USPS

Due to problems we've had with shipping USPS, we recommend not using it.

If an item is shown as IN STOCK we will automatically ship via USPS (United States Post Office) to Alaska and Hawaii. We realize that shipping USPS to these locations is normally cheaper than FEDEX. The Cart will charge you the FEDEX shipping cost. Once your package is shipped, we will credit you the difference in shipping cost. If an item is SPECIAL ORDER, it will be shipped via either FedEx or UPS.

If an item is IN STOCK, we ship USPS to Post Office boxes. If an item is SPECIAL ORDER, you must provide a physical address for us to ship to, no USPS.

We do NOT ship USPS to any other destination. We have compared prices and FEDEX is cheaper than either USPS or UPS on an overall basis. We need tracking info and automatic emails with tracking info for customers with tracking.

APO

All APO shipments are made via USPS and may take up to 48 hours.

TRIVIA

FEDEX GROUND and FEDEX EXPRESS are essentially two companies. They have different trucks, different drivers and different terminals. Once a package has been shipped it can not be switched from Ground to Express.

GROUND

The Ground trucks are typically owned by the driver. He/she is paid by the number of packages delivered in a day. If the driver delivers 100 packages in 5 hours or 100 packages in 8 hours, he/she makes the same amount of money. As a comparison, the UPS driver is paid by the hours worked. The UPS driver will be paid for 8 hours whether they deliver 50 or 100 packages. They have very different compensations. UPS owns their trucks - drivers do not.

The FEDEX Ground situation is further complicated in that they have trucks that deliver only to residential neighborhoods. HOME DELIVERY is written on the sides of these trucks. FEDEX Ground have different trucks that deliver to commercial addresses.

You need to select the correct method: Ground or Ground Home Delivery for fastest delivery. If you select the wrong option and shipping is more than that calculated in the Shopping Cart, we will automatically charge you for the difference. Example: you selected Ground. Correct selection was Ground Home Delivery.

EXPRESS

The EXPRESS trucks are owned by FEDEX. However, the drivers are paid by number of packages delivered. That's why they are always in a hurry.

So, if you wonder why one driver will spend time chatting and one driver is in and out - you now know "the rest of the story."

MINIMUM SHIPPING cost is $8 per shipment.
