Shipping policy
Last updated: August 17, 2025
Processing Times
- In-stock items: Typically 1–7 business days to pack and ship.
- Drops/launch days: May take up to 5 business days due to volume.
- Pre-orders: Ship on or around the date listed on the product page (orders containing pre-order and in-stock items may ship together on the pre-order date unless you choose split shipping at checkout).
Shipping Rates & Methods
- Domestic (USA): Real-time rates shown at checkout (economy, standard, expedited options when available).
- International: Rates and carriers shown at checkout. Duties/VAT/taxes are paid by the customer to the carrier/government when due.
Order Tracking
- You’ll receive a tracking email when your label is created.
- Tracking may take 24–48 hours to update after the package is scanned.
Address Changes & Delivery Issues
- Enter your shipping address carefully—we ship to the address provided at checkout.
- If you notice a mistake, email info@mukrat.com immediately with your order number and the correct address. If the order has shipped, we can’t reroute most packages.
- If tracking shows Delivered but you don't have the parcel:
- Check with neighbors/front desk and look for alternate drop spots;
- Wait 24 hours—carriers sometimes mark early;
- Contact the carrier to open a trace;
- Email us with the case number.
We aren’t liable for packages after a carrier confirms delivery, but we’ll help where we can.
Split Shipments
- We may ship items separately to speed things up. You’ll receive separate tracking if that happens. You won’t be charged extra shipping for split shipments we initiate.
Customs, Duties & Taxes (International)
- Import fees are not included in our prices or shipping rates unless explicitly stated.
- Refused/returned international parcels due to unpaid fees will be refunded minus original shipping once received back in acceptable condition.
Damaged or Missing Items
- If your order arrives damaged or an item is missing, email info@mukrat.com within 7 days of delivery with your order number and clear photos of the packaging and item. We’ll make it right.
PO Boxes & APO/FPO
- PO Boxes: Supported for USPS services. Some carriers cannot deliver to PO Boxes.
- APO/FPO/DPO: We ship via eligible USPS services where available.
Sustainability & Packaging
- We aim to use right-sized packaging and recycled or recyclable materials whenever possible. You may receive reused boxes—less pretty, more planet.
Cancellations
- We can cancel an order before it ships. Once a label is created or the order has been handed to the carrier, it can no longer be canceled.
Returns & Exchanges (Quick Reference)
- Returns/exchanges accepted within 7 days of delivery; customer pays return shipping; no restocking fee; no “final sale” items. Minor printing/dye variations are normal and not defects. See our full Returns & Refunds Policy for details.
