Shipping and Returns

Shipping & Returns
United States Shipping
Z Fabrique ships to all US addresses by either USPS Priority Mail, UPS or Fed Ex depending on urgency, suitability and cost – this means we can find the lowest cost option for our customers. For items in stock, we usually ship within 48 hours of receiving your order. UPS and Fed Ex provide tracking number and insurance services. USPS Priority Mail does not provide tracking and insurance. Please let us know if you would like tracking and/or insurance on your order. We can expedite your order by the many express services provided by USPS, UPS or Fed Ex – please note that the faster the delivery, the more the cost.
N.B. Customers are responsible for any and all additional carrier-imposed fees above and beyond standard rates for standard delivery such as (but not limited to) “Residential Delivery Charges”, “Lift Gate Charges”, etc.

International Shipping
Z Fabrique will ship internationally under the following conditions: We reserve the right to refuse to process any order or to refuse to ship to certain countries. Processing of international orders takes longer. Please allow time for us to pack and weigh your order and estimate the postage & handling cost. We will e-mail this information to you before your order is processed and shipped. We must have confirmation of acceptance of shipping costs and policies before your order is finalized. Most orders are shipped by International First Class Mail. Delivery for most shipments is estimated by the US Post Office at 7-10 days. Although most parcels arrive in this time frame, there can be delays due to many factors including higher volume of mail, increased security concerns and time to clear customs. There have been instances of parcels taking 3-4 weeks to arrive. Z Fabrique has no control over the postal services and therefore cannot and will not guarantee arrival dates or give credit for delays in shipping. If your order does not arrive within 30 days, you can place a claim with the US Post Office for a lost parcel. Under US Postal regulations, this is the earliest you can ask for a claim inquiry. It can take an additional 30 days for the Post Office to investigate. Customs, Duty Tax and VAT – Your parcel may be subject to a customs, duty or VAT tax. The regulations concerning whether or not your order will apply vary by country and it is the obligation of the consumer to obtain information concerning these taxes and pay them if necessary. You can usually obtain this information by contacting your postal office or customs office. N.B. Z Fabrique will not falsify any information on the customs forms.
