  • Ground delivery: arrives within 5-7 Business Days from shipping confirmation; and
  • Express 2nd day delivery: arrives in 2 Business Days from shipping confirmation.

The aforementioned delivery estimates are mere estimates subject to the acceptance and approval of Your order. Additionally, deliveries can take longer in certain remote areas. As such, the delivery estimates shall not bind RIEDEL, nor shall they serve as a basis for imposing liability upon RIEDEL for any shipment that fails to meet these estimated delivery dates. “Business Days” are defined as Monday to Friday 9am to 5pm, excluding federally recognized United States holidays.

Orders 99 USD or more will be delivered free. No promo code needed. Valid on standard U.S. ground shipping to U.S. delivery addresses in the 48 continental states only. We do not offer Saturday shipping. Not valid for Alaska, Hawaii, U.S. territories, P.O. Boxes, and APO/FPO addresses.

Order Cancellations/Modifications

If You are looking to cancel an order that was recently placed, please immediately contact our customer service on 1-888-4-RIEDEL (1-888-474-3335) or via e-mail to webshopusa@riedel.com, and one of Our Support Reps will be able to help out. Once an order has been placed, there is a very short timeframe in which We can cancel the order, so We cannot guarantee that We will be able to cancel Your order. All orders typically ship out within 1 - 3 Business Days. Should cancellation not be possible, You can refuse delivery of the package, and a refund will be issued minus shipping costs upon return receipt of the package.

For security reasons, we unfortunately cannot make address changes once an order has been placed. UPS will make three attempts to deliver Your package to the provided address, and after the third attempt Your will be able to arrange for pickup from the nearest UPS facility. Otherwise, the shipment will be returned to Our warehouse and a refund will be processed for the Products.
