About Shipping

Orders submitted before 11 am (PST) Monday - Friday, unless it is a holiday or the Monday after a holiday, or there is a problem and we need to reach you, are normally shipped the SAME DAY, except sometimes on Mondays and the day after a long holiday weekend when there are too many weekend orders to get them all out. If you have a deadline, let us know.
Orders submitted at 11am or later (PST) Monday - Friday are normally shipped the NEXT WORKING DAY unless there is a problem with the order.
Please keep in mind when choosing shipping options that only business days are counted, not holidays or weekend days.
Shipping cost is based on weight, and only occasionally, dimension for lightweight but bulky stuff. Light stuff normally costs less than heavy stuff, unless it is really bulky. There's nothing tricky going on here, but the computer doesn't always know if your package is going to have an extra dimensional weight charge as it doesn't know the size box we have to use, only the weight. We might have to call you if the shipping comes out to more because the item is light but bulky.
You can know the exact shipping cost (except for situation above) before you buy - just put the item(s) into your shopping cart, enter your postal code, and the cost to ship it every way possible will be displayed!
