How are shipping rates calculated?
Bounty Hunter Rare Wine & Provisions shipments are all handled by FedEx. Our shipping and handling rates are based on the weight and number of bottles in your order. Insurance value is based on the value of the purchase. We will not ship a package without insurance. The website is unable to process orders without insurance. We do match standard industry charges, or come a little below, so that our charges stay competitive. The charges do include handling and packing material.
Shipping rates are calculated based on actual and dimensional weights. Dimensional weight is determined by using the International Air Transportation Association (IATA) volumetric standard. Bto Sports attempts to keep the package size to a minimum when possible. In some areas UPS has an extended area delivery charge of $20.00 in addition to the normal shipping charge.
Rates for UPS and DHL are calculated automatically based on current rates, factoring in the weight, dimensions, number of boxes to be shipped, and distance. Rates for common carrier (truck freight) shipments are more complex, involving the weight and size of the items, the number of pallets needed, the freight classification of the shipment, as well as distance to be traveled. If your order requires a common carrier freight quote, we will generally have this available to you within a few hours.
