Some countries are not listed in the drop down box - sorry, this is because we have not had success sending packages there in the past via the standard mail services. If the country you desire is not listed, please email or call us for a cusomt quote to send via UPS for guaranteed delivery.

On average, we ship most shoes within 1-4 business days**, but please plan on up to 2 weeks lead time before we ship to account for material delays, custom soling or workshop elves having unexpected life events.   For example, RunAmocs take up to 2 weeks for us to prepare before shipping because we are attaching a custom sole per your request.

Once your shoes leave our shop:

• First class mail arrives within  2-9 days in the 48 contiguous states
• Prioriy mail arrives within 2-3 days (this is not a guaranteed service)

Once your shoes leave our shop, shipping via First Class to Canada takes anywhere from 1 to 3 weeks (maximum) depending on customs processing.  Because our product is sourced and made in the USA, you should not have to pay any import duties under the North American Free Trade Act (NAFTA).  We identify our packages as subject to NAFTA regulations on the outer package and invoice. 

Canadian orders are considered international shipments and all international rules and regulations apply, including import duties and taxes. You are responsible for these additional charges once the shipment reaches your country.

Once your shoes leave our shop, shipping to international destinations via FIRST CLASS INT'L mail can take  anywhere from 2 to 4 weeks depending on customs processing. Please note that the tracking information provided when your shoes ship only tracks the package until it leaves US borders; we have no way of tracking a package outside the United States. We also offer PRIORITY INTERNATIONAL shipping for a higher rate, which takes an estimated 6-10 days for delivery to most countries and provides international tracking information beyond US borders.

Happily this does not occur very often!  If this should occur, please contact us if your package does not arrive when expected. There is tracking information on all domestic shipments we can trace for you.   We will also want to double check the shipping address, so please have your order information on hand.   If the package does not show up within 12 days after shipment in the USA or within 45 days after shipment internationally, we will need to file an insurance claim which we will send to you.  Once filed, we will send a new order to you.
