USA Shipping Expedited (contiguous 48 states)
· UPS 3 Day Select at cost.
· UPS 2 Day Air at cost.
· USPS EXPRESS Service at cost.

Shipping charges are calculated when we pack each order as they depend more on the size of the box and where you live than on the actual weight. The cost for expedited shipping will be added to your total when we process your order.

To give you an idea of the average costs for those services:

A small box costs approximately $37.00 for 2nd day and $27.00 for 3 day
A medium box costs approximately $68.00 for 2nd day and $44.00 for 3 day
A large box costs approximately $114.00 for 2nd day and $69.00 for 3 day

USPS Express is usually less expensive than shipping UPS 3-day, 2nd day or overnight.
If USPS Express (overnight to most areas) is less expensive, then this is how we will ship.

If you need your shipment by a specific date, put the date you need it by in the comment field of the order form and we will select the best option for you so it will arrive in time.

You can see that it pays to plan ahead on your purchases. We understand that is not always possible and we will do what we can to expedite your last minute purchases.
