Shipping Information
 
* Free Shipping Does Not Apply to Orders Shipped to Alaska or Hawaii.
 

Domestic Shipping
 
Fubao Health offers free shipping on any order of $99 or more within the continent consisting of the 48 continuous States of the United States.

We use the United States Postal Service Priority Mail, Federal Express Ground and UPS - United Postal Service for our shipping needs. Each provider is considered equal by Fubao Health and our customers can expect delivery of their orders 4 to 7 business days after submitting an order. Please note, if your order qualifies for free shipping, we will choose the shipping option.
 
Email communications are used by Fubao Health for confirmations of each order and updates regarding shipping and tracking information. If you have placed an order with Fubao Health, please ensure your email server is configured to allow delivery of emails from Fubao Health. It is our customer’s responsibility to view and review the confirmation email for accuracy. Notify Fubao Health immediately of any errors with your order. Fubao Health will not be responsible for errors on orders discovered after the order has been shipped.
 
Please allow 24 to 48 hours for order processing. We will notify you by phone and/or email within 24 hours if an item is unavailable or has been discontinued. Please note, if you place an order on a Friday or a holiday, the order will not be reviewed until the next business day.

Guidelines: Here are a few other guidelines we have regarding shipping:

-- Your order will be processed on the first business bay following the receipt of your order.
 
-- The time of shipment is determined by product availability. If an item is in stock, it will be shipped within 24-72 hours  (after the first business day of receiving the order). If an item is not available for any reason, a Customer Service Representative will contact you by phone and/or e-mail to discuss any delays pertaining to an order.
   
-- There is no free shipping to Alaska or Hawaii. Please call a Customer Service Representative at 866-883-8226 to place your order. As a general rule, orders weighing less than 3 pounds will be assessed a flat rate of $6.95. Orders over 3 pounds will be quoted on a per order basis.
 
-- Shipping charges are non-refundable.
 
-- Any order valued at $99 or more is automatically shipped with a Signature Required. If you or someone you appoint are not going to be at the shipping address to legally sign for, and take responsibility of, the package when the delivery person arrives, a notice will be left. After 2 attempts of delivery the package will generally be kept at your local post office for up to 15 days. If unclaimed, it should be returned to our warehouse. Upon receipt of the returned package, we can either refund the original credit card used subject to all shipping charges, and a 20% restocking fee, or we can re-ship the package for which there will be an additional shipping and handling charges.
 
If you would like to waive the delivery signature requirement, please note your intention to waive it in the “Ordering Instructions Box" portion of the order form. If you waive the signature, Fubao Health does not assume any responsibility if the package is lost or stolen.
 
-- Orders to P.O. Boxes and APO addresses are sent by USPS Priority Mail only. A Fubao Health Customer Service Representative will contact you if the shipping option you desire is not available.
 
-- Do not send large packages to apartment mail boxes, route boxes or heavily traveled areas by the general public.
 
-- Do not place a large order of any product you aren’t familiar with. Consider ordering 1 or 2 bottles first to make sure the product will work for you. All returns are subject to a 20% restocking fee.
   

Expedited Shipping:

We do not have Federal Express Overnight Delivery service available. Express Mail shipping through the United States Postal Service is available to most areas and delivery can take anywhere from 2 to 4 business days. Please note, selecting Express Mail Delivery does not guarantee your order will arrive to you overnight.

If ordering the VSL#3 Probiotic, Express Mail shipping is required. This method of shipping ensures the live acid bacteria in VSL3 remain intact. If you do not choose this method of shipping when placing the order, a Customer Service Representative will contact you.
 
Email and Tracking:
 
We will e-mail you a tracking number after the order has been processed. Not all orders will qualify for tracking. Email communications are used by Fubao Health for confirmations of each order and updates regarding shipping, tracking (if applicable), and/or any alterations to an original order. Please ensure your email server continues to allow delivery of e-mail's from Fubao Health.
 
Back-ordered Items:
 
The time of shipment is determined by product availability. If an item is in stock, it will be shipped within 24-72 hours (after the first business day of receiving the order). If an item is not available for any reason, a Customer Service Representative will contact you by phone and/or e-mail to discuss any delays pertaining to an order. Standard shipping takes 4-7 business days to arrive. If the package does not arrive to your shipping address within 14 days from the date of your order, contact us immediately.

Damaged Products:

Should your package arrive damaged, it is always best to refuse the shipment from the delivery service. If this is not possible, simply contact us at 1-866-883-1558 or email us at: supportteam @fubaohealth.com to report the damaged package. We will immediately arrange to have the damaged products or package returned to our warehouse. In some case this may require you, our customer, to take the package to the Unites States Postal Service, for return to our warehouse.  We will always provide postage, or postage in the form of a direct refund to the original credit card used for the original order, for the amount of the return postage. In all cases, a Return Authorization Number must first be obtained from our Customer Service Department, prior to you sending, and our acceptance of any return.

Prior to sending a replacement package to you, we may require you to participate in our damage claim with FedEx, UPS or The USPS. This process may include an onsite investigation by the carrier themselves or a United States Postal Investigator, who may provide assistance with claims including FedEx, UPS, and The USPS. Always retain the damaged package until we notify you that the claim has been processed - the carrier will often require the damaged package to process a claim.
