Does each buckle come with a belt?
NO.

We have tried giving out free belts with every purchase of a buckle but they were of poor quality, something we want to avoid. Therefore, we decided to sell high quality belts that will last for years and lowered the price of our buckles.

Be prepared for any brokerage fees, duties, or taxes that your local carrier may charge you before the item is delivered, to avoid any delays. We will not declare packages at a lower value. No exceptions.

Priority Mail usually takes 2-3 business days within the US. First Class mail takes 2-5 business days.
Allow 1-2 weeks for international orders due to customs regulations.

Can I track my order?
Yes, you can! if you ordered with FedEx or UPS there is a real live tracking of the item, you can do that by logging into your account and clicking on the tracking number corresponding with your order. We also ship all with the United States Postal Service and using Priority mail which is one of the safest methods Unfortunately, there is no way to gurantee these packages, though you will recieve a delivery confirmation number which will provide some sort of a tracking.

What if my credit card gets declined?
There are 3 possible reasons:

• You exceeded your credit limit. Advice: try another card
• Billing address doesn't match cardholder's bank records. Advice: check out your last statement and try again
• You entered the wrong CVV2 code. Advice: locate the code on your card and try again

I was told my transaction was declined. Why I see several transactions on my credit card?
When you entered the billing information and your credit card number, we passed that information to your bank. If there is such a credit card, your bank froze some money to make sure it will be available in case the transaction will be completed. For some reason your transaction was declined and we informed your bank about that through our payment gateway. But the bank will not release the money immediately for their own reasons. Usually they hold the money for up to 10 days, but sometimes it can be held for up to 30 days. If you still do not believe us, just call your bank and ask them if the money LEFT your account.

So, if I try 5 times and 5 times I was told my transaction is declined, there is a whole bunch of frozen money on my credit card?
Yes. It is a way banks work nowadays. Just wait several days and your money will be released.

Special note for international customers
We now offer “First class international” shipping option. This option is the most economical but time frame varies.

Please be aware that USPS First Class Mail International shipments normally take 2 to 6 weeks to be delivered. However, there is no guaranteed delivery date for USPS First Class Mail International shipments. Therefore, it could take even longer. We have had some USPS First Class Mail International shipments take up to 2 months to be delivered. If you need your order by a certain date or if you want your order to be delivered faster, please take this notice into consideration and select a different international shipping method. Also, there are no reliable tracking numbers for this type of shipment, only a customs declaration number, which may not be updated, since USPS is not required to update the customs number with new tracking status information for this type of shipment. Therefore, your package could be delivered without the customs declaration number ever being updated.

Do you have a catalog?
Because our items are constantly changing to keep only the best items at the best prices, we do not offer a paper catalog.

What happens if the carrier I used claims the package was delivered but I never received it?

Our carriers, USPS and UPS are generally very reliable. However, the above scenario, although not common, could happen. If this happens, we suggest you double-check to make sure the package was not left anywhere around the house, porch, stairs, with neighbors etc. If none found, you are welcome to contact the carrier yourself, using the tracking / confirmation number we provided you. If you can’t resolve the issue with them, you are welcome to contact us and we will contact the carrier. UPS, on some occasions, will take responsibility for their packages (if left at a non-secure location) and will refund the cost of the order. USPS will not do that (unless you contact us at the time of the order and ask for the packaged to be insured). Hot Buckles Inc. will NOT be responsible for such loss. The best you can do to avoid this scenario is to use UPS (which allows tracking at any point in time) to a business location or other location where it can be left with someone.
