How are shipping charges calculated?
Shipping charges vary according to product type and destination. If your order is shipped directly from one of our authorized manufacturers across the country,the individual manufacturers ultimately determine the method of product shipment. Therefore, we are not able to reduce shipping charges for any reason. Most products are shipped via UPS (because they offer package insurance and excellent tracking software). Larger items are generally shipped via common carrier, and require higher shipping rates. Select products offer an express shipping option. In most cases, this rapid delivery requires an additional fee.
Shipping charges vary according to product type,destination,the level of insurance and finally, THE SPEED of delivery. Most products are shipped via Fed Ex or UPS (because they offer package insurance and excellent tracking software). Larger items are generally shipped via common carrier, and require higher shipping rates. Select products offer an express shipping option. In most cases, this rapid delivery requires an additional fee.
When you select any of the UPS services, the shipping charge is calculated by UPS in real time, based on the combined weight of your purchases, and your zip code. We do not make any additional charges for packaging or handling. If you choose the US Postal Service (the most expensive method) we currently have no way of having those charges calculated in the same way, therefore a nominal amount will appear on your order, but this is a guide only. You will be charged our actual mailing cost, plus a $2.
