SHIPPING
The Box: How are domestic packages shipped?
All domestic packages are discreetly packaged and shipped in a standard brown cardboard box with a shipping label. The name “Tantus” will not appear on any outer surfaces. The return label (and your credit card statement) will say "Smithblack", our pseudonym.
The Box: How are international packages shipped?
Although we do our best to be discreet, all International shipments must be accompanied by an itemized Commercial Invoice on the outside of the box to pass through Customs. That means "Tantus" will appear on the packing slip, as well as a list of the items you purchased.
Note that the toy names will directly match those in your shopping cart, i.e. to the best of our abilities will not include any identifying terms such as dildo, anal, etc. The slip will also be folded so as not to outwardly display the list, only the address information.
The Contents: How are international packages shipped?
International packages are handled in a similar manner as our domestic packages. They are shipped in a plain brown box with "SmithBlack" on the packing slips facing outwards. Because international packages must go through customs a detail of what is in your package will be listed.

With recipient delivery options you can provide delivery and locating instructions, request your delivery time, including by appointment and evenings, request delivery to another address, and more.
Why doesn’t my tracking number work?
Don’t panic! In the case of UPS SurePost, no matter what the e-mail notification states about the shipping company, the tracking number will NEVER be a USPS number. That means it is UPS SurePost.
These services use both UPS and USPS. The special service triggers the release of a USPS notification, even though the tracking number is for UPS. We apologize for the confusion.
So what is UPS SurePost?
UPS SurePost works by handing off packages to USPS once it nears the destination in order to be delivered to restricted addresses such as PO Boxes, APO’s, and territories (other than Puerto Rico, which can be reached by UPS Ground). If you don't NEED to use SurePost, i.e. you aren't shipping to a restricted area, DON'T use it! SurePost takes an average of 8 working days to ship - nearly two weeks. Realistic delivery ranges from 6 - 15 business days.
I used UPS SurePost and my package was ‘delivered’ but I haven’t received it!
Remember the non-panicking? When your package changes carriers from UPS to USPS, UPS makes an educated guess about the package’s arrival time and does not continue tracking the package through USPS. This means it may take SurePost packages an additional 1-2 days to arrive after SurePost says it has been ‘Delivered’.
If I use UPS SurePost to ship to Hawaii, how long will my package take to arrive?
Beware - SurePost to Hawaii transfers the package from UPS to USPS before it leaves the mainland. That means, your package is being sent by sea, and that it will take at least 2 full weeks - up to 3 weeks - for your package to arrive. If you are not interested in these wait times, Express Shipping is your next option.
If I place an order, when will my package be shipped?
Express packages are picked up by 4pm PST, regular packages are picked up by 5pm PST. Orders placed by 7:30 am PST will ship out same day.
Orders placed after 7:30am PST will not be shipped until the next business day - even if you have express shipping.

Why can't you ship to Alabama?
Unfortunately, there is a law in Alabama against the sale and distribution of sex toys. Although we are not located within the state, and though we believe our products are for 'health and wellness' as is required for the sale of sexual items, we choose not to take the risk at this time. There are several other online as well as brick-and-mortar stores that will ship to Alabama. We suggest locating your items through another company, or shipping your products through Tantus to a friend or contact in a neighboring state. We apologize for the inconvenience!
Can you ship to a P.O. Box?
SurePost will deliver to a PO Box within the United States.
We no longer offer a service for International PO Boxes due to excessive shipping issues and lost packages.
How are shipping rates determined?
Shipping is based upon real-time rates, calculated according to the total weight of the package.
What are my shipping options?

What is your return policy?
All products are non-returnable after point of purchase or after package arrival. This is for health code reasons since we cannot ensure the sterility of items after they have been received and opened.
That should be a relief - you can rest assured that no product you receive has ever been in the hands of another customer!
What if my product is damaged or contains defects?
Refunds for damaged or defected products will be accepted up to 30 days after purchase. Tantus will address defective products on a case by case basis. If you feel your product has a manufacturing defect please contact customer service immediately at (775) 284-6400 or via email at support@tantusinc.com. Please include a photo and description of your defect as evidence.
