We will send using these companies at your request, however, we have had equal success and failure using these companies. We love that these are cheaper for you. We don’t love that some parcels are lost, damaged, or returned here for no reason.  It is your responsibility to follow any tracking, and should the parcel suffer damage, breakage, or not arrive in the condition you expect, you take all responsibility for following up any insurance and refund system.
