For International orders:
Shipping charges will probably be more than the cart charges.  Order online and we may need to email you a link to pay any additional postage.  You can also email us ahead of time for an estimate on the shipping.   You can use the cart to get a price quote and to create the list for a shipping estimate (copy and paste it into the email).  Note that all orders must be placed with our shopping cart.

We do not accept International returns.  All sales are final.

Shipping - USA

We use USPS and UPS for shipping.  We can provide express delivery services if available in your area.  Please email us your
specific requirements A day ahead if possible since there are specific cut off times for the express services.
Large - Heavy packages ship by UPS ground.

We normally ship by USPS Priority mail which usually takes 2 days for delivery.  Delays can occur due to bad weather around
the country since the mail travels on commercial airlines.

First Class Shipping - In some cases, where the packages are small and lightweight, we can ship by first class mail for $3.00.
If you desire this,  let us know by leaving a message in the cart.  If possible, we will ship it by first class and issue a refund for
the balance.

Insurance is available for both international and domestic shipping.  Email us for details on the pricing for your order.

Free shipping offers do not include insurance.  You must pay extra for it.  We are not responsible for shipping damages.

Domestic shipping insurance can be purchased here  Shipping Insurance  and on most product pages.

We are not responsible for shipping damages.  USPS will not cover losses without insurance.   

Lost Packages

We ship Internationally on a regular basis and have had no problems.  However, most package delivery delays are caused by "Customs Services" in your local area or somewhere along the route in your country for any number of reasons which we cannot explain.

Since we have no control over these type of issues with Customs around the world, all non delivered package claims cannot be honored
until 45 days after the actual ship date of your order.

Occasionally, a package will get delayed. Please have patience with us and your "Customs Services".  Our experience has shown that
your package will probably arrive safely.  We have never lost a package and ship hundreds around the world each year.

Be sure to check with your local PO.  Sometimes they lose the shipping notice and your package will just sit there on a shelf
until you claim it.  In some cases your PO will return the package to us at your expense.

APO/FPO

We are very proud of the job our military folks are doing and offer a 10% discount and free shipping to all orders that ship to
APO/FPO addresses.  In some cases, with small orders we may not be able to ship totally free but will do the best we can.

We limit the free shipping charge to a maximum of $15.  Any amount greater than $15, you must pay.  Usually, only  APO/FPO
addresses on the west coast or beyond  will reach amounts greater than $15.

We no longer provide a discount or free shipping on orders below $40 (1/2008).  APO/FPO packages require a customs form that
must be filled out by hand and a trip to the PO - waiting in line......

Discounts may not be available for special sale items.  Email us for details.

Discounts may not be available for some items due to low margin.    Email us for details.

Place your order online as usual.  When processed, your discount(s) will be handled as a refund.

Please mention that you are active military in the cart message to remind us (non APO/FPO).  A follow-up email to let us know
will be ok as well.
