Reliable Shipping: Understanding ShipTime's Money-Back Guarantee


Guarantee shipments carry a money-back guarantee. This service includes a delivery date provided by the courier that indicates the guaranteed arrival date. However, neither ShipTime nor the courier can guarantee that a shipment will not encounter delays in transit. 


In the event of a delivery delay should the shipment arrive after the applicable guaranteed delivery time on the applicable guaranteed delivery day, customers may request a refund for the cost of transportation for your shipment. Shipment guarantees only apply to delays within the courier’s control. 


Pickups are not guaranteed and all shipments are subject to the terms and conditions.


Be sure to check the Service Options when choosing a courier. ShipTime makes it easy to see which services are guaranteed.
