How are shipping costs calculated? We charge a single flat fee for each shipment, plus additional, smaller fees for each item in that shipment. The total shipping charge will be displayed on the last page of the order form, before you submit your order. Here is the equation we use to calculate the total shipping cost:

(Highest Applicable Per-Shipment Cost) + (All Per-Item Costs) = Total Shipping Fee

Note: Per-item costs for some products are a flat rate per unit while for others the per-item cost is based on the product's weight. See rate chart below for details.

How are items shipped? We use a variety of carriers for each shipping option. It is not possible to specify a preferred carrier when placing your order. When you select One-Day or Two-Day Shipping, we may use air or ground shipping as necessary to get your items to you within the promised time frame.

What about Alaska, Hawaii, or APO/FPO addresses? Some items cannot be shipped to these destinations or shipping method choices may be limited. See our list of Shipping Restrictions or check the item's detail page for eligibility.
