DOMESTIC CUSTOMERS

Domestic customers within the United States will have a choice of three different service levels…Economy, Upgraded and Expedited. However, please note that if you use a PO Box as your shipping address, the only option available to you will be Economy. Only the USPS or UPS Surepost can deliver to PO Boxes. 

Economy-This is the least expensive option and slowest service. Your approximate time in transit is typically 7-9 days although it may be sooner depending on the distance to our facility in KY. Your order will ship one of three ways which will be dependent on the weight of your order. The lightest packages will ship UPS Mail Innovations or USPS First Class. Slightly heavier packages will ship by UPS SurePost. The heaviest packages will be shipped using UPS Ground. Your order may arrive by Postal Carrier or UPS depending on the weight of your order. 

Upgraded-This option is more expensive than the Economy level but guarantees that your package will ship UPS Ground regardless of the weight of your shipment. Your approximate time in transit is 3-5 days. This is a more expensive option but gives you reliable tracking and a delivery date.  

Expedited-This premium option is the most expensive but provides you with UPS 2nd Day Air service. No matter where you are in the United States you will receive your order 2 business days after it ships. 

Note on UPS Mail Innovations: If you selected Economy shipping and your package is sent via UPS Mail Innovations, UPS delivers your order to your local post office, and a USPS mail carrier will bring it to your mailbox or address. For questions regarding UPS delivery you may contact UPS Customer Care at 800-500-2224 or 1-800-PICK-UPS (1-800-742-5877) or, as always, you can start a conversation with our customer care team. Please note, sometimes there is a delay between when your order is shipped and when it appears in the UPS tracking system. If you don’t see your order in the tracking system, please wait 1-2 business days and check again. Delivery delays may also occur because of holidays and weekends.

However, we are only able to offer one set of shipping rates.
