We are dedicated to processing and sending out all orders promptly, and we will keep you updated throughout the entire process.

Ensuring your contentment is paramount to us. Therefore, our systems for delivery and financial transactions have been crafted for maximum ease, dependability, and security. We encourage you to examine the information provided here to learn how your selected purchases will reach you.

Details Regarding Shipment

We recognize your eagerness to receive your purchases and are committed to delivering them both swiftly and securely. Our shipping protocols are designed for transparency, presenting a range of choices to accommodate your specific requirements.

Order Preparation Period

Every order submitted to SociosGroup undergoes a preparation phase prior to being shipped. This interval is dedicated to meticulously confirming your order specifics, retrieving and packaging your selections, and readying them for transportation.

  • Standard Handling: The majority of orders are prepared for dispatch within one to three working days (from Monday to Friday, excluding official holidays).
  • Accelerated Handling: Orders for which expedited or express shipping is chosen receive priority and are typically processed within a single business day.
  • Be advised that during periods of high demand, significant promotional events, or unexpected situations, the processing duration might be longer. We value your understanding in such instances and will inform you of any substantial delays.

Shipping Options and Expected Delivery Windows

To align with your urgency and financial considerations, we provide a selection of shipping choices. The estimated delivery periods are calculated from the moment of dispatch, not from the date the order was placed.

  • Standard Shipping:

    This represents our most budget-friendly choice, suitable for shipments that are not time-critical. After processing, your package is anticipated to reach you within three to seven business days.

  • Expedited Shipping:

    If you require your purchases more quickly, our expedited shipping service shortens the transit duration. You can generally expect delivery within two to four business days following processing.

  • Express/Overnight Shipping:

    This is our swiftest service for pressing requirements. Shipments sent via express usually arrive within one to two business days after processing. Kindly be aware that this option's availability might vary based on your shipping address and our daily order deadlines.

The projected delivery times do not account for weekends or national holidays. Unexpected events like extreme weather conditions, acts of nature, or delays experienced by the shipping provider can sometimes affect delivery schedules. Although we endeavor to adhere to all stated delivery frames, we cannot provide an absolute guarantee.

Delivery Charges

The expenses for shipping are determined by your chosen delivery service, the total weight and size of your order, and your specified delivery location.

  • Displayed During Checkout: The precise shipping fee for your purchase will be presented to you as you proceed through the checkout, prior to completing your transaction. This ensures you can openly review all applicable fees.
  • Eligibility for Free Shipping: From time to time, we may provide complimentary standard shipping for orders that surpass a certain monetary value. Such special offers will be prominently featured on our website. It is important to remember that free shipping is applicable exclusively to qualifying orders and standard delivery services.
  • Additional Fees for Distant Areas: Shipments to particular remote or hard-to-reach destinations may incur an extra charge. If relevant to your address, this will be clearly shown at the checkout stage.

Serviceable Geographic Areas

SociosGroup is pleased to provide shipping services to destinations across the contiguous United States, as well as Alaska, Hawaii, and the majority of U.S. territories, which encompass Puerto Rico, Guam, and the U.S. Virgin Islands.

  • Mainland U.S.: Standard, Expedited, and Express shipping choices are typically offered.
  • Alaska and Hawaii: Deliveries to these non-mainland states may involve increased charges and extended transit periods. Express shipping availability could be restricted.
  • U.S. Territories and Military Addresses (APO/FPO): We gladly extend our shipping services to these vital areas. Kindly note that due to intricate logistics, delivery durations can be considerably longer, and express shipping might not always be an option. Shipping fees will be determined during the checkout process.

Currently, we do not provide international shipping beyond the specified areas. We are continuously assessing our logistical capacities with the aspiration of broadening our service geographical scope eventually.

Shipment Monitoring

Upon the dispatch of your order, a confirmation email will be sent to you, including a tracking identification number and a direct link to the shipping provider's portal. This feature enables you to follow your delivery's journey live. Kindly allow a period of up to 24 hours for the tracking data to become operational after receiving this email.

Payment Methods

To ensure your purchasing experience at SociosGroup is as effortless as possible, we provide a selection of safe and user-friendly payment options. We hold your financial security in the highest regard.

