Shipping & Delivery

Shipping Rates

Shipping and handling charges are based on the particular products in your order. We calculate the cost on the basis of product weight and size, how products can be safely and efficiently combined in packing and the method by which they can be shipped.

The weight of a product may be found on its detail page and it reflects the packaging weight only. Please note our shipping weight estimate does not represent the actual weight of the product.

To find out the exact shipping cost of an item to your location, please add the item to your shopping cart from the product page and enter your zip code and our shipping calculator will compute the shipping cost instantly based on the shipping method chosen. For a special shipping quote, please contact us by email.
