receive the
'Product Update from CreateForLess' email notification, you can
place another order for the item. Depending on when the warehouse
receives the next shipment from the manufacturer, it generally will
be back in stock in approximately 2 weeks. If you have any further
questions, please contact
us.
