WHAT ARE SHIPPING CHARGES?
Shipping and packaging costs can have a dramatic impact on the economics of a volume purchase. Within the United States, we have found that UPS 100 weight ground shipping competes very favorably with motor freight. In general, a 100 weight ground shipping for ten items or more can be as low as $5 for the Baby Bench to $30 for the Adult Double Arm Bench. Boxing and packaging runs from $5-15 per box. For shipments outside the United States, boxing and packaging are the same, but the UPS advantage is lost. Shipping for small amounts (roughly less than six items) is very expensive even by ocean ship. For example, it costs anywhere from $100 to 200 to ship the Victorian Swing (which itself costs $219). Increasing the volume helps the picture. For example the following purchase went to England with a cost of $1,131.00 for shipping.
Shipping charges are based on the weight of the products purchased. We ship via UPS, FedEx and USPS. Your shipping (after carrier and desired delivery option has been selected) will be automatically calculated in real-time during the purchase process. Our servers are connected directly to the three main carriers and their databases for automatic real-time shipping and tracking purposes.