Available Payment Options

You are welcome to finalize your transaction utilizing any of the following protected payment choices:

  • Credit and Debit Cards: We honor leading credit and debit cards such as Visa, MasterCard, American Express, and Discover. Your card information is handled securely via encrypted data pathways.
  • Digital Wallets: For a swift and convenient checkout experience, we facilitate well-known digital wallet services like Apple Pay and Google Pay.
  • PayPal: Payments can be made directly through your PayPal account, offering a simplified checkout that bypasses the need to input card information on our platform.
  • Deferred Payment Solutions: We might collaborate with providers such as Affirm or Klarna to extend flexible installment payment plans for qualifying orders. When accessible, these choices, along with their associated terms, will be displayed during checkout.

Kindly observe that we do not accommodate cash on delivery (COD), personal checks, or money orders. All financial transactions must be completed electronically via our encrypted checkout system.

Transaction Security and Information Safeguards

The safety of your financial data is our utmost concern. Every transaction conducted on SociosGroup is safeguarded using SSL (Secure Socket Layer) encryption, a standard industry protocol. This technology scrambles your personal and payment details, such as credit card numbers, names, and addresses, thereby thwarting illicit interception during their transfer across the internet.

We refrain from retaining complete credit card numbers on our own servers. Instead, all payment operations are managed by trusted, PCI DSS compliant external payment processors. These systems are specifically engineered to provide maximum protection for your financial particulars. We rigorously comply with data privacy laws to shield your personal data, utilizing it solely for the purposes of order fulfillment and customer support. For an in-depth explanation of our personal data handling practices, please consult our separate Privacy Policy.

Applicable Sales Tax

Relevant sales tax will be computed and incorporated into your total order amount during checkout. This calculation is based on your delivery address and prevailing state and local tax legislation. The precise sum will be visible prior to your final purchase confirmation.

Transactional Currency

Every price shown on our digital platform, and all completed transactions, are conducted in United States Dollars (USD).

Key Delivery Information and Disclaimers

For an uninterrupted delivery process, kindly be aware of the subsequent crucial details:

  • Precise Shipping Address: Supplying a full and correct shipping address when placing your order is essential. SociosGroup cannot be held accountable for any delivery postponements or failures stemming from erroneous or insufficient address details furnished by the buyer. We urge you to meticulously verify all information before finalizing your purchase. Any expenses arising from address amendments or subsequent re-shipments necessitated by incorrect addresses will be borne by the customer.
  • Delivery Attempts and Unsuccessful Deliveries: Our partnered shipping providers generally undertake multiple efforts to deliver a parcel. Should a package remain undeliverable after various tries (e.g., consignee absent, no secure drop-off point, inaccurate address), it might be sent back to our facility. If this occurs, we will reach out to you, and supplementary shipping fees may be levied for a subsequent delivery attempt.
  • Signature Mandates: For orders of significant value, or at our sole discretion, a signature might be requested upon delivery to confirm the secure reception of your goods. If you are unable to sign, the delivery service will usually provide a notification detailing options for re-delivery or collection.
  • Missing or Damaged Parcels: Should your package unfortunately go missing or arrive in a damaged state, please alert our customer assistance team without delay, specifically within 48 hours of the anticipated delivery date or actual receipt. We will collaborate with the shipping company to probe the matter and achieve a satisfactory outcome. It is imperative to keep all original packaging and any damaged contents, as these might be necessary for the insurance claim procedure.
  • Modifications and Cancellations of Orders: We process orders with considerable speed. If you find it necessary to alter or cancel an order, please get in touch with us promptly. Once an order has commenced its shipping journey, we might no longer be able to accommodate changes or cancellations.
  • External Influences and Delays: While we endeavor to ensure punctual deliveries, we cannot accept liability for delays resulting from situations outside our reasonable control, including but not limited to severe climatic events, natural catastrophes, industrial actions, civil disturbances, or widespread interruptions to courier operations. Nevertheless, we commit to keeping you apprised of any substantial delays.
  • Fraud Prevention Measures: To safeguard both our customers and our enterprise, every order undergoes a fraud assessment. Occasionally, this might introduce a minor delay in processing your order. Should it be deemed essential, we may reach out to you for further verification.
