Shipping & Returns

100% total satisfaction is our only priority. We focus on making your order right, but if there is ANY problem, let's work together to make it right.

All items are individually hand crafted and are shipped United States Postal Service (USPS) directly from Imperial Penworks LLC, Kathleen, GA.  We will ship to APO/FPO addresses, Canadian and Australian addresses. Otherwise, we DO NOT ship outside of the United States. Cost of shipping and handling will be calculated by your shipping address postal code and method of shipment, then added to your invoice.

Most orders are shipped complete within 5 - 10 business days of confirmed receipt of payment. Custom Order Items ship within 1 - 3 weeks from the date of confirmed payment, dependent upon special materials required. Delivery can vary based on your distance from the manufacturer, so please allow for up to 2 weeks for delivery. If for any reason, there is a delay in processing your order, you will be contacted by email.

If you require a rush order, those shipping options are available for selection at checkout. If you still have questions, please email us at contactus.imperialpenworks@comsouth.net or call us at 1-478-238-3710 to discuss special arrangements.  We will do everything possible for you!
