Pro-Tips for a Better Policy
* Make it Findable: Link your shipping policy in your website footer, on product pages, and in the checkout flow.
* Transparency is Key: If you know a specific carrier is experiencing delays (e.g., during a storm or strike), add a temporary banner to the top of your site.
* Returns vs. Shipping: While they are related, keep your Returns & Refunds Policy on a separate page to avoid overwhelming the reader.
* Language Matters: Use "Business Days" instead of "Days" to account for weekends and public holidays.
