WHO WE USE HOW THEY CHARGE,

All orders received by 3:00 Pacific Daylight Time in California, will ship the same day. Orders received after that time, will ship the next business day. Orders received on weekends, state and federal holidays will be shipped the following business day.

*NOTE: The definition of "Next Day" or "Guaranteed Overnight" services, vary from person to person, and between delivery companies. Basically, the rule applies that if you live within a reasonably close proximity to a major metropolitan airport or terminal, these companies can deliver to you very easily. If, however, you live in rural Alaska, or out in the mountains somewhere, in a "remote out of the way" place, it will usually take two days no matter which service you use. Also, no addresses which are a Rural Route Box or Post Office Box, can be guaranteed next day by private carriers. Any address which is a United States Post Office Box, must be served by the U.S. Postal System only.

No insurance or guarantees of any kind apply in Mexico, or any other South American countries, as nearly no insurance is available, and because packages notoriously disappear.

Special services beyond those discussed here, will/may be subject to special rates, restrictions, etc. Please contact our customer service department for more information.

 

DELIVERY WITHIN THE USA
