Shipping Info and Policies:
When will my order arrive?
For your additional credit protection, all orders containing boxed product, CDs, manuals, and books are manually reviewed by our E-Commerce Department prior to fulfillment. We ship your order according to the availability of the product, usually within 48 hours.
To find out when you will receive an item, you need to consider the availability of the items you are ordering as well as the shipping option you select. Here's the equation we use:
Item Availability Date + Shipping Option Selected = Total Delivery Time
For example:
Item available immediately + 7 (Standard Shipping) = 7 business days maximum delivery time
Orders are usually processed within 48 hours. We ship your order according to the availability of the product, usually within 48 hours.
Availability is indicated in the shopping cart and on your receipt. Please allow for the shipping time you've selected.
Note: Delivery time is dependent on stock availability. Check for any availability messaging. Please add one shipping day if your order is placed the day before or on a national holiday. Also, express shipping is not available on Saturdays and Sundays.
To track your order, follow the link on your receipt to the shipping company, (TNT, UPS, or DHL), or call the shipping company's toll-free number and tell them your tracking number. They will give you detailed information on your shipment.
Back Orders
If an item in your order becomes back-ordered, we will do everything we can to fill your order as quickly as possible. If your order is not ready to ship within 7 business days, we will send you an email with an update on the status of your order.
Customs and Brokerage Information
The Macromedia Store Europe will deliver almost anywhere in the world, subject to export regulations. Because we cannot determine the customs, brokerage, or other fees that you may incur when the product enters your country, the shipping company will collect these fees when they deliver your order. For a more accurate estimate, check with the shipping company. If the amount still isn't clear and you want to be absolutely sure of the charges, we recommend that you purchase the products from your local Macromedia reseller, or buy the download version of the product.
