International Shipping
Cardboard Safari ships world-wide using the US Postal Service as it is the most cost effective and least amount of trouble for us and the customer. Our shopping cart automatically calculates shipping costs to your location. Select the items you want to purchase, add them to the shopping cart, enter your address information and the shipping rates and payment options are presented to you. It’s that simple.<br>
When ordering multiple items the shipping rate may appear higher than it should be as the shipping box weight is added for each item. The actual package is weighed before shipping and we refund any shipping overage that might occur due to multiple item shipments. We never add additional fees to the shipping cost so you know you are paying the lowest rate.<br>
You can save the shipping costs buying our products from a local retailer, check our <a href="http://www.cardboardsafari.com/shop/page.php?&pid=6">retail stores page</a> for a shop near you.<br>
If no shop is listed in your area please contact your favorite local shop and ask that they stock our products.
