Shipping Policy
Effective Date: June 1, 2026 Last Updated: June 1, 2026
Elite Blade & Self Defense strives to process and ship orders accurately and promptly. This Shipping Policy explains our shipping practices, delivery expectations, restrictions, and responsibilities.
1. Order Processing
Orders are generally processed after payment has been successfully authorized and any required order verification has been completed.
Processing times may vary depending on:
Product availability;
Order volume;
Age or eligibility verification;
Fraud or payment verification;
Shipping restrictions;
Weekends and holidays; and
Other circumstances affecting order processing.
An order confirmation does not guarantee that an order has been accepted or will ship. We reserve the right to cancel or refuse an order when necessary, including when a product cannot legally or safely be shipped to the destination.
2. Shipping Times
Estimated delivery times are provided for convenience and are not guaranteed unless expressly stated otherwise.
Once an order has been transferred to the carrier, delivery times are controlled primarily by the carrier.
Delays may occur because of:
Carrier disruptions;
Severe weather;
Natural disasters;
Holidays;
Incorrect or incomplete addresses;
Customs processing;
Government actions;
Security or verification requirements; or
Other circumstances beyond our reasonable control.
3. Shipping Charges
Applicable shipping charges will generally be displayed during checkout before an order is completed.
Shipping charges may vary based on destination, package size, weight, shipping method, and other factors.
Any applicable taxes, duties, customs charges, or other fees may be additional.
4. Shipping Address
Customers are responsible for providing a complete and accurate shipping address.
Please carefully review your address before submitting an order.
If an order has not yet shipped, contact us as soon as possible if you need to correct an address. We cannot guarantee that an address can be changed after an order has entered processing or been shipped.
We are not responsible for delays, additional charges, or losses resulting from an incorrect or incomplete shipping address provided by the customer.
5. Tracking
When available, tracking information may be provided after an order has been shipped.
Tracking information is supplied by the applicable carrier and may not update immediately after shipment.
If tracking indicates that a package has been delivered but you cannot locate it, please first check the delivery location and contact the carrier. You may also contact us so we can assist where reasonably possible.
6. Lost, Stolen, or Missing Packages
If a carrier reports that a package was delivered but you did not receive it, contact the carrier promptly and notify us.
We may request additional information or documentation before determining an appropriate resolution.
Elite Blade & Self Defense is not automatically responsible for packages that are reported as delivered by the carrier, including packages left at the delivery address.
We may assist with carrier claims where appropriate.
7. Damaged Packages
Please inspect your package promptly after delivery.
If a package arrives visibly damaged or appears to have been tampered with, photograph the packaging and product and contact us as soon as reasonably possible.
We may request photographs, packaging information, tracking information, or other documentation to evaluate the issue.
8. Incorrect or Missing Items
If you receive the wrong product or an item is missing from your order, contact us promptly.
Please provide your order number and, when requested, photographs of the received products and packaging.
We will review the issue and determine an appropriate resolution.
9. Restricted Products
Certain knives, self-defense products, weapons-related products, or other items may be subject to federal, state, local, carrier, or destination-specific restrictions.
A product being available for purchase on our website does not mean that the product is legal to purchase, possess, carry, transport, or receive in every location.
We may refuse, cancel, or modify an order if we determine that shipping the product to the destination may violate applicable law, carrier requirements, or our policies.
Customers are responsible for knowing and complying with applicable laws and restrictions in their jurisdiction.
10. Age and Eligibility Verification
Some products may require age or eligibility verification before shipment.
If required verification cannot be completed, we may cancel the order and issue an applicable refund.
Additional information may be requested before an order is shipped.
11. International Shipping
International shipping may be available only for selected products and destinations.
Customers are responsible for determining whether products may legally be imported into and possessed in their destination country.
International orders may be subject to:
Import restrictions;
Customs requirements;
Duties and taxes;
Brokerage charges;
Carrier restrictions;
Additional documentation; and
Other destination-country requirements.
Elite Blade & Self Defense does not guarantee that a product sold in the United States may legally be imported or possessed in another country.
We reserve the right to refuse or cancel international orders when applicable restrictions prevent shipment.
12. Customs and Import Charges
For international orders, the recipient may be responsible for customs duties, import taxes, brokerage fees, or other charges imposed by the destination country.
These charges are generally separate from the purchase price and shipping charge collected by Elite Blade & Self Defense.
We are not responsible for delays caused by customs authorities.
13. Refused or Undeliverable Packages
If a package is refused, returned, or determined to be undeliverable because of an incorrect address, failure to receive the package, refusal by the recipient, or another customer-related issue, additional shipping costs may apply.
Any refund will be handled in accordance with our Refund Policy and applicable law.
14. Order Cancellation Before Shipment
If you wish to cancel an order, contact us as soon as possible.
We will make reasonable efforts to accommodate cancellation requests received before an order enters shipment processing.
Once an order has shipped, cancellation may no longer be possible and the customer may need to follow our Refund Policy.
Certain orders may not be cancellable because of legal, verification, fraud-prevention, or fulfillment requirements.
15. Carrier Delays and Events Beyond Our Control
We are not responsible for shipping delays caused by circumstances outside our reasonable control, including severe weather, natural disasters, carrier interruptions, labor disruptions, governmental actions, customs delays, transportation disruptions, or other force majeure events.
We will make reasonable efforts to assist customers when such circumstances occur.
