We reveal only the last digits of your credit card numbers when confirming an order. Of course, we transmit the entire credit card number to the appropriate credit card processor.

Orders are typically confirmed via email or phone, and filled and shipped within 72 hours of receipt. Due to stock shortages, some items may be back ordered and ship at a later date. Standard 5 & 10 reserves the right to ship partial orders or hold an order for complete shipment at our sole discretion. Prior to back ordering an item or partial shipping an order Standard 5&10 will either contact you for instructions before shipping or cancel your order and notify you of such cancellation.

To check on the status of your order, please contact our store at 415/751-5767 during regular business hours.

Shipping fees calculated on our web site are approximate based on information provided by UPS. We cannot confirm the shipping fees until your order enters the shipping process. Despite our best efforts, a small number of orders have incorrect shipping fees. Rest assured, however, that we verify these fees as part of our shipping procedures.

If an order's correct shipping fee is lower than the calculated fee, we charge the lower amount and ship you the order.

If an order's correct shipping fee is higher than the calculated fee, we will, at our discretion, either contact you for instructions before shipping or cancel your order and notify you of such cancellation.

Back ordered items shipped separately will be shipped based on the original requested ship method and charged a separate shipping fee. We will contact you for instructions before shipping or cancel your back order.

The shipping rates for many items we sell are weight-based. To reflect the policies of the shipping companies we use, all weights will be rounded up to the next full pound.

BBQ Orders: Due to the size and weight of barbeque orders; we will confirm shipping costs with you prior to shipping.

Within 30 days of receipt of your shipment (including gifts), you may return any item, for a full refund (we'll also refund the shipping cost if the return is a result of our error): Items are not returnable if they are in un-sellable condition, or are missing parts.

We will notify you via e-mail of your refund once we have received and processed the returned item. You can expect a refund in the same form of payment originally used for purchase within 7 to 14 business days of our receiving your return. Please note that we can refund shipping costs only if the return is a result of our error.
