Shipping & Returns
Our Shipping Policy
We want your order to arrive safely and as quickly as possible. Most orders are processed and shipped within 1–2 business days. Larger orders, custom items, and orders placed during our busiest season (November and December) may require additional processing time.
If you need an estimated shipping date before placing your order, we're happy to help. Please call us at 812-367-2500 or email giftshop@thedome.org.
Shipping Methods
We ship throughout the United States using USPS and UPS, including APO/FPO military addresses. Shipping charges are calculated based on the weight, size, and destination of your order.
If your order requires multiple packages, you will only be charged one shipping fee.
International Shipping
We are happy to ship internationally whenever possible. Please contact us at giftshop@thedome.org for a shipping quote and estimated delivery time before placing your order.
Shipping Issues
Once your order has been shipped and accepted by USPS or UPS, delivery is handled by the carrier. While we cannot guarantee shipping times or be responsible for delays caused by the carrier, we are happy to assist you if a shipment is delayed, lost, or arrives damaged.
If you experience a shipping problem, please contact us as soon as possible. We will work with you to determine the best way to resolve the issue and, when appropriate, help initiate a claim with the shipping carrier.
Please note that we cannot be responsible for delays or returned packages resulting from:
- An incorrect or incomplete shipping address provided at checkout.
- Refused deliveries.
- Carrier delays caused by weather, holidays, or other circumstances beyond our control.
If you have special shipping requests or would like to discuss alternate shipping options, please contact us at 812-367-2500 or giftshop@thedome.org. We're always happy to help.
