Frequently Asked Shipping Questions



  • How do I view the shipping charges before placing the order? Check the Add to Cart Button, then click on Shipping Calculator in the Shopping Cart at the top of the page

  • How long should it take to receive my order? We generally will ship the next business day after receiving your order. East of the Mississippi River typically takes 1-5 business days to arrive to you. West of the Mississippi River typically takes 4-8 business days to arrive to you. Orders shipped 2nd day air can take up to 4 days. Saturdays and Sundays and holidays do not count in the two days as well. During and before holidays - shipping by standard UPS shipping times can take up to 2 additional days. Manufacturer drop shipped orders may require additional time for processing.

  • If I order to ship 2nd Day Air will I receive my order in 2 Days? Not necessarily........UPS and FedEx 2nd Day Air guarantees delivery to all 50 states by the end of the second business day (not including Saturday, Sundays or Holidays) When we ship the next business day after we receive the order, the minimum time would be 3 days. Orders shipped on Thursdays would be received 4 days later by the end of Monday and orders shipped on Friday would be received 4 days later by the end Tuesday......(Saturdays, Sundays and Holidays don't count). We try to ship all orders the same day that we receive them (we promise next day to be safe) ….so if we ship the same day on Mondays, Tuesdays and Wednesdays you will receive the order in 2 days

  • How can I track my order progress with UPS or FedEx? Our cart will send to you, automatically, the UPS or FedEx tracking number by e-mail as soon as they pick up the merchandise.

  • Why don't you offer next day air? We ran into a lot of problems when we offered next day air during the first year of our Internet Store operation. Some of the problems were due to UPS or FedEx failing to deliver on time, some of it was due to customers placing orders after our cut-off time and expecting to have it the next day, and some of it was due to our inability to process the order in the allotted time. We found that our customer satisfaction rate with next day air was not as good as we would like, and we, therefore, decided not to offer it.

  • Can I place an Internet order from outside the continental United States? No you cannot. The following types of orders require special handling and cannot be processed through our Internet Store at this time: International sales and orders from outside the continental United States including American Somoa, Canal Zone, Guam, Northern Mariana Islands, Puerto Rico and US Virgin Islands

  • Why was the factory carton opened and re-sealed? All cartons are opened prior to shipment and the merchandise is visually inspected and re-packed as required to protect them from damage in transit.

  • Can I use my shipper number with UPS and FedEx? Sorry, but we cannot use your own shipper number. We simply do too much business daily to be able to have exceptions to our way of shipping. We certainly can understand that you want to use your own shipper account, but in order for us to keep our prices down for everyone; we can only operate shipping one way and that is shipping all of our packages the same way with our selected shippers.

  • What does it mean that the shipping amount on my order reads $0.00? If the shipping amount reads $0.00 it simply means that your order has exceeded the standard 150 lb. shipping limit, and that we will be contacting you with your additional shipping charges before processing your order.

  • Why is the freight charge that you show different from the rate I get at UPS and FedEx websites? UPS & FedEx shipping rates quoted in their respective websites are only estimates and may be different than the actual charges for a particular shipment. Differences may occur based on actual weight, dimensions, surcharges, fuel charges, and other factors. Rates may also vary at retail locations. The total shipping shown on your order includes freight, packing and handling costs.
