Your choice of shipping option entails agreement to the associated terms below so please read and choose carefully according to your own needs and priorities.

Our domestic shipping options include USPS Priority Mail and UPS Ground, 3 Day Select, 2nd Day Air and Next Day Air. The specific options available to you at checkout are determined by the dollar value of the order you're placing, with very high value orders limited to the most secure shipping options. The various options are described below, sorted by order value. Below that, those same options are described again, but arranged by carrier. If you cannot abide either USPS or UPS and need your order sent another way, place your order with one of the available shipping options chosen but make a note in the comments field listing the carrier and shipping option you'd prefer. We'll get back to you with details and a quote for additional costs, if any.

Please Note: When you place an order, it is first processed and then shipped. Processing your order takes 1-2 business days before your order is shipped. All ship times listed below refer to the transit time from our facilities to your shipping address. That time begins when you get your email notice letting you know that your order has been shipped. Some of the shipping options described below will shorten the transit time and get your order from our facilities to your shipping address faster... but none of the shipping options will shorten the time required to process your order. Overnight shipping does not mean that your order will arrive the day after it's placed; it means your order will arrive the day after it's shipped.

Under $250

All shipping options are available for packages valued under $250. USPS Priority Mail and UPS Ground are the least expensive. Both of these options include Delivery Confirmation which provides the date and time a package was delivered or delivery was attempted. A signature is not required.

$250 - $750

Packages over $250 require Signature Confirmation. This method provides the date and time a package was delivered or delivery was attempted. Someone must be present at the delivery address to sign for the package. If no one is available when delivery is attempted, the postal carrier will leave an orange slip to let you know that the package can be picked up at your local post office or the UPS driver will leave a Delivery Attempted notice at your door. UPS will attempt to deliver 3 times before returning the package to us. If you want an over $250 package sent with No Signature Required, see the No Signature option below.

$250-$750, No Signature Required

If your package is valued at over $250 but less than $750 and you want it delivered with No Signature Required, you must accept the liability for the loss of the package, should it go missing. We will ship this way at your request, but we will not be able to locate or replace a missing package shipped this way. To request this type of delivery, paste the following text into the comments field of your order (with your actual name in place of [Your Name], of course):

"Please send my order without signature confirmation required. I understand that I am waiving any claim to refund or replacement of my order once the carrier's records show it's been delivered. [Your Name]"

Over $750

For packages valued at over $750, UPS is the only shipping method offered at checkout, due to their more robust tracking and faster insurance recovery. UPS offers comparable delivery times to Priority Mail for most destinations. If your order is over $1000 and you do not want UPS delivery, we suggest placing two or more lower value orders and choosing among the options available above for each of them. Alternatively, you can place your order with UPS chosen but make a note in the comments field listing the carrier and shipping option you'd prefer. We'll get back to you with details and a quote for additional costs, if any.

Have a Deadline to Meet?

We currently process and ship orders within 1-3 business days. USPS Priority Mail usually takes 2-3 days to arrive, including Saturdays, but that isn't guaranteed. So while you can usually expect your order to arrive within 3-6 days from the time it's placed, if you have a deadline that requires a guaranteed delivery time, you might want to consider upgrading your shipping method to UPS 2nd Day or Next Day service. Our production time of 1-3 business days will remain the same but your order's transit time will be guaranteed at two days or overnight, depending on the option you choose.

USPS Priority Mail

Delivery within 2 to 3 business days to most domestic destinations. Although the postal service is quite reliable and economical, delivery times are not guaranteed so if your order must arrive by a specific date, this might not be the best option. The cost is $4.60 for the first pound within the US. Packages valued under $250 are shipped using Delivery Confirmation which provides the date and time a package was delivered or delivery was attempted. Packages over $250 are shipped with Signature Confirmation required. If no one is available when delivery is attempted, the postal carrier will leave an orange slip to let you know that the package can be picked up at your local post office. If you do not want your over $250 package sent with Signature Required, see the No Signature option above.

UPS

UPS Ground - Delivery within 1 to 7 business days. Robust tracking system specifies the expected day of delivery, which is usually within 5 days from our central US location. If your order is over $250 a signature will be required. If no one is home to sign for it, the UPS driver will leave a Delivery Attempted notice at your door. UPS will attempt to deliver 3 times before returning the package to us. If you do not want your over $250 package sent with Signature Required, see the No Signature option above. For packages valued at over $750, UPS is the only shipping method offered at checkout. If you do not want UPS delivery for your high value package, please make a note in the comments field of your order and we'll contact you with alternate delivery options.

UPS 3 Day Select - Delivery by the end of the third business day.

UPS 2nd Day Air - Delivery by the end of the second business day. Some locations in Alaska and Hawaii require additional transit time

UPS Next Day Air - Next business day delivery by 10:30 a.m., 12:00 noon, or end of day, depending on destination.
