Shpping and Pricing

PLEASE CHECK YOUR SHIPPING INFORMATION BEFORE SUBMITTING YOUR ORDER! Address corrections and returned shipments incur charges that WILL be passed on to you if the correction is a result of a mistake in the shipping information given. 
 
UPDATE: SHIPPING METHODS AND PRICING:
          Leavitt & Peirce now offers USPS shipping on all packages that contain NO chewing tobaccos or snuff (Shipments of cigarettes, small filtered cigars, cigarette tobaccos and smokeless tobaccos are banned via the USPS). Most packages ship via USPS Ground Advantage with a 2-5 day transit time, but please contact us via a note in your "shopping cart" under "Add note to seller", or through our contact page or email at info@leavitt-peirce.com if you'd like to use a faster or alternative shipping service.

          Our USPS shipping costs are assessed on a sliding scale according to the cost of goods sold before tax, where: 
 
          orders with goods costing from $0 - $24.99 (before tax) cost $6.15 to ship,
          orders with goods costing from $25 - $49.99 (before tax) cost $7.15 to ship,
          and orders with goods costing $50 or more (before tax) cost $8.15 to ship.

          USPS shipments do not require a signature to be accepted, and all shipments come with $100 worth of free insurance. If you'd like to insure your shipment for more that $100, please let us know in your "shopping cart" under "Add note to seller", or contact us at our contact page or at info@leavitt-peirce.com and we can add full coverage for 1-2 more dollars.
 
          Due to USPS regulations on shipping smokeless tobaccos, all smokeless tobaccos (moist & dry snuffs and chewing tobaccos) must be shipped via the UPS, and will require an adult (21 or older, not necessarily the addressee) to sign for the package and show a government issued photo ID. Due to the signature requirement, shipments with moist or dry snuffs or chewing tobaccos will incur a $6.70 adult signature fee on top of UPS pricing. Please be advised that UPS pricing WILL NOT show in your online shopping cart, but will be added to your order manually before your order ships. Due to the same USPS restrictions on shipping moist or dry snuffs or chewing tobaccos, moist or dry snuffs or chewing tobaccos cannot be shipped to P.O. boxes.

 
           All shipments come with a USPS or UPS tracking number which can be entered at www.usps.com or www.ups.com to track your package. If for any reason we don't provide you with a tracking number, please contact us at (617) 547-0576, or email us at info@leavitt-peirce.com, and we'll get it to you ASAP.
