SALES TAX AND CUSTOMS INFORMATION

Sales Tax
We will not collect sales tax unless the order is placed to ship to a Pennsylvania address. The customer is responsible for all taxes and assessments for orders shipping to any other state or locality.

If your organization holds a valid sales tax exemption permit for Pennsylvania, please contact Customer Care for assistance.

Customs and Import Duties
You understand and agree that non-US orders for physical products may be subject to import duties and taxes for any orders placed through PimsleurApproach.com. You are responsible for any additional customs clearance fees and taxes. Refusal to pay these fees will result in the carrier abandoning the package and you will be responsible for the cost of the merchandise. We will indicate the contents of the package as Educational Material and will state the full cost of the invoice on the shipping documents. PimsleurApproach.com has no control over these additional charges and cannot predict what they may be. You should contact your local customs office for additional information. The recipient's name is indicated as the importer of record for any pertinent shipping documents. The importer of record is responsible for the shipment and must comply with all regulations and laws for the country in which you are receiving the goods. If your order is seized in customs due to violation of any laws we will not refund the cost of your order or shipping charges.

SHIPPING INFORMATION

Please note that we do not ship on weekends or holidays and only offer weekday delivery.

Our preferred carrier for all shipments is the the U.S. Postal Service. For expedited service, such as Next Day or Second Day service, we use UPS. Unless indicated otherwise, a shipping and handling fee is applied to all orders. The shipping and handling cost is a non-negotiable flat rate fee that covers the cost of postage as well as handling and packaging costs. If a delivery is refused by the customer without authorization from Internet Order LLC, a fee for return shipment and/or a restocking fee may be applied to any subsequent request for a refund. Whenever possible, if you have opted to provide us with your e-mail address, we will send you a confirmation e-mail with a tracking number, if available, once your order is mailed from our warehouse.

Availability

Usually ships next business day
Your order will usually ship the next business day if it is placed by midnight Eastern Time.

Item is on order
This product is not currently in stock at any of our warehouse locations. We have ordered the product from our supplier and expect to be able to ship your product soon. We will ship your item as soon as possible, and update you on the status of your order via e-mail.

Item is on backorder
This product is not currently in stock at any of our warehouse locations. We have ordered the product from our supplier, but have not received a date yet as to when we will receive this product. We will update you on the status of your order via e-mail. You will not be billed until your order ships. Please note: If you wish to cancel a backordered item, you must do by calling us. Orders cannot be cancelled via e-mail.

Shipping Times

All delivery times are in addition to the availability of the order, except for telephone orders. Telephone orders for expedited shipping that are placed by 3 PM Eastern Time will be processed the same day.

Standard Delivery - Up to 2 weeks.

Rush delivery - 5 to 7 business days.

UPS 2-Day Air - 2 business days for delivery to a business; 3 business days for residential delivery. Alaska and Hawaii will take up to 3 business days. (These delivery times are specified by UPS.)

UPS Next Day Air - Will be delivered by the close of business on the next business day after the order has been received into our system. In most cases, orders placed on Friday after 3 p.m. Eastern Time will be delivered the following Tuesday.

When will your order arrive?
To calculate when you will receive an item, you need to consider the availability of the items you are ordering as well as the shipping option you select. Here's the equation we use:

Item Availability + Shipping Time = Total Delivery Time

For example, if an item is available to ship on the next business day and the shipping time will be 5-7 business days, your total delivery time will be 1 day (availability) + 5 to 7 days (shipping time). So you can expect to receive this item at your front door in about 6 to 8 days after you have placed your order.

Products With Different Availability In The Same Order
Orders are shipped together. You should use the longest availability time in calculating the arrival time of your order.
