Shipping policy
Domestic Shipping
At Hill Country Insider, our standard processing time is approximately 2-9 business days. Please note that this timeframe is an estimate and may vary due to factors such as supply chain issues, seasonal demand, or unforeseen circumstances.
Once your order is processed and shipped, standard domestic shipping typically takes an additional 3-7 business days. Shipping times may vary depending on the destination and other external factors. We primarily use USPS for our shipments, but we reserve the right to utilize other couriers as needed to ensure efficient delivery of your products.
International Shipping
For our Canadian customers, we offer free shipping on orders of $150 USD or more. For orders below this threshold, shipping rates will be calculated at checkout based on the order's weight and destination.
For customers in other international locations, shipping rates are calculated at checkout using our shipping calculator, which provides accurate costs based on your location and order details. If your country is not listed at checkout, please contact us, as we may be able to make special arrangements for delivery.
Delivery times for international orders can range from 7-21 business days, depending on the destination and customs processing. While we provide all necessary documentation for smooth customs clearance, any customs fees, import taxes, or duties are the responsibility of the customer and are not included in our shipping costs or product prices.
Shipping Methods and Order Processing
Hill Country Insider partners with reputable carriers, including USPS, UPS, and FedEx, to ensure safe and timely delivery of your wellness products. The specific carrier for your order may vary based on your location and selected shipping method.
Under normal circumstances, orders are processed within 1-2 business days. During peak seasons or special promotional periods, processing times may be slightly extended. We will keep you informed via email if there are significant delays in processing your order.
Once your order has shipped, you will receive a confirmation email with tracking information, allowing you to monitor your package's journey and anticipate its arrival.
Split Shipments: At our discretion, we may choose to ship items in your order separately, especially but not limited to personalized or custom-made products. In such cases, you may receive your items in multiple packages. We will cover any additional shipping costs associated with split shipments, so there is no added expense to you.
Product Care During Shipping
At Hill Country Insider, we prioritize the integrity of our products during transit. We carefully package items using tissue paper, bubble wrap, and envelopes or boxes, as deemed appropriate and to our discretion.
While we do not use special insulated packaging, please note that some makeup and/or wellness products, such as but not limited to creams, may experience "sweating," and liquid formulas may require gentle but consistent shaking upon receipt. Rest assured, these conditions do not affect the efficacy of the products. However, we advise against leaving packages or formulas in extreme temperatures, as such conditions can compromise formula integrity. Therefore, please choose your delivery location accordingly.
Address Accuracy and Special Requirements
To ensure timely and accurate delivery, please verify that the shipping address you provide is correct and complete. Hill Country Insider cannot be held responsible for packages that are undeliverable due to incorrect or incomplete address information.
We are pleased to inform you that we do ship to P.O. boxes.
Lost or Damaged Packages
In the unlikely event that your package is lost or damaged during transit, please contact us promptly. For domestic orders, we request that you reach out within 14 days of the expected delivery date. For international orders, please contact us within 30 days of the expected delivery date.
In addition to reaching out to us, you may also want to contact your local post office or courier for assistance. They may be able to provide information about the status of your package or help you locate it.
If your order includes shipping insurance, this can facilitate the claims process for lost or damaged packages. In such cases, we will assist you in filing a claim with the shipping carrier. Please retain all packaging materials and documentation, as they may be required for the claims process.
