Shipping, Return, and Cancellation Policy

 

Shipping Options

• Customer Pickup at 255 Air Tool Dr #2164, Southern Pines, NC 28387. Customers will be offered free pickup at the CC main office and warehouse if the shipping address zip code is between 27242-28394. If you select customer pickup as your shipping option, please look for an email stating your order is ready for pickup before driving to the CC office. Please allow regular processing times for Customer Pickup.

 

• Priority Mail via US Postal Service. Requires mailing address (street or post office box) for shipping. Priority Mail does not qualify for free shipping unless the package is shipping to a military base. Priority Mail is advertised as 2–3 days for delivery; some customers have reported experiences of 4–5 days. Please remember, choosing Priority Mail Shipping is choosing a faster shipping method. This does not speed up the charging or processing time. Choosing Priority Mail Shipping does not guarantee the order will go to the Shipping Department the same day it is placed.

• 3-5 Day Shipping. This shipping option will typically result with orders being delivered within 3-5 days of U.S. orders being processed. The rate charged will be the actual rate from the carrier, based on the distance from our warehouse in Southern Pines, NC, and the weight of the order.

 

• 5-8 Day Shipping. This shipping option will typically result with orders being delivered within 5-8 days of U.S. orders being processed. The rate charged will be the actual rate from the carrier, based on the distance from our warehouse in Southern Pines, NC, and the weight of the order. 5-8 Day Shipping is FREE for online orders totaling $175 of shippable items.[3][4] Free shipping may only apply when 5-8 Day Shipping is chosen and the product order is $175 or more, excluding IEW products, or a free shipping coupon is applied, or we are holding a free shipping sale.

• UPS Overnight and Second Day Air Shipping. Overnight means the package will arrive at your designation one day after the order leaves our warehouse. Second Day Air means that the package will take two days to arrive at your address after it leaves our warehouse. UPS does not consider Saturday or Sunday in the calculation of "two days" or "overnight," nor do they consider the day it leaves our warehouse as a traveling day for Second Day Air. Choosing UPS Second Day Air or Overnight Shipping does not guarantee the order will go to the Shipping Department the same day it is placed.

NOTE: Delays of up to three days can occur if the billing information does not match exactly what the bank has on file for the credit card used for payment, or if the name of the Essentials Director is omitted when ordering an Essentials Curriculum.

International Shipping Policy

All international orders will be put on hold by Order Processing for 1 business day before releasing for shipment.

Once the order has left the warehouse, any cancellation or return shipping costs for the following reasons are the responsibility of the customer:

1. Customer has changed their mind for personal reasons
2. Customer cancels due to their country’s customs fees/taxes
3. Any other reason that we do not have control over
4. Even if there was a free shipping code or discount code offered

The international shipping options and estimated times are as follows:

UPS Worldwide Shipping Method	Transit Time
UPS Worldwide Economy	5–8 days
UPS Expedited	3–5 days

Classical Conversations-branded products on back order will ship via the original method chosen by the customer. Other vendor products on back order will ship via UPS SurePost. If you have a Classical Conversations-branded product and a vendor product on back order and they can be shipped together, we will use the original shipping method as chosen by the customer.

Damaged & Defective Materials 

We do our best to ensure all our packages and materials arrive in good condition. Despite our best efforts, sometimes materials can arrive damaged or defective. We recommend that you review your packages and materials upon receiving them and email Customer Service at customerservice@classicalconversations.com within 90 days of your purchase.

Shipping Your Return

Please pack your return securely so that there is not an opportunity for the product(s) to slide around. If there are spiral bound products, please pack them with the spiral bindings on alternating side.

When shipping the box(es) back, please choose one of the following methods:

• UPS
• USPS
• 1st Class

Please DO NOT select Media Mail. Media Mail can be significantly slower, it is not insured and it may be inspected which can lead to the packaging not retaining its structural integrity. Returns sent through Media Mail will be rejected and returned to the sender.

Occasionally some packages do not arrive to their intended destination as planned. Customer Service will assist where we are able.

Damaged Customer Returns: We will contact you via email or phone to let you know the condition we received the package and discuss return or refund options. If your package is insured, please let us know so we can provide information for a claim.

Lost Returns: We recommend reaching out to the mail provider used to send the package to us. 

Returned to Sender: Should your package come back to us Return to Sender, we will need to collect postage due fees before we can reship the package. If you no longer need the package, these fees will be deducted from the refund, if applicable.

Return Process Time

Returns are processed in the order they are received. Please allow 1-2 weeks for entering and processing refunds on your return.  During the months of July through October we receive a high volume of returns, which may cause some delays in processing. You will receive an email once your return is processed and your refund credit is complete.
