Shipping Policies

Shipping Charges

It is not our goal to make money on shipping. Our goal is to charge you as close to our actual shipping cost as the shopping cart is capable of calculating.

Our minimum shipping charge is $2.00.

We ship via the United States Postal Service

Most order ship in a flat first class envelope. We have found this to offer a fast, affordable, and reliable delivery. Please be sure to provide a shipping address that is usable by the post office. First class mail is not trackable. If you need tracking, please select one of the Priority Mail services. If USPS delivery just won't do. We can also ship via UPS and FedEx. Neither service is integrated into the online shopping cart yet. Let us know which carrier and delivery speed you prefer. You can explore the options and costs on the carrier's web site. Orders ship from the 94062 zip code.

When we ship orders

Typically we ship orders every weekday the Post Office is open. Most days orders go to the post office late afternoon Pacific Time.

Rush Orders

The shopping cart will offer Priority Mail Express as the fastest shipping option. Priority Mail Express offers 1 to 2 day delivery times. You can check the USPS web site for shipping from our zip code, 94062, to your zip code for better estimate on delivery times. The earlier in the day we get your order, the more likely it is that we can get it to the post office in time for overnight delivery.

Often we can ship a rush order the same day via FedEx, it's not an option on the shopping cart, so you'll need to call us. Our local FedEx pickup occurs at about 3:30pm Pacific Time.

If you need same day rush shipping, please call or email to confirm that it will be possible.

International Shipping

We ship lots of orders to international destinations. Our shopping cart can provide you with shipping options and costs. We ship using the United States Postal Service. Tracking is available through their web site up to the point the shipment departs the United States. The shipment is usually delivered by the receiving country's postal service, tracking is sometimes available. Delivery times are somewhat unpredictable, but most orders do eventually arrive. In some countries, customs fees and duties will be charged. You are responsible for paying these costs. Sorry but we can not declare your order to be a gift, nor can we misstate the value or content of the order.

Orders in Retail Packaging

Orders that ship to our resellers in Point-of-Sale retail packaging take a few extra day to process.
