Shipping & Returns

Shipping:

Shipping cost can be displayed while you shop if you scroll down the page after adding an item to the cart and inputting your zip code.  The shipping cost will continue to update as you add or remove items from the cart. 

Shipping cost is determined by weight of the items and is calculated using a data interface with USPS.  Most packages are going by UPS these days though. 

Over the last year or two this purely by weight calculation  has led to me taking quite the loss on any package over 24" or so as the dimensional weight is not accounted for in the shopping carts calculation that only uses weight.  

So as of January 2023 I am experimenting with new rate structure.  Over 5 pounds will be considered two packages and the cost added to the calculation will be + 15% to the shipping, and plus 2 pounds to the calculation.   After much experimentation this is proving to pretty close to actual. 

If you are wondering what is up with the funky packaging:  The plastic wrapped and taped edges has kind of been our thing for a long time.  Going over dimension just by the thickness of cardboard can make the shipping cost jump over double.   With having to utilize UPS now for almost all packages over 17" there is the added need for the paper wrap over the plastic to give the appearance of cardboard.   It sucks.  Its wasteful and it adds hours to the day but it is the only way to get it shipped to you and the cost I am able to do it at.
