NOTE 1 - Certain zip codes in Hawaii are not serviced by UPS for hazardous materials. These are: 96713, 96729, 96742, 96748, 96757, 96763 and 96770. We can ship to a friend or relative nearby, or to the UPS Customer Counter in Honolulu to be held for pickup. Contact us for more details. Certain areas in Alaska may take longer than the above estimation for delivery. Contact us for a more accurate estimate. Prices vary between Barge Companies, we ship freight collect. Most orders are charged the minimum barge fee plus an additional charge for handling. Contact us for specifics. All orders shipped via Barge or Air will not be shipped without confirmation on shipping charges.
NOTE 2 - Puerto Rico may charge a 5.5% sales tax on all products and shipping costs, see NOTE 5 below for more information. All orders shipped via Air will not be shipped without confirmation on shipping charges.
NOTE 3 - Certain areas of Canada are not serviced by UPS for hazardous materials. Please contact us to verify if we can ship to you (most major metropolitan areas are serviced). See Note 4 for shipping by FedEx. The brokerage fee when using UPS as the broker varies with the amount of the invoice, but usually averages $25–35 USD. The customs duties/taxes run from 5–15%. If ordering Sawdust, please note that CA customs charges a $16.00 CAD Agri Processing Fee. So for example, you have regular shipping rates + $25–35 brokerage fee + 5–15% customs duties/tax. Our normal method is to have UPS handle payment of these fees, that they then charge to us. We can calculate these fees before shipment and will charge them out with the initial order, we will inform you of these fees with the confirmation of your order. To avoid the brokerage fee, you can have your package shipped to a nearby point in the US and drive across the border to pick it up or clear your shipment yourself with Canadian Customs. We provide the necessary NAFTA paperwork for Canadian Customs. Contact us for more information if desired. All orders shipped to Canada will not be shipped without confirmation on total shipping charges.
NOTE 4 - FedEx does not ship hazardous materials to every country, or to all parts of Canada. Please contact us for more information. The hazmat fees for shipping FedEx International vary, but are usually no less than $105.00. All orders to Countries outside the US and Canada need to be for a minimum $800.00 USD worth of product. Please contact us for an exact price for shipping FedEx International. All orders shipped via Air will not be shipped without confirmation on shipping charges. See also Note 5.
NOTE 5 - Brokerage fees and customs duties/taxes vary. As we are unable to determine these in advance, they are normally charged to the credit card after we are billed by the shipper. As an alternative, you can pay the brokerage fee and customs duties/taxes when the package is delivered, but the package will NOT be left if these fees are not paid. All orders to Countries outside the US and Canada need to be for a minimum $800.00 USD worth of product. Contact us for more information if desired. All orders shipped via Air will not be shipped without confirmation on shipping charges.
