Shipping

What is the processing time for an order prior to shipping?

All orders shipping to a U.S. address require 3-5 business days processing prior to shipping. Orders that include custom printed products may require 3 additional days processing prior to shipping. International orders will require additional processing time.

What are your shipping rates? 

Our shipping & handling rates are calculated at the current USPS & FedEx retail pricing based on the delivery address and products ordered. We do not directly control our shipping/handling rates and therefore can not make adjustments. Forward Merch may or may not offer free shipping on qualified orders. 

How can I track my package? 

Once your product ships, you will receive a shipping confirmation email that will include tracking information. Please allow 24 hours for the tracking number to be activated within the shipping service system.

Depending on the processing time for your order, it may take up to 5 days after placing your order before you receive a shipping confirmation email. There may be additional delays for select orders and international shipments.

Will FedEx deliver to a P.O. Box?

P.O. Box orders will ship via FedEx SmartPost. Please allow additional transit times for delivery.

I didn’t receive my order because the delivery address is incorrect. 
Orders that are delivered to an address that was incorrectly input by a customer during check out will not be replaced or refunded. It is the customer’s responsibility to double check that their shipping address has been entered correctly. 

Orders that are returned to Forward Merch as undeliverable due to an incorrect address supplied by the customer will be refunded within 2 weeks, less the shipping/handling costs, unless other arrangements for reshipping have been made. 

Orders that are delivered to an incorrect address or returned to Forward Merch due to an error on our part, will be reshipped. 

The tracking number indicates that my order was delivered, but I didn’t receive my package. 

Forward Merch is not responsible for packages after they have been delivered. We cannot replace or refund orders that have gone missing after the tracking information shows they have been delivered.

You may contact the shipping carrier to see if they can provide additional information regarding your shipment. 

We also suggest checking with neighbors to see if they picked up the package.
