If this fee is incurred by Guardian Survival Gear, we will be passing it onto you unless the error was made on our part.

We ship all orders (containing less than 10 Survival Kits) out within 2-5 business days. We often are able to make same day shipments for no additional charge. Sometimes shortages may occur with products. If there are circumstances where we do not have an item to fulfill an order, we will notify the customer or distributor by the next business day. We will either ship the products we do have and then make a second shipment for the missing items as soon as we receive them, or we will wait to ship the entire order together to lower the shipping charges. Please note that it is rare that this will occur but uncontrollable circumstances may cause shortages.

All risk of loss shall pass to Buyer upon delivery to carrier (normally UPS). Buyer shall be responsible for obtaining insurance if desired. Shipments going to Canada will have an additional customs charge not handled by Guardian Survival Gear.
