*** ATTENTION NORTH CAROLINA RESIDENTS ***
North Carolina State Sales Tax will be added to your shipping bill once your shark is ready to ship.
Important:
* All SCO products are made to order and shipped in order of "Paid in Full" status. Please expect 20-60 days in most cases for your product to be hand-made and shipped. Feel free to contact us for the latest info on the progress of your order. All Sales are Final, SCO offers no refunds or returns for custom artwork.

Everyone hates having to pay for postage but it is unfortunately a necessary evil.
To reduce shipping costs for our customers, all shipping fees are determined on an individual basis. We also keep your costs to a minimum by "recycling" as many materials as possible, however, to ensure safety in shipping it is always necessary to buy additional packing materials. These sharks must arrive at their destination intact!
International Customers: Insurance is optional and you will need to notify us if you wish to insure your order.
If you would like an estimate before placing your order just contact us and we'll be glad to give you a quote. Please note that all quotes are estimates based on current rates -- Fuel charges change daily so shipping prices are adjusted frequently. We go to great lengths to make sure your shark is protected and delivered for as little expense as possible. We are also well-known to refund over-payments should rates decrease at the time of shipping.
* SHIPPING QUOTES are only quotes based on online software and can vary when actually entered at time of shipping.
