1. Purchase terms and conditions

1.1 Shipping

If Duct Tape Workshop (“Duct Tape” or “we”) has your product(s) in stock, we will email you a shipping and payment notice confirming that the items have shipped and are en-route to you and that your credit card has been charged; that notice is our acceptance of your order. In-stock orders (excluding special delivery items) normally ship within 1-2 business days of placing your order. We will send you the shipping notice once the item is back in stock and has been shipped. How soon you receive the product(s) depends on the shipping method you have chosen.
