Shipping costs
Shipping rates for many of our items are based on weight. To match the policies of the carriers we use, all weights are rounded up to the next full pound.
Delivery estimates
When you place an order, we estimate shipping and delivery times based on the availability of your items and the shipping option you choose. Depending on the carrier, estimated ship dates may appear on the shipping quotes page.
These dates are estimates only. We are not responsible for shipments that are delivered late, but we are happy to help you file a claim with the carrier.
Packages returned to us by the carrier
- If the carrier returns a shipment to us, we can reship it or refund it.
- The original shipping charge is not refundable.
- There is an additional shipping charge to reship your order to a corrected address.
UPS
- UPS does not deliver to PO Boxes. You must give a physical address when you choose a UPS shipping method. If your order needs to go to a PO Box, please choose a USPS shipping method.
- If you give us a PO Box address with a UPS shipping method, we will either ship your order with USPS or contact you for a physical address.
- UPS expedited services such as Next Day Air and Second Day Air deliver on business days only. For example, if you choose Next Day Air and your order ships on a Friday, it arrives on Monday.
- Saturday delivery is an optional service with an additional charge. Checkout does not offer a Saturday delivery option, and the rates shown at checkout do not include it. Please contact us before you place your order if you need Saturday delivery.
- Because of the UPS "relaxed commit times" policy, we cannot guarantee that your order will arrive within the usual time frame for the shipping method. If your order arrives late, please file a claim with UPS. We will do our best to help, but we cannot guarantee that UPS will reimburse you. Shipping charges are not refundable if UPS does not reimburse you.
USPS
- We offer USPS Priority Mail and USPS Ground Advantage.
- Priority Mail has size and weight limits and is not available for all orders. The usual shipping time is 2 to 3 business days.
- This shipping method is insured only up to a certain amount. Additional insurance may be available at checkout. If your order total is more than the insured amount, it cannot be refunded.
- If there is a problem with your shipment, please contact us and we will do our best to help.
- If tracking shows your package as delivered but you did not receive it, please contact your local post office first.
DHL (international orders)
- DHL is our shipping method for international customers.
- Import fees are not included in what you pay us. All import fees must be paid by you, and we cannot predict what they will be.
International orders
- When ordering from outside the United States, the recipient is responsible for making sure the product can be legally imported into the destination country.
- The recipient is the importer of record and must comply with all laws and regulations of the destination country.
- International shipments may be subject to import taxes, customs duties and fees, which are charged once the shipment reaches the destination country. The recipient must pay these and any additional customs clearance charges. We have no control over these charges and cannot predict what they will be.
- Customs duties, taxes and fees are not refundable. If a shipment is refused because of unexpected import fees, the original shipping cost and any return shipping charges will not be refunded.
- Customs policies vary widely from country to country, so please contact your local customs office for more information. Customs clearance can cause delays beyond our original delivery estimate.
