We ship all items within 1 business day after payment is received. Please click the Shipping and payments tab above to get an overview of your shipping options. A cheaper option may be available based on your location and service selected. We often charge a shipping fee. We will usually do this on heavier, bulky items so that you will end up paying a calculated fee which will get you the lowest possible shipping fee. (If we offered free shipping we'd need to estimate our price on the higher end of the range. This way you end up paying exactly what it costs and not overpaying if you happen to live much closer to us.)
