Shipping policy

Thank you for shopping with Third Stop Vintage! We carefully package every order to help ensure your items arrive safely.

Order Processing

Orders are typically processed and prepared for shipment within 1–2 business days after payment is received.

Business days are Monday through Friday, excluding federal holidays. Orders placed on weekends or holidays will begin processing on the next business day.

During sales, live events, holidays, or periods of unusually high order volume, processing may take slightly longer.

Shipping Destinations

We currently ship to addresses within the United States only.

At this time, we do not offer international shipping through our Shopify store.

Shipping Methods and Rates

Shipping charges are calculated during checkout using current live rates provided by the United States Postal Service (USPS). Rates are based on factors such as the package’s weight, dimensions, destination, and selected shipping service.

Our standard shipping option is:

USPS Ground Advantage

Customers may also choose an expedited shipping option when available:

USPS Priority Mail

Available shipping services, estimated delivery times, and current prices will be displayed during checkout.

Estimated Delivery Times

Once an order has been processed and accepted by USPS, estimated delivery times are generally:

USPS Ground Advantage: Approximately 2–5 business days
USPS Priority Mail: Approximately 1–3 business days

These delivery windows are estimates provided by USPS and are not guaranteed. Weather, holidays, service disruptions, and other circumstances outside our control may cause delays.

Selecting Priority Mail speeds up the shipping service but does not change our standard 1–2 business day order-processing time.

Tracking Information

Tracking information will be provided after your order has been packaged and a shipping label has been created.

Please allow time for USPS to receive and scan the package. Tracking information may not update immediately after the label is created.

Shipping Address Accuracy

Customers are responsible for entering a complete and accurate shipping address during checkout.

Please review your address carefully before submitting your order. Third Stop Vintage is not responsible for delivery delays, returned packages, or lost shipments caused by an incorrect or incomplete address provided by the customer.

Contact us as soon as possible if you notice an address error. We cannot guarantee that an address can be changed after an order has been processed or shipped.

Returned or Undeliverable Packages

If a package is returned to us because of an incorrect address, incomplete address, failed delivery attempt, refusal, or another issue outside our control, the customer may be responsible for any additional shipping charges required to resend the order.

Original shipping charges are nonrefundable once the package has been accepted by USPS.

Delayed or Missing Packages

After a package has been accepted by USPS, delivery and tracking updates are managed by the carrier.

If your tracking information shows that a package is delayed, please allow additional time for USPS to complete delivery. If the package appears to be significantly delayed or missing, contact us so we can help review the tracking information and determine the appropriate next steps.

Packages Marked as Delivered

If tracking shows that your package was delivered but you cannot locate it, please:

Check around your home, mailbox, porch, garage, or other possible delivery areas.
Ask household members or neighbors whether they accepted the package.
Contact your local USPS office or postal carrier.
Allow one additional business day, as some packages may be scanned as delivered shortly before arrival.

Please contact us if the package still cannot be located after completing these steps.
