Shipping & Delivery
The Mardi Gras Spot ships everywhere in the USA, Canada, Puerto Rico, the U.S. Virgin Islands, and APO/FPO addresses. “Standard” shipping rates apply to orders going to Canada, Puerto Rico, and the U.S. Virgin Islands. Overnight delivery is not available to these territories.

 

How much is shipping?
Shipping rates are automatically calculated upon checkout. To calculate shipping costs place your desired products in the cart and complete the “Estimate Shipping and Tax” calculator below the cart. Freight charges are based on package weight and destination. Different methods of delivery will result in different prices. Oversized and dimensionally-sized boxes are subject to additional charges. We have made every effort to keep shipping costs as low as possible. We recommend that you place your orders early enough to take advantage of the least expensive shipping method.

Can shipping rates vary?
The rates shown on our website are estimated based on the weights and dimensions of the items being shipped. Shipping charges may be different than the actual charges for your shipment. Differences may occur based on actual weight, dimensions, and other factors. If by chance your freight runs higher than the estimated rate provided by the website we will contact you to confirm the charges before we ship out.

What shipping options are available?
To meet the estimated delivery date your eligible purchases may be shipped using either ground or air shipping services.

  • Regular Delivery includes either USPS Priority Mail or FedEx Home Delivery/Ground, with deliveries Monday through Friday (excluding holidays).
  • Expedited Delivery service orders including Overnight, 2nd Day Air, and 3 Day Express need to be placed by Noon CST, Monday through Friday, for same day shipping due to pick up times from FedEx Express Services.

Can I ship a package to an address other than my billing address?
Sure! The billing address and the shipping address need not be the same, however the billing address must match the address on file with the issuing bank.

How long will it take to receive my order?
We ship from New Orleans, Louisiana.

  • Fed Ex Ground Delivers Monday through Friday
  • Fed Ex Home Delivers Tuesday through Saturday

Why is my shipping this amount?
The Mardi Gras Spot uses discounted FedEx rates due to our high volume of shipping. Some people are surprised at how much it costs to ship beads, but put simply, beads are not lightweight! A case of beads can weigh as much as 35 pounds. Shipping costs depend on the weight of the package(s), the distance to be delivered, and the method of delivery (Ground, Express, etc.).

When will my package arrive?
Orders placed before 12:00PM (Noon) Central will process and ship the same day, orders placed after 12:00PM (Noon) Central will process the next business day. You will receive a confirmation e-mail from us once your package has shipped from our warehouse with the tracking number. Simply click on the link provided in the e-mail notification or login to your Customer Account to check the status of your order.
