Shipping Costs

Below you will find a table of shipping costs.  We use the USPS (United States Postal Service) for all of our shipments unless other arrangements are made.

Shipping Inside of U.S.

To follow is a chart for shipments inside the U.S. mainland.  Shipping costs area based on the value of the purchase.  Shipments going to Alaska or Hawaii have an additional charge of $1.50.  This chart does not contain shipping services outside of the U.S. or international shipping.  For international shipping, please see the "International Shipping" section.

Handling

We do not have a separate fee for handling.  Instead, any handling charges for shipments inside the U.S. are included in the shipping cost noted.

Insurance

The USPS includes insurance for shipments with the value of $50 and under.  We include insurance in the shipping cost for shipments with a value over $50.  Shipments via USPS First Class Mail are usually "not insured" unless the value of the item shipped is substantial.  Most items with any value which are small in weight are shipping using the USPS Priority Mail Service which includes insurance of up to $50.

International Shipping

Shipping outside of the U.S. has increased significantly.   If you are outside of the U.S., it is VERY IMPORTANT to contact us first before placing an order so that we may quote you shipping costs.  The weight and dimensions are different with each product and we have found it difficult to easily and automatically calculate shipping costs for international customers since the U.S.P.S. raised prices years ago.  The best rate for international shipping is going to be for anything which can ship flat in a USPS Priority Mail Flat Rate envelope.  When viewing our products, if you are trying to keep shipping costs down, it is best to select products which are not assembled (un-assembled) so that they can be shipped flat. Products which are already assembled, in most cases will need to ship 3D and require a box for shipment which increases shipping costs significantly.  This is why we recommend purchasing products which are un-assembled or those which you need to assemble yourself.  This will also save you money on the product since un-assembled versions of each product are priced much less than the assembled version.  The USPS Flat Rate Envelope allows us to ship as much which will fit safely  in the flat rate envelope for one flat rate.
