When will I receive my order?
When you will receive your order depends on several factors:
- When your order is shipped: (see “When will my order be shipped?”)
- The shipping method selected: (see “What shipping methods are available?”)
- Your shipping address: Remember that most orders are being shipped from
Beaverton (suburban Portland) Oregon 97005. The further the shipping
address, the longer your order may take to arrive (unless expedited shipping
methods are selected).
- Day of week that you place your order/Holiday Orders: If you place an order on a weekend
or holiday, it will be shipped the following business day. Keep in mind that if an order is submitted
on Friday evening, it will not be shipped until Monday (Tuesday, if Monday is a holiday).
When calculating shipping time, keep in mind, the day your order is shipped does not count as a
day (nor do Sundays and holidays). In addition, Saturdays are not included in UPS calculations.
- Drop Shipments: Some
items will be drop shipped from the manufacturer or distributor. Typically,
you will know that an item will be drop shipped when its item number ends with
“-DS”.
When an item is being drop shipped, the length of time that it takes to arrive via ground shipping changes based on company’s location
(time-in-transit for expedited shipping methods is not affected by location.)

Do you ship to Post Office Boxes?
If you select "Standard Shipping" your order may be shipped to a Post Office
Box. All other shipping options require a physical street address.

Can I track my order?
When you select "Standard Shipping" you will be provided with a USPS Priority Mail delivery confirmation number via email. This allows for online confirmation of delivery, but does not provide in-route tracking.
For basic tracking, you should select "Express Shipping".
If you must have point-to-point tracking, you should select one of the UPS shipping options.

Do you ship to foreign countries?
International Customers (outside U.S.A.) — No, we do not ship
to addresses outside the United States of America.
Warning about warranties and/or defective products. Do you reside outside
the United States of America, and plan to place an order using a package and
parcel forwarding company with a U.S. address?

What about customs fees, duties, excise taxes, or tariffs?
The Watch Prince does not ship to addresses outside the United States of
America (see above). Individuals residing outside the U.S., and planning to make
purchases using U.S. shipping addresses, are responsible for any fees, duties, taxes, or tariffs assessed by the governments of international purchasers.
Any and all taxes, duties, tariffs, or other import fees are the responsibility of the purchaser.
to all International purchasers: It is a violation of international trade laws for a merchant to mark a purchased item as a gift in order to avoid taxes, fees, or tariffs. The Watch Prince cannot accommodate such requests. Nor can we send an invoice showing a purchase price less than the actual order amount.
to Canadian purchasers: For additional information, view “A Guide for Canadian Consumers”.
