Orders + Shipping
How much is shipping?
Shipping is calculated based on the delivery address and your requested delivery method (i.e., USPS Priority Mail andNext-Day Air Saver...).
Do you ship internationally?
We currently only ship within the United States, U.S. Territories, and APO/FPO/DPO, and U.S. PO Boxes.
Do you ship to APO or PO boxes?
We can ship to APO/FPO/DPO and PO Boxes and locations within the United States and U.S. Territories.
Do you offer pick-up?
AreYouGame does not operate a physical storefront and our warehouse is not open to the public, so unfortunately we cannot accommodate any customer pick-ups. But we deliver your favorite games, puzzles, and activities straight to your door.
What are the available shipping methods?
We provide you with the best rate through UPS and USPS and offer:
- UPS Next-Day Air Saver
- USPS Priority
Rates are calculated based on your delivery address and cannot be modified.Please note: Shipping timeline estimations provided by USPS are estimates and are not guaranteed.
If I choose to ship to multiple locations, will I be charged extra shipping?
Multiple orders with different delivery addresses will need to be placed as separate orders. Each order will be charged individually for shipping.Rates are calculated based on your delivery address and cannot be modified.
When can I expect my order to ship?
Orders received Monday through Friday before 12:00 pm (CST) will ship the same day. Orders received after 12:01 pm (CST) will ship by the end of the next business day. Orders received after 12:01 pm (CST) on Friday through Sunday will ship by the end of the day on Monday.Please note that Saturday, Sunday and holidays are not considered business days for order shipping, except from the day after Thanksgiving to December 23rd we have pickups on Saturdays as well.
How long will it take to get my order?
- UPS Next-Day Air Saver
- Orders received by 12 Noon CST Monday – Friday will be shipped the same day**, and you should receive the package the following business day. UPS Next Day Air Saver promises next-day deliverybetween 3:00 and 4:30 p.m. to commercial addresses, and at the end of the day to residential addresses.
- USPS Priority
- Orders received by 12 Noon CST Monday - Friday will be shipped the same day**, and USPS states that Priority Mail should be received between 1-3 days. We believe this is in actuality 1-5 days.
- Carrier Delays
- Our policy is to ship all orders received by 12 Noon CST Monday – Friday to ship the same day**. Once the carrier has picked up the package, the delivery time may vary due to many reasons – from natural disasters to holiday shipping to employee shortages, we have notice all of the carriers have been struggling to keep up with the demands – so we cannot be responsible for carrier delays once the order has left our warehouse. We can only guarantee when we will ship your order.
**Please note that Saturday, Sunday and holidays are not considered business days for order shipping. With the exception: From the day after Thanksgiving to December 23rd, our cut-off time for shipments is for orders received by 4PM. We will have pickups on Saturdays as well. We will be here on Sundays during those times, but we don’t have carriers picking up the packages until Monday evening.
Where will my product ship from?
Products ship from our warehouse located at 11201 N Airworld Dr., Kansas City, MO 64153.
How can I track my order?
A tracking number for each order placed will be sent directly to you. Most orders should arrive within 5-7 business days. Orders shipped to AK, HI, U.S. Territories, or APO/FPO/DPO addresses may be subject to additional transit time. Orders may be subject to additional delays during peak holiday shipping season or due to carrier capacity issues.
What should I do if the tracking number says my package was delivered but I didn’t receive it?
Please first check around the general vicinity of your front door, mailbox, garage, side gate, or yard for your package. Many times mail carriers will hide packages out of plain sight to prevent theft. You might also check with your neighbors to ensure the mail carrier did not leave your package with them. If after checking these areas, you do not find your package, please contact us at orders@areyougame.com.
I would like to place a bulk or corporate order, how do I do this?
Please contact us directly at orders@areyougame.com and we will be happy to assist you with your order.
