Ordering & Shipping Policies

By submitting your order via US Postal, Phone, or Internet you are stating that you have read
all our policies, you understand and accept them fully.

Shipping:
We offer Free UPS ground delivery within the Contiguous United States for all orders over $30. Expect packages to take between 7 - 14 business days minimum for delivery. Please keep in mind that the delivery time is an estimate and not guaranteed to arrive in the allotted time. In the case of a possible back orders or lengthy delays we will try our best to notify you via e-mail. Absolutely NO SHIPPING TO INDONESIA!

Please note
: for FREE GROUND UPS SHIPPING is for all orders over $30, and your shipping address
must be correct. We ship most items via UPS ground so the delivery address cannot be a PO Box, APO, or FPO address. Also if the package comes back to us due to incorrect address, refusal, or not able to deliver we will bill you an additional $8.00 service fee for processing Plus the 20% restocking fee. If we simple reship the package out you will be billed for the first delivery attempt but no the second. So to help us avoid problems or delays double check all delivery addresses and ordering information.

For smaller items we typically ship US Postal but again addresses should NOT military addresses (APO, or FPO) as these require additional paperwork, time, and offer poor package tracking. BUt if you do have a normal delivery address or P.O. Box absolutely prefer US Postal please e-mail us after placing the order, or post it in the "notes" section of your order. We can give an estimate on the added shipping charges for this service...if any.

* Due to cost, shipping delays, issues with tracking and a concern to get our customers their products properly. We do not offer any shipping outside the
Contiguous United States. Unfortunately this includes Canada and Hawaii, Alsak orders will cost a little for shipping...but we can dermine the prices prior to shipping each order individually. For special delivery such as Next day, 2nd day, or other special delivery services there will be an up-charge on shipping, so please e-mail us with these request and we'll get an estimated cost for you ASAP.
