Order Confirmation

After you place an order, you will receive a confirmation email acknowledging that we've received your order and pre-authorized your card. We will then reach out to our manufacturers and suppliers to confirm that the item is in stock and available for shipment. If the item is unavailable for immediate shipment or is on backorder, we will notify you via email and offer the option to replace it with a similar item that is ready to ship. If the item is out of stock and you wish to cancel, you are eligible for a full refund to your original payment method. For items that are in stock and ready to ship within 7 business days, we will process your payment and ship your order.

Order Shipment

Orders that are confirmed in stock and charged to your card will be shipped within 7 business days. You will receive tracking information via email once your order leaves the warehouse. If you do not receive tracking details within 7 business days, please contact us at support@thecarnivaldepot.com, and we will assist you promptly.

Shipping Restrictions

Shipping is available within the 48 contiguous states of the United States, as indicated during the checkout process.

We offer free shipping on all orders over $500. For orders below $500, flat shipping rates will apply. Please feel free to reach out if you have any questions regarding shipping costs. 

Free shipping applies to dock-to-dock delivery at a commercial address. For residential delivery, an additional fee of $45 applies, with an optional lift gate service available for $85. If you require these services, please contact us in advance to ensure a smooth delivery process.

Address Changes

If you need to update your shipping address after an order has been processed or shipped, we will do our best to accommodate the change. Please note that delays may occur, and any additional costs incurred by freight carriers for address changes will be the responsibility of the customer.

Estimated Shipping Times

Transit times typically take 6-9 business days. Shipping time frames are estimates and may vary depending on location, brand and other factors like weather, shipping carrier delays, or unforeseen events. If an order is canceled due to a missed estimated delivery time frame, the customer may be responsible for any associated fees, including shipping and storage costs. We strongly advise customers to reach out to us directly for any shipping concerns or if a delay occurs.

Payment Timing

• Credit Cards: Charged upon shipment.
• Debit/Bank Cards: Pre-authorization at checkout; charges are finalized upon shipment.

Shipment Tracking

Once your order ships, you will receive an email with tracking details to monitor the progress of your package. If you encounter any issues or need assistance with tracking, please contact the carrier directly or email us at support@thecarnivaldepot.com.

Receiving Your Shipment

Before signing for your shipment, please ensure that you carefully inspect the entire delivery. Check for any missing items or damage to the products and packaging (such as tears or holes in boxes or shrink wrap). If you notice any issues, inform the driver, take photos, and make a clear note of the problem on the paperwork you sign. Please contact us immediately so we can address the issue and help resolve it.

Delays and Undelivered Packages

We are not responsible for delays caused by weather, courier issues, or other unforeseen circumstances. If an order fails to be delivered due to an incorrect address or recipient unavailability, additional fees may apply for reshipment. In such cases, please contact us immediately, and we will work with you to resolve the issue.

Lost or Stolen Packages

Once a package is marked as "delivered" by the carrier, we are no longer liable for any lost or stolen packages. If you have not received your package, despite it being marked as delivered, please reach out to the carrier or contact us at support@thecarnivaldepot.com for assistance.

Delivery Completion

Delivery is deemed complete once the courier marks the package as "delivered" to the address provided. Please ensure that the delivery address is secure to avoid any issues with undelivered or lost packages.
