Shipping Policy

About this policy

The Bacon Republic is operated by Joseph Schwartz, doing business as The Bacon Republic. This policy explains how orders placed on baconcollective.com or bacon-republic.com are made and shipped.

Where we ship

We ship within the 50 United States and the District of Columbia, including PO Boxes and APO/FPO addresses. We do not ship to U.S. territories or outside the United States at this time. An unsupported address may require review or cancellation even if it is initially accepted during payment.

Every item is made to order

We do not hold finished inventory. When an eligible paid order completes its 30-minute hold, it may be released to our U.S. fulfillment partner for printing and shipping. Production and transit are separate steps:

• Production: typically up to 7 business days after the order is released for fulfillment. Most orders finish sooner.
• Transit: typically 2 to 7 business days by USPS or UPS ground service, depending on location.

Timing

Business days are Monday through Friday, excluding U.S. federal holidays. All timeframes are estimates. We do not guarantee delivery by a specific date, so please order early for gifts or events.

Shipping charges

Shipping charges, if any, are shown before you pay. Sales tax is calculated at checkout where required by law.

• Orders of $50.00 or more after discounts and before tax: free standard shipping.
• Orders under $50.00: $4.99 flat standard shipping.
• An eligible promotional bundle includes free shipping only when that benefit is displayed as part of the active offer.

Order processing and cancellation window

After payment is completed, you have 30 minutes to request cancellation using Cancel order on your verified order-confirmation page in the same browser used for checkout. Check that page for confirmed cancellation and refund status. If unavailable, immediately email support@bacon-republic.com with your order number; requests emailed within the window remain eligible for a full refund. After the hold, an eligible paid order may be released for fulfillment and can no longer be cancelled or changed. See our Refund and Reprint Policy.

Tracking

Tracking may take 24 to 48 hours to update after the carrier’s first scan. Orders with multiple items may ship separately. When tracking or shipment notice is available, it may be provided through the order-status experience or an operational message. You may email support@bacon-republic.com with your order number to request available tracking details.

Address accuracy

Please check the shipping address carefully before completing payment. You are responsible for its accuracy. During the 30-minute hold, use Cancel order on your verified order-confirmation page if you need to cancel and reorder. If unavailable, email support@bacon-republic.com immediately. If a package is returned as undeliverable because of an incorrect or incomplete address, we will contact you and either reship it at your cost or refund the order less the original shipping charge and any return shipping cost charged to us.

Delayed or lost packages

Carrier delays sometimes happen and are outside our control. If tracking shows no delivery 7 days after the carrier’s estimated delivery date, email support@bacon-republic.com with your order number. We will open a trace and, if the carrier confirms the package is lost, reprint your order or refund it at your choice.

If tracking says “delivered” but you do not have the package, check with household members, neighbors, and your building’s mail area and allow 3 days; carriers sometimes scan packages before final delivery. If it still has not arrived, contact us within 7 days after the delivery scan and we will work with the carrier to resolve it.

Damaged in transit

Keep the packaging and contact us within 14 days after delivery with photos. See our Refund and Reprint Policy.
