General Shipping Information
(Updated November 14, 2025)
Your satisfaction is our top priority. Once your order is placed, we aim to ship it out within three business days of receipt. You will receive a confirmation e-mail from us when your order has been placed, and you will receive a second e-mail with tracking details once your order has shipped. Tracking pages may take 24 to 48 hours to update. (Sometimes our tracking e-mails end up in Spam or Junk Mail e-mail folders, so make sure you are checking those as well.)

U.S. Shipping Policies
Our domestic (U.S.) orders are shipped via either US Postal Service Ground Advantage (formerly First-Class Package) or US Postal Service Priority Mail. Orders ship out from Minnesota, so depending on where you live in the U.S., you will receive your package within 1-8 days of mailing. For more details, visit the USPS website, here.
International Shipping Policies
About Customs: All of our shipments originate from the United States. In most cases, International buyers must pay duty and import tax on their package to their local authority before the parcel can be delivered. Because customs policy varies by country, it is not possible for us to collect these monies at the time of purchase—we have no way of paying your government. Customs duties are not a “hidden” shipping charge, and none of the duty and import taxes you may be charged are paid back to Brickstuff—they are paid to your local government.
These duties and import taxes may be expensive, and may add up to more than half the cost of your entire purchase. You may also be required to pay these duties and import taxes in cash, or to pay in person at your local postal office. Please take time to research and understand the duty and import taxes your country imposes on shipments from the United States before placing your order. All duties and import taxes are the responsibility of the buyer.
We will not undervalue shipments or list them in a category other than "Merchandise" when shipping. Please do not ask us to do this-- it is illegal.
Mandatory Expedited International Shipping: For a few countries and regions, we require that all packages be shipped using an available expedited service with UPS or FedEx. Due to packages being lost in the past when sent to these countries/regions, we have had to take this step as these carriers provide enhanced tracking and are less likely to be tampered with by foreign postal systems.
Special Note on International Tracking: All international customers have the option of selecting UPS/FedEx for shipping. While these are a more costly shipping option, they do provide enhanced tracking details and better traceability – plus the packages can arrive much more quickly depending on where you live. If you do not select UPS/FedEx for your shipping option, your ability to track your package may be limited once the package leaves the United States.
Simple Export: For International orders not shipped using an Expedited service, we offer Simple Export, which provides enhanced tracking door-to-door for more than 50 countries.

What If My Package Doesn't Arrive?
If your package appears to be lost during shipping, please check the tracking if available, and allow up to 30 days before reporting it missing. With Covid-19 delays, some international packages may take longer, however after 30 days, we may be able to file a search or claim with the carrier.
If you get a notice that the package has been delivered, but cannot find it, please check with neighbors, with your building manager if you live in an apartment, etc. If it is still missing and you are in the United States, please contact your local Post Office. If you are outside the United States, please contact us using our Contact Form as soon as possible so we can have the carrier initiate a search. We will let you know the results and how to proceed.
Depending on the situation, additional supporting information and confirmation of non-delivery may be required from you in writing. Once we have collected all of the required information, we will make every effort to obtain reimbursement for lost packages, which then allows us to send you a replacement.
