Shipping within the US
Our standard shipping method is by UPS ground service (1-5 days, not guaranteed). For faster delivery, 3 Day Guaranteed, 2 Day Guaranteed or Next Day Guaranteed can be requested, at a higher rate. Shipping charges are determined by weight, zone, and number of packages; and are charged as actual shipping charges plus a $3.00 handling fee (with a $9.00 minimum charge).
Oversize packages will be shipped by truck freight and shipping charges will be applied accordingly. C.O.D. fees are an additional $10.50. Indiana residents please add 7% sales tax.
Shipping Outside the US
All payments must be made in U.S. dollars. Please specify shipment by USPS Global Express (3-5 days), USPS Priority Mail or USPS Airmail Parcel Post (this method is not recommended because we are unable to track the package) unless otherwise indicated in the special shipping instructions.
Please inspect your package immediately upon receipt for accuracy and condition. Notify our customer service department of any deficiencies as soon as possible.
