SHIPPINGSHIPPING: Items shipped to locations in the continental United States are shipped via insured USPS mail and require a street address for shipment--no exceptions. Doll Avenue® has limited our shipping options to USPS Priority or Ground Advantage to assure our customers have the least problems receiving their orders. Once we receive your order and confirm your payment we will notify you by email that your shipment is on its way. We opt to choose the method of shipping based on our costs.
SHIPPING/HANDLING COSTS: Shipping charges will be calculated during the checkout process based on the following order totals. USPS Priority or Ground Advantage shipping includes insurance and delivery confirmation. *Most jewelry items and doll outfits can ship in a padded envelope.
