Shipping & Delivery Policy
Learn about our international air-freight schedules, protective mechanical packaging protocols, customs compliance, and delivery guarantees.
1. Order Processing & Pre-Shipment Inspection
Every GearOrb slingshot is a precision mechanical device with tight structural tolerances. Prior to shipping, each unit undergoes a 5-point quality verification process:
- CNC aluminum chassis and surface anodizing inspection
- Magnetic ammunition chamber alignment and retention check
- Tension band quick-clamp mechanism verification
- Hardware bolt torque and spare accessory kit completeness
Standard orders are calibrated, securely boxed, and handed over to international freight carriers within 1 to 2 business days (excluding weekends and statutory holidays).
2. Shipping Destinations & Estimated Delivery Times
We utilize dedicated air-freight express lines paired with local postal and courier services (such as USPS, FedEx, DHL, and Royal Mail) for the final delivery.
| Destination Region | Estimated Transit Time | Last-Mile Carrier |
|---|---|---|
| United States | 7 – 14 Business Days | USPS / FedEx SmartPost |
| Canada | 8 – 14 Business Days | Canada Post |
| United Kingdom & Germany | 6 – 10 Business Days | Royal Mail / Hermes / DHL Paket |

3. Protective Packaging Standards
Mechanical metal products require shock-absorbent packaging to avoid transit deformation. Your order is packaged inside custom high-density EVA laser-cut foam inserts housed in a rigid outer corrugated box to withstand long-haul international transport.
4. Customs, Duties & Import Regulations
GearOrb complies with international export classifications for outdoor recreational sports gear. In most major destination countries (including the US and EU), shipments fall within standard tax-free de minimis thresholds.
If local regulatory authorities or customs departments assess import duties or handling fees upon arrival, these are the responsibility of the recipient.
5. Lost or Damaged Shipments Guarantee
We stand firmly behind our shipping promises. In the rare event that a package is lost in transit or arrives physically damaged:
- Damage on Arrival: Contact us within 48 hours of receipt with clear photos of the outer box and affected parts. We will dispatch replacement components or a brand-new unit immediately.
- Stuck or Lost Packages: If your package shows no tracking movement for over 20 business days, our logistics team will launch a carrier trace and issue a free reshipment or a full refund upon verification.
