SHIPPING INFORMATION AND TRANSIT TIMES
Shipping Policy : We ship to your credit card billing address or PayPal
Confirmed address ONLY. If you need an
item shipped to some other address than that, you will need to pay using an approved
alternative form of payment. On orders totaling $250 or more, you will be
required to sign for the package. Please make all arrangements with shipping
prior to sending payment.
Combined Shipping : If you purchase multiple items, do not pay. Click the
"request total" button. If you let Ebay combine they will over
charge, so we have to figure it manually.
Anything you ship these days is figured by the greater of
actual or dimensional weight. There is no software that can figure dimensional
weight correctly. There is no software that knows what size box that is
available and how an item needs to be packaged safely. It has to be done
manually.
The
"request total" button isn't there a lot of times. So if the “request
total” button isn’t there, contact us and we will send you a link to the
"request total" button. Calculating Shipping: The total shipping charge is based
on package weight, and box dimensions. Starting Jan 1st 2015, ALL packages
shipped by any shipping service are going to be based on dimensional weight. To figure
dimensional weight multiply length x height x width and divide by 166 for USPS and 139 for UPS/FedEx. Example:
12 x 12 x 12 = 1728/139 = 12.43 which rounds up to 13 lbs. All dimensions
are measured on the outside of the box and rounded up. So 12.25" rounds to
13". We have a large selection of boxes that we use to ship your item cost
effectively. We also build custom boxes for all larger items so that they can
ship as efficiently as possible. Certain
items are not able to be combined due to their size or ability to ship safely
together. To receive the combined shipping discount, the order must be
completed in 1 single payment. Orders made using multiple payments will NO
longer be combined since Ebay charges final value fees on shipping and will not
refund them on partial refunds. If you are unsure if your order can be
combined, just contact us with the items and your zip code and we'll get you a shipping quote.

Freight: On items that ship truck freight, you must contact us prior to purchasing to get a shipping quote.
Certain items that ship in multiple boxes we list as freight. The Ebay
Shipping Calculator is unable to figure shipping for multiple boxes.
There
are also other items that we list as freight which are for "Local Pick
Up Only". Please refer to the item description for details specific to
that listing.
Ebay Global Shipping Program: When you purchase through the EGSP, Ebay is handling almost
everything. On our end, we get an invoice to ship to the Ebay facility in Erlanger
KY. From there Ebay takes over. They process through customs, then they
consolidate with other items shipping to your country. And then hand off to a
local shipping service for final delivery.
We
can’t combine
items as there is no method for Ebay to figure the correct package size
& weight. We don’t handle anything other than shipping to Erlanger
KY. The majority of the shipping cost is
generated by Ebay from Erlanger KY to it's final destination.. Even on the shipping to Erlanger, there is no way to balance
a refund among multiple items. Handling Time :
We have a very efficient shipping staff. Most of our orders are
processed and shipped out the same business day, however, your service
selection may effect the pickup time. The handling time of your order
depends on what time of day you pay for your item, the size, structure
and quantity of your order. Please allow us time to package your order
properly. Transit Time :
We offer UPS ground on nearly all of our products. UPS offers the best
cost and accurate time effective shipping service. We also offer USPS
Priority Mail for smaller, lightweight items. UPS Company published
transit times, our observed transit time (time we normally see in
transit), and our pickup times are listed below. If you need something
delivered by a certain time, we suggest UPS, as their transit time is
guaranteed. Business days do not include Saturday, Sunday, Holidays,
nor the day of pickup. - UPS Ground - 1-5 Business days (1-6 observed), our pickup time is 1:30 PM CST
- USPS Priority Mail - 2-3 Business days (3-5 observed), our pickup time is 12:30 PM CST
Estimating your delivery time : Your total delivery time is handling time + transit time. Here are some examples: - You order a small easy to package item on Tuesday 10:00 AM.
If you select UPS, we will more than likely have that item shipped out
that same day, as our pickup time is well ahead. If you select USPS,
we do not have enough time to get it packaged for pickup that day, and
would be shipped the following business day.
- You order a large, difficult to package item on Tuesday 1:00 PM.
It is already past our pickup time for USPS, and would need to be
shipped the following business day. There is also not enough time for
us to package your item by UPS's pickup time, and would be shipped the
following business day.
- Misconception times : If you order an item on Friday at 4:00 PM. It
won't be shipped out until Monday. Also, orders placed after hours are
treated as being placed when we open on the following business day.
