Shipping in Multiple Packages
If your order includes several items, they may ship separately and at different times. So that we can get your purchases to you as efficiently as possible, items which ship from the same location are grouped together. One shipment may arrive as several different packages based on the size or when items are ready to be shipped. Our shipping confirmation emails will let you know how much of your order has shipped and how much remains to be shipped.

Additional Shipping

SmartBargains.com strives to charge as little as possible for shipping. However, due to the incremental shipping costs created by each additional item, we include a nominal $1 handling charge for each additional item above two items in your order. Additional shipping charges also apply to oversized items.

SmartBargains.com will only include additional shipping charges when necessary to handle your delivery quickly and accurately.

The chart below shows how additional shipping charges are calculated in each scenario:

* Expedited services are calculated based on the shipping method selected and the total weight of the general merchandise and heavy additional shipping items in your order, plus a surcharge per oversized additional shipping item in your order.

** Additional shipping fees for oversized items shipped via Standard are indicated on individual product pages for those items.

Shipping Example:

You select standard shipping. $9.95 for base rate standard shipping
Your order includes 3 items. + $1.00 for 1 item above the 2-item base rate
One item has a $10.00 additional shipping charge. + $10.00
Another item has a $15.00 additional shipping charge. + $15.00
Total shipping costs for your order: = $35.95

Fragrance Shipping
Fragrance items can only be shipped via Standard. There are no expedited shipping options for fragrance items.

Combination Orders
Shipping charges are cumulative on combination orders. In other words, if your order includes general merchandise as well as oversized items, shipping will be calculated for each component of the order and totaled.

Fragrance items will always be shipped via Standard, separately from the rest of your order.

Most items are available to ship in 1 - 2 business days.

What "Ready to Ship" Means
Each item's page tells you when it will be "Ready to Ship," that is, how long it will take before it is packaged, labeled, and ready to leave our warehouse.

We start preparing your order as soon as we receive it so you can have it as soon as possible. In many cases, your order leaves our warehouse the same day you place it. Most orders leave our warehouse within 24-48 hours. The warehouse ships packages Monday through Friday.

Standard Shipping
Please allow 5-8 business days from the date of shipment for your order to arrive. Most orders arrive sooner.

Expedited Shipping
