- Orders ship by either UPS
or USPS depending on items ordered and/or weight.
Each distributor has their particular shipping methods. SEE PARTICULAR ITEM BELOW FOR SHIPPING METHOD
AVAILABLE FOR THAT ITEM.
- You can request UPS Next-Day,
2-day or 3-day Express Shipping for certain
destinations. See shipping methods allowed for each destination
below.
- All shipping costs are based
on weight and insurance value. We calculate the
exact shipping cost using UPS & USPS charts, so we save you money. Most companies use a percentage of
the subtotal amount, which costs you more. Also, companies that have FREE SHIPPING
almost always add cost to their products to compensate for FREE
SHIPPING.
- If an order's shipping cost
cannot be calculated at the time the order is taken, shipping
is calculated once your order's weight and insurance
value is determined. We will charge you only the actual shipping
amount required by UPS & USPS. PayPal orders will be charged
a handling
fee as noted below.
- We charge exactly what UPS or
USPS charges for shipping and insurance, and, unless the customer
request a specific shipping method, we always choose the least
expensive method.
- We accept PayPal transactions
for an additional HANDLING
FEE of approximately 3.5%-4.5% of the total order.
