Customer Service

Our orders are shipped using UPS. When placing an order you must provide us with your complete street address in the Shipping Information section of the checkout form. Unfortunately, our carrier cannot deliver to PO boxes.

In stock items are shipped 24 – 72 hours from the time we receive your order and payment. For orders on custom products, there is a lead-time. Cape Cod Lanterns will email or phone the client with approximate ship date. Orders received after 3:00 p.m. E.S.T. will be processed the next business day.

All orders are shipped UPS within the lower 48 United States. When placing an order you MUST provide us with your complete street address in the SHIPPING SECTION. UPS cannot deliver to P.O. boxes. At the time the package is shipped you will receive a UPS NOTIFICATION EMAIL. The email will notify you of the shipment, the UPS tracking number of the package and most important, the estimated date of arrival to you from our e-STORE here on Cape Cod.

Please note, shipping time depends upon where we are shipping to you in the US. Sorry, we have no control over delays from the shipper.
