SHIPPING:
Each item has specific shipping alternatives listed. Our shipping costs closely match those incurred for packaging, labor, and postage charges. All packages ship from our warehouse in Tonawanda (Buffalo) New York, via USPS (United States Post Office), UPS or Fedex. Our guarantee is to ship within 1 business day. We do ship on many weekends during peak seasons, but the guarantee is to ship within 1 business day. You will receive notification of package shipping within 1-business day of completing your purchase, and the time in transit given in the checkout (and below) will start on the following day. So if you order on a Sunday, your order will ship on Monday, and Tuesday is then considered the first day in transit. An express order with 1-2 business days shipping transit time is expected to be delivered on or before Wednesday. 

Please choose the shipping alternative that best suits your need upon checkout. We ship approximately 50% of our orders on the same day they are received, so in many cases we cannot change shipping service levels because orders have already been processed.
 
If any item(s) are unable to ship in an order with more than one item, the available item(s) will ship and the un-shipped item(s) will be refunded. If you would rather have your entire order cancelled due to a shortage of any item(s), you must email questions@blockbustercostumes.com with subject line “Please only ship my order if complete”, and include your order details.

Some large orders may be labeled as being outside standard consumer purchases and will automatically be reviewed, verified, and approved when accepted.

*While some stadard consumer purchases may offer free shipping, orders considered as being outside standard consumer purchases may incur additional shipping charges.*
