All Shipments – Air & Ground
Air Shipments of Multiple Items
When you order multiple items via Air Delivery, an additional shipping charge may apply to each item shipped (that's how UPS and FedEx charge us).
We will let you know your total Air shipping cost if it differs from the amount automatically calculated on our web site.
Weekends and Holidays do not "count" as a shipping day
Example: Your order ships on Friday via Next Day Air. It is scheduled for delivery the next business day, Tuesday. Your order does not move on Saturday or Sunday (the weekend), or on Monday (the national holiday). It is delivered on Tuesday, the next business day, right on schedule.
The day your order ships does not "count" as a shipping day
Example: Your 2nd Day Air order ships Monday for scheduled delivery on Wednesday, the 2nd business day. The day your order ships (Monday) is not counted as a shipping day.
Example: Your Ground order ships on Tuesday for scheduled delivery on the 3rd business day, Friday. The day your order ships (Tuesday) is not counted as a shipping day.
Economy Shipping Method (FedEx SmartPost)
For many items, we offer an Economy shipping method. If you select this shipping method, your order will be shipped via the least expensive method available, which is almost always FedEx SmartPost.
SmartPost is a special shipping method designed for smaller, lighter packages. It is intended to save you money when speed is not an issue for you. SmartPost packages are carried from our location by FedEx and deposited at a SmartPost hub. At the hub, your package is handed over to the U.S. Postal Service for "final mile" delivery to your door (or PO Box). Please note that if you have a PO Box, you should always use it. If not, you should use your complete street address, including business name or suite number (if applicable).
Please note that SmartPost (unlike other shipping methods) do not have a guaranteed/predictable delivery date. SmartPost packages are pooled together and move around the country based on carrier volume and logistics on their end. Economy packages usually take between 6 and 10 business days to be delivered, but could be delivered several days sooner or later than that. If you would prefer your package to be delivered more quickly, consider upgrading to Ground shipping.
