Shipping

We may offer free shipping days and coupons, so be sure to check your email or our social media so you don’t miss out!

Q: How soon does my order ship when I place it?

A: All orders will be processed and shipped within 24-48 hours of completing your order. We ship during regular business hours, Monday-Friday. All orders placed Friday after 11am will go out on the following Monday. We are closed all major holidays so please expect a 24 hour delay.

If you need us to process your order sooner, we do offer an “Expedited Processing” fee at checkout. This will bump your order to the front of the queue and get it processed quickly. This does not affect the shipping time, merely the processing time.

Q: Do you offer shipping insurance?

A: Yes, we offer shipping insurance on every order. At checkout, you will be able to add insurance to your order for a small fee. Should your package get lost or stolen, please reach out to us at sales@theleatherguy.org with your order number and we can start a claim. Claim processes can take 7-10 days from start to finish.

Q: My Order is missing, what do I do?

A: If you believe your package is lost or stolen, get in touch with UPS or USPS immediately and give them your tracking information. They have several ways to find out where your package was last scanned and may be able to find it for you! It is not uncommon for USPS packages to be scanned as delivered and then show up the next day.

Unfortunately, we cannot do anything once the package has left our shop, and your local delivery persons are your best first contact. Please understand we are a small company and are willing to assist you in dealing with the carrier, however we cannot replace or issue refunds for lost or stolen items unless you purchased shipping insurance at checkout.

It is your responsibility to ensure you’re getting packages sent to safe and secure locations, and that you are double checking that the correct address is entered at time of order. With package theft on the rise, we are needing to ask that consumers take a more active role in finding lost packages. If you believe your package was stolen, please file a police report.
