Shipping Costs and Information

Shipping Information
We ship quickly! Most items go out by the next business day. Items shipped directly from the manufacturer (these are noted in the description) may take 4-6 weeks for delivery, so order early or contact us for availability and approximate delivery date. We can sometimes expedite delivery. Please include a street address to ensure prompt delivery. Items ordered together are not necessarily shipped at the same time, although in most cases we strive to include everything in one package.

Our standard shipping method to the 48 contiguous states is UPS Ground. We may choose to use an alternate carrier, however.

Shipments to Alaska, Hawaii, Puerto Rico, and APO/FPO go via the US Postal Service. We may require additional shipping costs to these regions on certain items - we will contact you if there is a need for additional charges. Express shipping to these regions is on a case by case basis. Please email us, service@playfairtoys.com , or call us at 1-800-824-7255, if you need to arrange for faster delivery.

Local Customers: Avoid the crowds and shop online! There is no charge for in-store pickup on orders of $75 or more, and only a $5 handling fee for orders under $75. Just select in-store pickup as your shipping choice at checkout, and we will have your purchase ready for pickup at Boulder location by the next business day. Please be sure to allow one full business day for in-store order processing. Items that ship directly from the manufacturer are not available for in-store pickup option. If you order these items, shipping will be added to your order at a later time. Please call us at 800-824-7255 if you have any questions about this policy. Back

International Purchasing and Shipping
At this time we have chosen to limit international shipments to Canada only. However due to technical constraints, we cannot process Canadian shipments through this website. Please call us at 1-800-824-7255 to order. We ship via UPS Ground to most Canadian regions. We cannot accept credit card payments from banks outside the US and Canada.
