Wiccan Way Shipping Questions
(United States)

Can you take your store name off the shipping label?

We understand that many of our customers do not want the delivery person or their roommates or their family members to see what kind of store their package is coming from. But because of the new anti-terrorist laws which went into effect after the September 11, 2001 tragedies, we are required by all shippers to put our return name and address on the shipping label. However, it is our COMPANY name, Dsaria International LLC, which displays on the label, not our STORE name. So all packages are shipped under our company name, Dsaria International LLC, which is a very generic sounding name and that helps keep prying eyes from knowing what's inside your package.

Can you ship my order in a plain box?

Absolutely! It is our standard shipping policy for ALL ORDERS to be shipped in plain brown boxes or plain Priority Mail boxes. We don't put any additional information on the boxes other than the required shipping label. Please see the previous question for information about what's included on our shipping label.

Do you have any Free Shipping available?

Yes, we do! All military orders shipping to APO/FPO addresses are eligible for free shipping.

In addition to our free shipping offer for APO/FPO addresses, if your product total is greater than $100.00 AND you are shipping it to one of the lower 48 states, it may qualify for free ground shipping.

What are your United States shipping policies?

Please see our United States shipping policies detailed on our Terms And Conditions page.

How much does shipping cost and how are shipping rates calculated?

Both UPS and USPS Shipping rates are primarily calculated based upon the weight of the package and the distance the package must travel from our location (Dallas, TX) to yours. In addition to those two factors, UPS also takes three additional factors into consideration when calculating shipping costs: 1) Whether or not the delivery is going to a residential address, 2) Whether the delivery address is in a UPS classified "remote area", and 3) The fluctuating cost of fuel (gas/diesel).

UPS defines a residential delivery as: ''A residential delivery is defined as delivery to a location that is a home, including a business operating out of a home, that does not have an entrance open to the public.'' Residential deliveries are assessed an additional charge which is added to the base shipping charge.

To find out if your delivery zip code is classified as a "remote area", you can view the latest UPS Area Surcharge Listing. The following table shows the factors which influence the charges based on the shipping method you choose:

	USPS Priority Mail	UPS
Weight	Yes	Yes
Distance	Yes	Yes
Residential Delivery Surcharge	No	Yes, UPS adds $2.20 - $2.50 per shipment if delivered to a residential address
Remote Area Surcharge	No	Yes, UPS adds $2.50 - $2.75 per shipment if delivered to a remote area
Fuel Surcharge	No	Yes, the amount added depends on current national fuel prices and can fluctuate daily

Your shipping charges at The Wiccan Way are automatically calculated prior to submitting your payment information so you will know exactly how much your order will cost before you finalize it. Simply add items to your shopping cart, enter your destination state and zip code on the shopping cart page and you'll be shown the shipping costs for the shipping methods available based on the items currently displayed in your cart.

When placing your order, keep these hints in mind to help reduce your shipping costs:

If you order from us regularly, order more items at a time. The first pound ALWAYS costs the most to ship, and any additional pounds are added into the shipping cost at a much lower rate.
If you ship using UPS, ship your order to a delivery address that UPS recognizes as a commercial address. (Home-based businesses ARE NOT classified as commercial addresses.)
Ship your order to a "non-remote" location (see the UPS link above) whenever possible.
Most times, USPS Priority Mail is the least expensive shipping method for packages which weigh 1-2 pounds. It is usually more economical to ship packages via UPS Ground when they weigh more than 1-2 pounds.

When will my order ship?
