Shipping Policy

Shipping rates (contiguous U.S.)

  • Most Son of a Sailor goods ship free. That covers nearly everything handcrafted by our craftspeople in San Antonio. A few larger pieces, like our Affirm shelves, are calculated at checkout.
  • Most curated goods ship for a $6.99 flat rate.
  • Larger or oddly shaped items, like big art prints, furniture and some sale items, are calculated at checkout.
  • Faster options (UPS 2nd Day Air and USPS Priority Mail) are available at checkout.

Shipping to Alaska, Hawaii and U.S. territories is calculated at checkout. If your cart mixes our pieces with curated goods, you’ll see the combined shipping total before you pay.

Free local pickup in San Antonio
Choose local pickup at checkout and we’ll let you know as soon as your order is ready to collect at our shop, 904 Nolan Street. Just bring your confirmation email.

When your order ships

  • In-stock items ship within 1–3 business days.
  • Custom and made-to-order pieces need 7–10 business days to be handcrafted before they ship.

Good to know: these timelines are our fulfillment time, meaning how long it takes us to make, pack and hand your order to the carrier. The carrier’s delivery time comes after that and is separate, so add the transit time for your chosen shipping method when you’re planning around a date. Have a deadline? Email us and we’ll tell you honestly whether we can make it.

Holiday shipping
We post our holiday ship-by dates at the top of the site every November.

Carriers and tracking
Domestic orders ship via USPS or UPS, and we’ll email your tracking number as soon as your order is on its way. Don't see your tracking email? Be sure to check your spam!

Packaging and gift wrap
Son of a Sailor pieces ship in a branded cotton bag or box. Curated goods arrive in their maker’s packaging. Gift wrap is available on any order at checkout.

International orders
We ship worldwide via UPS and DHL, with tracking on every package. Rates are calculated at checkout. Orders are declared at their full value, and any duties, taxes or customs fees charged by your country are the buyer’s responsibility.
