Shipping - FAQ

Frequently asked questions related to shipping and delivery.

All orders are usually processed and shipped within 72 hours of the order being received.  Priority Mail orders are shipped within 24 hours of the order being received.

Standard mail typically takes 2-9 days and Priority Mail normally takes 1-3 days to be delivered; however, due to COVID-19, the USPS has issued an alert which states the following:  

DUE TO LIMITED TRANSPORTATION AVAILABILITY AS A RESULT OF NATIONWIDE COVID-19 IMPACTS, PACKAGE DELIVERY TIMES MAY BE EXTENDED. PRIORITY MAIL EXPRESS® SERVICE WILL NOT CHANGE.

Our experience is that Priority Mail now takes up to 5 days to deliver and standard mail can take anywhere from 5-31 days (depending on the level of COVID-19 cases and social issues occurring in or around the city and or county of the order's destination address.

Unfortunately, based on the current conditions, there is nothing we can do to speed up the USPS delivery process.  We suggest that when placing your order, you select Priority Mail if time is of the essence.

For realtime tracking, go to our menu list and select "Track Order."  Then, enter the email address you used to place the order and your order number.

If your tracking information shows that your package was delivered but you can't find it, the carrier may have placed it in a safer location, please check: Mailbox, Porch, Garage, and any area out of potential weather hazards.  Also check exterior doors and any locations where the package could be placed.  Additionally, check your mailbox again as some packages come separately from your regular mail.  You should also check with others in your house that may have accepted it.  In rare cases, package may show as 'delivered' but could take additional 24 hours.

If it has been over 24 hours from the 'delivered' status, to save time a  service request may be sent by email to your local Post Office™ facility for follow-up. You will receive a confirmation number and a contact within 2-3 business days.

Please note that you MUST complete the above-mentioned step prior to requesting assistance from our support team.  Additionally, only Priority Mail is insured.  Both Standard Mail and Media Mail are NOT insured and are non-refundable.

The tracking information provided by a legitimate carrier (United States Postal Service, UPS, FedEx, Etc.) is relied upon 100% in our determination as to whether or not an order has been delivered to its destination. In instances where the tracking information states that the order has been delivered and the intended recipient states otherwise, the intended recipient must seek remedy with the carrier. Black Castle Media Group, Inc. does not provide refunds for orders where the carrier has confirmed delivery through their official tracking system.(See Term & Conditions for details).  

If your order has not been shipped for an extended amount of time, it almost certainly means there is an issue with the shipping address that was provided at the time of order.  The most common cause for the delay is the apartment or suite number was not provided at the time of order.  On our end, an email is sent out within 24 hours requesting an address update.   

If your order has not been shipped and you have not received the follow-up email, please check your order confirmation to ensure you are checking the correct email address.  Almost 100% of the time, this is the case. 

Once we get the address update, your order is then processed and shipped.

The best method to use when attempting to contact support is our contact page or Support@blackcastlemediagroup.com.  Please do not use any of the other company email addresses as they are not monitored by our support team and you will not receive a response. 

Due to COVID-19, our support team is operating at minimum staffing levels; therefore, there may be a delay in our response; however, someone will respond to your inquiry within 1-3 business days.  Please do not send more than one email as our system will reset your inquiry to the back of the list.  Telephone support for shipping related inquires is not available at this time.

Additionally, our support team can be reached via text and email only.  There is no telephone support nor do we monitor the author's social media platforms at this time.
