Shipping Policy
Last Updated: April 20, 2026
This Shipping Policy describes how orders placed through Elsfree ("we", "our", or "us") are processed, shipped, and delivered. The purpose of this policy is to provide clear, transparent, and structured information regarding shipping procedures, delivery timelines, costs, and customer responsibilities.
By placing an order with Elsfree, you acknowledge that you have reviewed and understood the shipping terms outlined below. While we aim to maintain consistency and reliability in our shipping operations, all timelines and processes described are estimates and may be subject to change due to operational or external factors.
1. Order Processing Overview
Once an order is successfully placed and payment has been confirmed, it enters our processing system. During this stage, orders are reviewed, verified, prepared, and packaged for shipment.
Order processing is conducted during standard business days and excludes weekends and major holidays. The timing of processing may vary depending on order volume, product availability, and operational conditions at the time of purchase.
- Orders are processed Monday through Friday
- Orders are not processed on Sundays or major public holidays
- Processing begins after payment confirmation is successfully completed
2. Handling Time
Handling time refers to the period required to prepare your order for shipment. This includes order verification, product selection, packaging, and coordination with shipping carriers.
| Processing Stage | Estimated Time | Description |

| Handling Time | 1 – 2 Business Days | Order review, preparation, packaging, and dispatch coordination |
Handling time estimates are based on typical operational conditions and may vary depending on demand, inventory checks, and logistical factors.
3. Order Cut-Off Time
The daily order cut-off time is 5:00 PM Eastern Standard Time (EST), Monday through Friday.
- Orders placed before the cut-off time may begin processing the same business day
- Orders placed after the cut-off time will generally be processed on the next business day

11. Delivery Issues
If delivery cannot be completed, the carrier may:

Delays may occur due to factors beyond our direct control, including:
- Weather conditions
- Carrier disruptions
- High seasonal demand

Such delays are not considered a failure of service.
