Favorite Hobby currently ships to addresses within the United States.
Order Processing
Orders are generally processed and shipped within 1 to 3 business days after payment is received.
Business days exclude weekends and holidays.
If an unexpected circumstance prevents us from shipping within the timeframe communicated to you, we will provide updated information and any cancellation or refund options required by applicable law.
Shipping Options
Available shipping methods depend on the merchandise in your order, order value, quantity, weight, destination, and other eligibility requirements.
The shipping options available for your specific order are displayed during checkout.
Favorite Hobby currently offers a combination of economical letter-mail shipping and tracked USPS package services.
Economy Letter (Tracking Included)
Economy Letter is intended to make small purchases of inexpensive raw trading-card singles economical to ship.
Economy Letter is available only when all merchandise in the order consists of eligible raw trading-card singles and the order satisfies the eligibility requirements below.
For eligible orders:
1 to 3 cards: $1.99
4 to 14 cards: $2.99
Economy Letter is unavailable when:
- the order contains 15 or more cards;
- the post-discount merchandise value of the order exceeds $30;
- any individual card has an effective post-discount value greater than $20; or
- the order contains graded cards, sealed products, accessories, or other merchandise that is not eligible for Economy Letter.
Shipping charges and tax are not included when determining the $30 merchandise-value limit.
If an order does not qualify for Economy Letter, available tracked package options will be displayed instead.
Economy Letter Tracking Visibility
Economy Letter is sent as USPS First-Class Mail letter mail.
The tracking visibility used for Economy Letter is provided through an Intelligent Mail barcode and LetterTrack/Informed Visibility technology. It provides scan-based information as the mailpiece moves through USPS processing.
This is not the same service as USPS Tracking provided with a package. Tracking events can therefore be less detailed than package tracking, and every movement or delivery event is not guaranteed to produce a scan.
Economy Letter also does not include carrier-provided package insurance.
First-Class Mail delivery timing is an estimate and is not guaranteed.
Tracked Package Shipping
Orders that do not qualify for Economy Letter are shipped using available package services.
Depending on the order and destination, options may include:
- USPS Ground Advantage
- USPS Priority Mail
- USPS Priority Mail Express
Available rates and delivery estimates are shown at checkout.
Free Shipping
Qualifying U.S. orders with a post-discount merchandise value of $100 or more are eligible for Free Ground Advantage Shipping.
Taxes and shipping charges do not count toward the $100 merchandise threshold.
Delivery Estimates
Carrier delivery estimates begin after an order has been accepted into the carrier's network and are separate from Favorite Hobby's processing time.
Delivery dates are estimates unless the selected carrier service expressly provides a guaranteed commitment.
Weather, carrier disruptions, holidays, emergencies, and other circumstances outside our reasonable control can affect delivery times.
Delayed or Missing Shipments
If an order has not arrived when expected, please contact us at support@myfavoritehobby.shop.
For Economy Letter orders, we will review the available LetterTrack / USPS mail-visibility events and the circumstances of the shipment.
For package shipments, we will review the available carrier tracking information and, when appropriate, work with the carrier.
If merchandise does not arrive or arrives damaged, we will review the circumstances and provide an appropriate resolution consistent with our Refund / Return Policy and applicable law.
Packages Marked Delivered
If package tracking or Economy Letter visibility indicates delivery but you cannot locate the shipment, please contact us promptly.
We may ask you to check the delivery location, household members, neighbors, building management, mailbox, or carrier while we review the available information.
Shipping Address
Customers are responsible for providing a complete and accurate shipping address.
If you notice an error after placing an order, contact us as quickly as possible. We will make a reasonable effort to correct the address before fulfillment, but we cannot guarantee that an address can be changed once the order has entered the shipping process.
Additional shipping costs resulting from an incorrect address may be the customer's responsibility when the error was not caused by Favorite Hobby.
Returned or Undeliverable Shipments
If a shipment is returned to Favorite Hobby as undeliverable, refused, or because of an incorrect address, we will contact you when practical to determine the appropriate next step.
Additional shipping charges may apply before an order is reshipped when the delivery failure was not caused by Favorite Hobby.
Returns
Please review our Refund / Return Policy for information about eligible returns, damaged merchandise, incorrect orders, and refunds.
