Sacred Medicine Sanctuary tries to accommodate the shipping requirements of both domestic and foreign practitioners. Generally, orders under four pounds are sent by post and everything else, because of insurance and weight, by Federal Express.
Domestic Shipments
Post
Media Mail: for books and recorded material. Please
do not use this option for anything else.
First Class: for very light weight boxes,
usually single items under 13 oz. in weight.
Priority Mail: for small shipments requiring
delivery within 2-3 days.
FedEx
Ground: usually overnight to Washington,
Oregon, and Northern California and a week to the East Coast.
Super Saver: guaranteed within three
business days.
Two Day: delivered in two business days
for orders placed by 11 am Pacific Time.
Overnight: orders must be received by
11 am so that requests for service can be placed.
International Shipments
We try to meet all customs requirements of the recipient, but ultimate responsibility for determining the relevant regulations for each country rests with the purchaser. We cannot ship herbs to Austria, Russia, or Spain. People in those countries who wish our products should arrange delivery through another EU country, such as England or Holland.
Customs duties are to be paid by the recipient. If there are any questions at all about foreign shipments, please contact Sacred Medicine before submitting your order.
Post
This option is used for packages under four pounds in weight. The parcels are sent without insurance or tracking and usually take 4-7 days. We will not take the risk of shipping larger orders by post
FedEx
We use International Priority. It is sometimes overnight to places like London and even Tokyo but it can also take a week. Rates vary tremendously, not just country to country but rural areas can be astronomically higher than large metropolitan delivery addresses. In most cases, shipments are cleared through customs from computers on the planes so delivery can be very quick, but if shipments do get tangled up in customs, delays of several days can occur.
