A nonrefundable flat fee of $5.95* will apply to each order for which our standard shipping and handling service is selected.  Most orders, including all orders** up to 3 lbs., are shipped Priority US Mail (averages 2 day service to most domestic destinations).  Please include both a physical address and a P.O. Box (if applicable) as your package may be shipped US Mail or UPS depending on the quantity and products ordered.


Unless a split shipment is requested, each order is shipped complete.  If items are out of stock, and your order can not be shipped complete, we will contact you with options.

                  

* We do not solicit business outside the United States at this time and our Standard Shipping and Packaging terms generally only apply to shipments within the 48 contiguous states.


** Vulkem is a product that does not qualify for Priority US Mail shipping and will have to be shipped UPS Ground.  Cane bolts may be shipped using the UPS or USPS service (our option).

Alaska & Hawaii Shipping Information

USPS has new Priority US Mail packaging/shipping options where we are now able to offer Alaska and Hawaii customers a standard $5.95 S&H option. These orders will be shipped using the USPS Priority US Mail delivery service.***

The Shipping & Payment check-out screen lists the standard $5.95 S&H option, as well as UPS delivery service options and pricing. Select your preferred delivery service option by clicking the corresponding radio button.

*** Please note that although USPS classifies Alaska and Hawaii as zone 8, and suggests that 2 to 3 days is typical for delivery, we have seen instances where the delivery service takes longer. Also, there may be a few exceptions, like Vulkem, in which case an e-mail notice will be sent listing other S&H options.

Standard Shipping Insurance

Our standard $5.95 shipping and handling service provides insurance on the contents to the point of delivery.  We are not responsible for a shipment once a delivery notification has been issued by the carrier.  In the event that a shipment or item/s are lost in transit, we will attempt to replace the item/s, or if unavailable, offer a substitution, or issue a refund.


If you are concerned about the loss of a shipment at your location, you might consider the following options:

USPS Shipments- you may request Signature Confirmation for an additional fee of $2.35/package.

UPS Shipments- you may request (1) that the package be held for pick-up, (2) Delivery Confirmation Signature Required for an additional fee of $2.75/package, or (3) Delivery Confirmation Adult Signature Required for an additional fee of $3.75/package.  Click the links above for review of each service, the carriers obligations, and your obligations.  Please understand that the above options are not insurance, and that refused/undeliverable package costs will apply if you do not fulfill your obligations and a package is returned.


If you select any of the following 3 options, depending on the carrier we select, the additional corresponding service cost will be added to your invoice.
