Shipping Charges
Domestic shipping charges are calculated based on the weight of the items, not the value of the order. The default shipping option is "Most Economical" which automatically calculates the most affordable shipping cost by comparing USPS Ground Advantage/Priority Mail from the Postal Service versus Ground rates from Fedex, UPS, and DHL. Customers may specify Ground Advantage/Priority Mail (takes 3-8 days) or FedEx Ground Shipping (takes 1-5 business days depending on location). For business accounts, we can bill to your shipping account number and waive the shipping charge.

Our international shipping charges are also based on the weight for the order. Any customs, taxes, or duties are the responsibility of the international customer. More information for orders shipped outside of the United States is available below.

Shipping Times
Our goal is to have our customers' orders processed and shipped by the second business day, but most orders ship out by the next business day.
