Shipping
We hope you’ll stand by us in our commitment to environmental quality by not requesting expedited shipping unless totally necessary. The energy used during air shipping is many multiples of what it takes to ship by land.
We will do our best to get you your order as soon as humanly possible. Most orders will arrive at your doorstep within ten days of purchase. That gives you ten days to dream of all the ways you will use your new skirt or wrap.
However, if you do not have the time to wait for your package, we will gladly expedite your package in for an additional, non-refundable, $7 environmental donation to be made on your behalf to Project Laundry List. Think of it as mitigation. Project Laundry List is a small group of committed volunteers working to legalize peoples' right to hang laundry outside to dry--conserving energy and decreasing the environmental impact of clothing care.
The following information, adapted from Yvon Chouinard’s book, Let My People go Surfing, summarizes the energy spent to ship a ton of material
- Rail or boat: 400 BTUs per ton, per mile
- Truck: 3,300 BTUs per ton, per mile
- Air cargo: 21,760 BTUs per ton, per mile
If you’re buying over the internet and have time to spare - ship via ground!
