If you are from AK or HI you will be contacted directly about shipping charges. Smaller, lighter orders may still qualify for the above.
Orders shipped to other countries have more expensive shipping explained below.

The majority of orders ship by USPS Ground Advantage.  (3-5 days delivery to most of the United States). If the package is large, heavy or bulky, we will ship via UPS Ground. If shipping carrier other than our choice is requested, additional charges may result.

If package is returned to us due to address issues or no USPS delivery at the location, customer is responsible for the cost of shipping for us to ship again. 

A note on packaging: We package our shipments to you in whatever the most appropriate box we have around is for shipping efficiency. Being a distributor we are surrounded by thousands and thousands of boxes and it saves us, you, and the environment to re-use and ship with them. You will not receive a fancy branded box, you'll get well wrapped and packaged hardware in a box that doing it's job a second time.

Express Shipping

Other shipping methods and upgrades such as Next Day Air, Overnight, 2nd Day, 3 Day & out of the country delivery will be billed to you at cost of shipping plus $5.00 for special handling. This will not show up on your order when you place it. This is determined by weight and is added to your bill in our offices. For Expedited shipping you must place a comment stating you want expedited shipping and call our service department at 618-395-3945.

Overnight and other express methods are given priority, but we still must have time to process your order, so the upgraded service you choose takes effect after processing time.
