UPS 3 Day Select, 2nd Day Air and Next Day Air Delivery Guarantee
UPS guarantees Air deliveries even during holiday periods, weather permitting. However, ground service is not guaranteed during holiday periods.
UPS is our carrier of choice because we find their service, rates and billing to be the most reliable, reasonable and accurate. We keep our rates as reasonable as possible and so offer low flat rate shipping. UPS standard rates are, in fact, generally slightly more than our flat rate charge for most delivery areas, even for small packages. We ship all orders in boxes via methods that can be tracked and confirmed. We do not ship in envelopes via regular US mail because we want to be assured that our customers receive their items.
How We Determine Our Shipping Rates
All orders are shipped in a box via a trackable method where possible to insure items arrive in good condition. We cannot ship orders in envelopes because items are too easily damaged or lost. Most orders ship via UPS because we have found them to be the most reliable shipper. We offer flat rate shipping and determine our cost based on the fact that the majority of online orders come from the East Coast (where the population density is greatest). We average our costs, add a small amount for a box, while still keeping in mind our flat rate shipping policy. The more you buy, the more it costs us, yet you pay only the flat rate.
Rising gas prices are affecting all shipping costs carriers charge. If you would like to see what UPS charges to ship a package from the West Coast to a residential address on the East Coast, please visit Determine Shipping Time and Cost. Our shipping zip code here in California is 94551, and a sample East Coast zip code in Washington, DC is 20001. (On a sample date of October 21, 2011, this amount was $9.41.)
We are proud of the reasonable rates we offer and make them readily available in your shopping cart. As soon as you put an item into your shopping cart you can see what your total shipping costs will be for any method you select. We do not hide shipping costs at any point from you, as many sites do.
Note for APO/FPOs, Other US Territories
We use an automated system to export your shipping address into UPS.
If your package has not yet been sent to our shipping department, we can easily change an incorrect address.
Weather Caused Delays
We are not responsible for weather caused delays in the arrival of your package and do not credit shipping costs under these circumstances. UPS also does not issue refunds for shipping costs in such situations. Please note that air packages affected by weather delays are no longer given priority delivery from UPS and will be processed in the order received by each facility.
Order Delays
Please review your order carefully - omissions will cause delays.
Sales Taxes
Sales taxes are charged on all orders delivered within California. Additionally, sales taxes based on delivery location are charged on the shipping/handling costs for these orders as required by the State Board of Equalization. No sales taxes are collected on orders shipped to any other states.
