Your shipping rate is determined by the weight and destination of the order.
If you have received a shipping notification, August is unable to make any changes to your order.
August is unable to combine orders or add items to orders.
Customers are responsible for their own return shipping.
August sometimes undergoes periods of high order volume where shipping times can exceed the two business day window.
