1. Shipping Methods:
- At UKE Republic, we use trusted shipping providers like UPS Ground or USPS Priority/International or Parcel Select (USPS for smaller and local addresses, and all international shipments).

- Please note that occasionally, deliveries may take a bit longer due to factors like weather, customs processes, holidays, national emergencies, or pandemics.

- Before you finalize your order, make absolutely sure that the shipping address you provide is correct.
- UKE Republic won't notify third-party recipients, such as UPS Store locations or other mail centers, before shipping. You should inform them about the incoming shipment to avoid any issues or extra charges.
