Golly Gear products are obtained from many manufacturers who have different sizing and different measuring guidelines. Where appropriate, the page for each product will have a sizing chart with the manufacturer's recommendations. When measuring your little dog, it's best to use a tape measure like the one used by tailors and seamstresses. Generally, the "length" is measured from the base of your little dog's neck to the base of the tail. The "girth" or "chest" is measured around the dog's chest, right behind the front legs at the broadest part. If you don't have a tape measure, mark the measurement on a piece of string, put the string next to a yardstick or other rigid ruler and get the exact measurement.

We won't gouge you on shipping. We hate when it happens to us, we won't do it to you. Shipping rates are based on the U.S. Postal Service rates to your address and the shipping weight for each product, and we offer a choice of services. Shipping options will appear in a drop-down menu after you enter your billing and shipping addresses during the checkout process, before any payment method is entered. The approximate delivery time (in number of business days) is shown next to the service and shipping charge to make it easier to choose the appropriate method for your order.
Some large items are oversized and additional shipping costs will apply. This will be noted on the product page.
For U.S. orders over $100, standard shipping is free. Be sure to click on "Free Shipping over $100" in the Shipping box.
International orders - You may be subject to import duties and taxes, which are levied once a shipment reaches your country. Additional charges to clear customs are the responsibility of the recipient; we have no control over these charges and cannot predict what they may be. Customs policies vary widely from country to country; you should contact your local customs office for further information.
Mail Orders - If you choose to place your order by mail, please refer to the chart on the order form. The fees are generally based on US Priority Mail service.
We ship most orders within 24 hours. If you place an order after 1:00 Saturday afternoon, Central Time, the order will be shipped on Monday. If our timetable changes (for example, if we take a couple of days off), a notice will be placed at the top of our Home page.
We try to make sure that the items available for online ordering are in stock, but sometimes we do sell out of particular items. If the item you've ordered is not currently in stock, we will email you to inquire if you'd like to cancel the order or send the item(s) to you when our new stock arrives.
