Shipping Information

We charge only actual freight cost on all orders over $10.00. Orders under $10.00 will have an additional $2.50 handling charge.

To keep shipping costs to a minimum for our customers we do not automatically calculate freight charge when you place your order. Because of the wide variation of our products' size, weight, and price, we can ship your order at a lower, more accurate cost than freight charges that are 'auto calculated'.

After we receive your order we will calculate shipping for the option you select and add cost to your order. If you would like us to email you with shipping charge before processing your order we will gladly do so - just choose 'yes' in the box next to where you choose shipping option. If you want to know the cost for other shipping options besides the one you select just tell us options you want in the "Additional Comments or Shipping Instructions" box.
