Shipping Policy

At Awful Lot Of Cough Syrup, we are committed to getting your order to you as quickly and safely as possible. Please read this Shipping Policy carefully before placing your order so you understand our process, timelines, and responsibilities.

01

Shipping Overview

At awfullotofcoughsyrupshop.com, we take pride in fulfilling every order with care and speed. We ship directly from our fulfillment center and partner with reliable international carriers to deliver your items safely, whether you’re ordering from across town or across the world.

All orders are subject to a processing period before they are handed over to our shipping partners. Once dispatched, you will receive full tracking information so you can follow your package every step of the way.

Please note: Shipping times listed on this page are estimates only and begin after your order has completed processing. Delivery dates are not guaranteed and may be subject to carrier delays, customs clearance, or other factors outside our control.

02

Order Processing Times

After a successful order is placed and payment is confirmed, our team begins preparing your package for dispatch. Processing is separate from shipping transit time.

  • Standard processing time is 2–4 business days from the date of payment confirmation.
  • Orders placed on weekends or public holidays will begin processing on the next available business day.
  • During major product drops, seasonal sales, or promotional events, processing times may extend slightly beyond the standard window. We will notify customers via email if delays are expected.
  • Once your order has been fully processed and dispatched, you will receive an automated shipping confirmation email with your tracking number.
If you have not received a shipping confirmation email within 5 business days of placing your order, please contact our support team before assuming an issue.

03

Estimated Delivery Times

Delivery timelines begin after your order has been fully processed and dispatched. The following are estimated transit times by region:

Domestic (United States)
  • Standard Shipping: 5–10 business days after dispatch
  • Express Shipping: 2–5 business days after dispatch
International
  • Standard International: 10–20 business days after dispatch
  • Express International: 5–10 business days after dispatch

Business days are Monday through Friday, excluding public holidays. These estimates are provided as a general guide and are not guaranteed delivery dates. Actual delivery times may vary depending on your location, the carrier, and any external factors such as customs processing or local postal delays.


04

Shipping Rates

Shipping fees are calculated automatically at checkout and are based on your delivery destination, the total weight of your order, and the shipping method you select.

  • All applicable shipping charges are displayed clearly at the checkout stage before you confirm your purchase — there are no hidden shipping fees.
  • Shipping rates may vary depending on the size, weight, and number of items in your order.
  • We occasionally offer free shipping promotions — check our website or subscribe to our newsletter to stay updated on current offers.

05

Our Shipping Carriers

We work with a number of trusted, globally recognized shipping carriers to ensure your orders are handled reliably from our warehouse to your door. The carrier assigned to your order may vary depending on your location and the shipping method selected at checkout.

  • Domestic U.S. orders are typically shipped via USPS, UPS, or FedEx.
  • International orders are shipped via DHL, FedEx International, or equivalent international postal carriers depending on the destination country.
  • Once your order is dispatched, the carrier name and tracking details will be included in your shipping confirmation email.

Please note that we are not responsible for delays, misdeliveries, or damages caused by third-party carriers once the package has left our facility.


06

Order Tracking

We believe in full transparency throughout the delivery journey. Here is everything you need to know about tracking your Awful Lot Of Cough Syrup order:

  • A tracking number will be emailed to you as soon as your order has been dispatched from our fulfillment center.
  • Please allow up to 48 hours after receiving your shipping confirmation for tracking information to become active in the carrier’s system.
  • You can track your order at any time by visiting our Track Your Order page and entering your tracking number.
  • If your tracking information has not updated within 72 hours of your dispatch confirmation, please contact us and we will investigate on your behalf.
Tracking updates may occasionally be delayed during weekends, public holidays, or during peak shipping periods. This does not necessarily indicate an issue with your delivery.

07

International Shipping & Customs

We proudly ship to customers across the globe. However, international orders are subject to customs regulations and import procedures that vary by country.

  • Customers outside the United States are responsible for any customs duties, import taxes, VAT, or brokerage fees imposed by their country’s customs authority upon delivery.
  • These charges are entirely separate from the shipping fee paid at checkout and are not included in your order total.
  • We are unable to predict or control what customs charges may apply in your country — please check with your local customs authority before ordering if you are unsure.
  • We will not be liable for any customs-related delays, confiscations, or additional charges incurred once the package has left our facility.
  • All packages are shipped with accurate customs declarations in compliance with international shipping laws. We do not undervalue packages or mark shipments as gifts to avoid customs fees.

08

Shipping Address Policy

It is the customer’s full responsibility to ensure that a correct and complete shipping address is provided at the time of checkout. Please double-check your address before submitting your order.

  • Awful Lot Of Cough Syrup is not liable for orders delivered to an incorrect address as a result of customer error.
  • If you notice an error in your address immediately after placing your order, contact us at [email protected] as soon as possible. We will do our best to update your address before the order is dispatched. Address changes cannot be made once the order has been shipped.
  • We are unable to redirect packages that are already in transit.
  • Packages returned to us due to an incorrect or incomplete address will require additional reshipping fees to be paid before the order can be resent.

09

Lost, Stolen & Damaged Packages

Lost Packages
  • If your tracking shows no movement for an extended period, or your package appears lost in transit, please contact us at [email protected].
  • All lost package claims must be submitted within 30 days of the estimated delivery date. We will open an investigation with the carrier on your behalf.
Stolen Packages (Marked as Delivered)
  • If your tracking shows your package as delivered but you have not received it, please first check around your property, with neighbors, and with any other household members before contacting us.
  • We recommend filing a report with your local postal service or carrier if theft is suspected. We will assist where possible but cannot be held responsible for packages stolen after confirmed delivery.
Damaged Packages
  • If your order arrives damaged, please photograph the packaging and the damaged item(s) immediately and email them to us at [email protected] within 7 days of delivery.
  • We will assess the situation and work to resolve the issue, which may include a replacement or refund depending on the circumstances.

10

Returned-to-Sender Orders

Occasionally, packages are returned to our facility by the carrier. This can happen for a number of reasons:

  • Incorrect or incomplete delivery address provided by the customer
  • Package refused at delivery
  • Failed delivery attempts with no one available to receive the package
  • Package held at customs and not collected within the required timeframe

If your order is returned to us, we will contact you via email. At that point, you will have the option to:

  • Reship the order — additional reshipping fees will apply and must be paid before the order is resent.
  • Receive a refund for the item(s) only — original shipping fees are non-refundable in returned-to-sender cases.

11

Delays & Force Majeure

While we do everything in our power to ensure timely delivery, certain circumstances are entirely beyond our control. Awful Lot Of Cough Syrup will not be held liable for shipping delays resulting from:

  • Carrier disruptions, strikes, or service interruptions
  • Customs holds or government-imposed import restrictions
  • Natural disasters, extreme weather events, or acts of God
  • Global pandemics, public health emergencies, or government lockdowns
  • National or public holidays affecting postal and carrier operations
  • High-volume shipping periods such as Black Friday, Christmas, or major sale events

In the event of significant delays caused by such circumstances, we will communicate proactively with affected customers and do our best to provide updated estimated timelines.
