How much does shipping cost?
There is no set pricing for shipping. The best way to determine your shipping cost is to enter your items into your shopping cart online and proceed to check out.

Enjoy free shipping on orders of $75.00 or more (after discounts are applied) that are shipped within the continental U.S.A. using our reliable SurePost shipping method. See shipping page in check out for further shipping options. Payment is not required to determine shipping cost.
Domestic orders under $40.00 may ship via Postal Service for a flat rate of $5.45. Postal is a program through UPS called Mail Innovations. The way this works is UPS picks up your order from our warehouse, brings it to their sorting facilities and delivers it to your local post office. Then your mail carrier will deliver your order to you with your daily mail.

If your order exceeds $40.00, Postal is not an option. Please choose another shipping method available from the options provided.
