Shipping and Handling
(We do not ship orders on Saturday, Sunday, or Holidays). Our web store will compute correct shipping charges for domestic shipping within the United States. You will have several shipping options to choose from through United States Postal Service (USPS) or United Parcel Service (UPS). With USPS, we always use delivery confirmation with domestic shipping and packages are insured. UPS shipments have tracking and are insured.
Pricing for shipping options will be presented before you finish your checkout. All the items in our store are weighed properly so when you check out, it will compute the correct shipping charges for you and present you with your list of shipping options. If you put some items in your shopping cart and start the checkout process, you can see what the shipping charges will be without actually needing to complete an order.
Signature Waiver: On the shipping page during checkout, you may have the option for Signature Waiver.
If you select Signature Waiver: The shipping carrier will be directed to deliver your package without a signature being required. This option is not available for International addresses, orders which include HazMat items, and when the payment method is Paypal.
If you do not select Signature Waiver: You may be required to sign for your package upon delivery.

**Important Notes About Shipping Options
In August 2012, we implemented a new shipping service, called Mail Innovations. We believed this service would provide fast, affordable shipping options that would help support the free shipping program we recently rolled out. After trialing this service for six months, we have decided to terminate this option for domestic customers, due to the fact that it caused unnecessary shipping delays
We will continue to offer our best in class free shipping program to our customers. The additional costs to provide this shipping enhancement will not be passed on, as our low, competitive pricing remains the same. The only difference for you is the fact that your order will now arrive at your doorstep even faster.
How does Discounted Super Saver Shipping work?
For orders shipped to international addresses, P.O. boxes, and military APO/FPO addresses, we now offer Discounted Super Saver Shipping that will typically ship using Mail Innovations International or Priority Mail International. Rather than paying the full amount, we offer discounted rates with discounts comparable to those provided to our U.S. customers based on what a U.S. customer would normally pay to ship the same package via Ground shipping.
Additional Fees and Regulations
Government regulations require that we ship hazardous materials within the continuous United States (excluding Alaska, Hawaii and Puerto Rico). Shipments must be sent via Ground shipping. Fuel is also available for store pick-up. Additional fees may apply to hazardous materials.
