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 some other 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 : We will gladly combine shipping for your order. The Ebay
shipping calculator will not combine correctly (it figures by packaged weight
rather than item weight + packaging), so we must do in manually. If you require
combined shipping, click the "request total" button or contact us.
Ebay's software doesn't always provide a "request total" button
depending on your browser/settings.
The total shipping charge is based
on package weight, and box dimensions. Starting Jan 1st 2015, ALL packages
shipped Fedex or UPS are going to be based on dimensional weight. To figure
dimensional weight multiply length x height x width and divide by 166. 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 hit the "request total" button, and we will send a
combined invoice (if applicable).
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.
