STORE STATUS
EFFECTIVE JUNE 21, 2021
We have made the difficult decision to close our retail store indefinitely. Due to recent growth in our online/mail order business, our retail space has been repurposed to accommodate additional warehouse space. Until further notice, orders will only be shipped out for delivery.
We're grateful for the years of support our local customers have provided, and we apologize for any inconvenience. We will continue to look for ways to better serve our local customers.

International Orders
Barlow’s is proud to serve our international customers. Our minimum order for international orders is $100.00 in merchandise, prior to any applicable shipping fees. International orders for less than $100.00 will not be processed.
International shipping fees are calculated based on order size/weight. If ordering on our website, shipping on international orders will appear as $0.00 when you place your order. International shipping charges will be calculated and added to your order when it is ready to ship.
International orders are shipped via United States Postal Service (USPS) First Class or Priority International Mail. International orders are shipped via USPS “Flat Rate” boxes whenever possible, as this is typically the least expensive priority shipping method. USPS shipment confirmation, including tracking information, will be sent to the email address used to place the order.
An international order processing fee of $10.00 will be added to final shipping fees for all international orders. This fee covers the additional time required to process and ship international orders.
