Shipping within the United States

We ship UPS, We have found them to be extremely reliable compared to other services that cost less. Your shipping charges are calculated in real-time via UPS, these are their shipping and hangling charges alone, we do not add in extra handing charges from our end. We also ship USPS if you wish. If there are any additional charges for shipping or discounts for large order we will contact you to verify shipping BEFORE the transaction is complete. The table below represents typical ground delivery times from our facility. As you can see, its not that long for ground UPS delivery, its the best choice and cheapest for heaviest packages and often faster that USPS Priority.

All US orders above $99 receive free UPS ground rate shipping, it must be selected in your shipping options. This does not include tanks and weights or shipping to Hawaii or Alaska because that is actually the same rate as 2nd day air because it has to travel by air. If you encounter a problem please write a comment in your order so we can correct any shipping cost errors. When ordering multiple packages we always want to give you the least expensive option possible.

International Shipping

What carrier is used? For international we use USPS (United States Postal Service) Priority (4-6 days). However they are not as reliable as UPS, but more than 50% cost difference for packages more than 1 pound. These are current rates, calculated by the pound and by region. The total cost of shipping also includes delivery to the post office, since all packages have to be delivered in person.

Where is my international shipment? Many times your packages is at your local post office. We cannot mark packages as "Gift" since US Customs will mark it "Merchandise" anyway when they see our company name and place of origin.

Is my order through a Sercure Server?

Yes! Our ordering system is through Yahoo! Shopping and their secure server technology. You always verify that you are on a secure server by looking in your web address bar, the "http:", will change to "https:". We could pay a service to prove hacker free service, but we've never had a problem with Yahoo! and their technology and trust it. If you have any doubts about your privacy, please read our privacy statement.

Why was my order was cancelled or denied?

  1. Incorrect shipping address, each one is verified by UPS, which means no PO boxes
  2. Shipping and billing address do not match - due to internet fraud, on all orders with different addresses, we will contct you by E-mail and/or by phone. The order will we on hold until charge informtion is verified.
  3. CVV code was incorrect, or not entered, required for all Visa, Mastercard and Discover charges

  5. Phone number was fake, wrong number, we usually call our customers to verify orders
