Shipping is now mostly handled by UPS over FedEx because of competitive rates.  We're consumers too, we understand shipping is sometimes an added cost that makes the difference of whether someone makes a purchase or not.  The largest contributor to lower shipping charges to the consumer is volume discount.  Big difference in how a courier service sees a business and treats them between shipping less than $20,000 a month in shipping costs vs. a company that sells $45,000 a month in shipping costs, most never take that into consideration.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What is standard shipping?

A: Our default method for standard shipping on domestic orders is UPS/FedEx Ground.  Orders shipped to a PO Box or APO/FPO address will be delivered via USPS Priority unless the order qualifies for USPS First Class.

Q: How can I track my shipment?

A: Your tracking number is included in the shipping confirmation email on the same day your order ships from one of our warehouses.

Q: My delivery did not arrive as scheduled. What should I do?

A: Please contact us directly if you have not received your order within the expected time frame for delivery. UPS claims can be initiated as early as 1 business day after the scheduled delivery date and are usually resolved within 8 business days (international orders may take additional time).

You are also required to provide a signed letter before the claim can be initiated.
