Kitty Hawk Kites Shipping Policy

Despite the Corona Virus, we have not been experiencing much delay with packages leaving our warehouse, however, we do ask that you be patient with your orders and note that we have seen slight delay from carrier facilities as there has been an increase of shipments throughout the country. If you do have any questions about tracking and delivery time after you have placed an order, please email us at orders@kittyhawk.com. 

Domestic Orders (U.S. Contiguous 48 States):
Most Domestic orders are shipped via UPS or USPS within 1-5 business days from North Carolina. Orders are NOT shipped on Saturdays, Sundays, Federal Holidays or UPS Holidays. If we receive your order after 9am EST, on a weekend day or holiday, your in-stock order will ship out in the following 1-5 business days. Orders to Alaska and Hawaii are shipped via US Postal Service only. If you need to receive your order by a specific date, please call or email us to check availability and delivery time (please allow up to 6 business days from the day your order ships out for delivery). We will ship via UPS or USPS (shipping carrier used is at the discretion of Kitty Hawk Kites) to physical addresses, PO BOX addresses will only be shipped via USPS. Please double-check your shipping information for accuracy before submitting your order to ensure timely delivery!

"Days In Transit" for estimated delivery times start from the day AFTER the order has been shipped and does NOT include weekend days or Federal/UPS Holidays. For example, if you live in Texas and you place your order on a Thursday after 9am EST, and we shipped your order out from North Carolina on Friday, the estimated delivery time for UPS would be 3-4 business days...giving an estimated delivery day of Wednesday or Thursday of the following week.

If you have any questions about the type or speed of service to choose, please email us at orders@kittyhawk.com or call 877-359-8447 x 3 and we will be more than happy to advise you on the right service.

We sell the best kites we can find from various manufacturers and we test these kites and give input to the manufacturers for improvements as necessary. Since our kites are flying machines, they are not under any warranty for breakage. However, we want you to have a great flying experience so we will provide replacement parts if we can. Customers are responsible for the cost of the part(s) and shipping fees.

KITE LINE may NOT be returned or exchanged once original packaging has been opened.
