Blackthorne Trading Policies

Shipping

Blackthorne Auction House (blackthorneauctions.com) accepts orders 24 hours a day, every day of the week. Orders are processed in the order they are received and expedited shipping orders, such as Priority and Express shipping, are elevated in priority to meet the delivery deadline. All orders are shipped from our location in Tampa, Florida, USA via USPS.  Blackthorne ships to all 50 U.S. states and follows the standard methods available by USPS.

Orders are usually processed and shipped within 2~4 business days from the time the order is placed.  The day an order ships does not count as a day in transit. Orders placed on Saturday and Sunday will be processed the following Monday and shipped within 2~4 days.

**Due to the high volume of orders during the holiday season you may experience extended processing time up to 7 business days.**

We currently do not ship to APO/FPO/DPO addresses. Orders that contain a different shipping address from billing address may be subject to review, in which case the customer will be contacted. This can delay shipping time.  Blackthorne cannot guarantee same day expedited shipping when an order is placed on hold for review. Tax rate is based on the shipping address and not the billing address.

In order to provide our customers with accurate and fair rates our shipping calculator takes into consideration the weight of the purchase, shipping destination and desired method.

International Shipping

USPS’s local country affiliates will charge the recipient all applicable duty, taxes, and/or brokerage fees C.O.D. in the local currency at the time of delivery. All taxes, duties and customs fees are the responsibility of the recipient of the package. Your local post office or carrier can give you information on the method of payment accepted for the duties, taxes and other fees collected upon delivery.  If a package is processed by customs there will be a delay in delivery. If packages are refused due to unexpected customs charges the customer will be charged for outgoing and incoming shipping charges as well as the refusal charges.
