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.

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.
