Delivery Information
Domestic Shipping (UPS or USPS delivery)
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.
Domestic orders can be sent via Standard Ground Delivery, 2nd Day Air, or Next Day Air.
If you buy items with different availability -- for example, an item available for shipment within 1-3 days and an item available for shipment within 14 -16 days -- you will have two options:
1. Ship everything together – This option helps you to minimize shipping costs by holding the shipment of your order until all items become available. However, you may have to wait longer to receive your order.
2. Ship items as they become available -- When you choose this option, each item will be shipped to you as it becomes available. You will pay the shipping costs for each package, but we make every effort to combine shipments so you receive your order as quickly as possible while minimizing shipping charges.
Use the table below to calculate your total ship time and cost per shipment.

International Shipping (including Canada)
International shipping is carried out by First-Class Mail® International (up to 4 lb) or Priority Mail® International. It's the longest and the cheapest way. Normally it means shipping in 10 workdays.
Your credit card will be charged for the shipping according to the US Postal Service rates plus 5% for handling and credit card fees.
Should you prefer more fast shipping method, please let us know about it within 2 days.
Exact prices may be defined on the http:/www.usps.com (shipping is carried out from New York, ZIP 11223). Important: Your order can be cancelled if no credit card charge approval is received.
Please note:
Customs and import duties are charged to the customer once the package reaches the destination country. These charges are the responsibility of the customer and will vary from country to country. We cannot determine what these fees will be. We recommend that our customers contact their local customs office for details on how these charges are assessed and applied.
Once the local postal system of the destination country receives your package, the local post office will make the necessary delivery arrangements. We cannot affect these arrangements. Actual ship time from the local post office to the final destination varies widely by country. Delays in delivery are usually due to customs/import duties or local postal guidelines.
