Tips for saving on shipping costs

-Before choosing your shipping option, refer to the above UPS map to see the exact ground transit time for your area. Once you match your area with its color, check the color key next to the map for the transit time to your area.

-Use UPS ground for anyone living in a yellow area (1 day transit) or a light orange area  (2 day transit).  If you live in these areas, it’s the cheapest option available and is also the fastest, aside from the very expensive overnight option. There is no need to use more expensive options like 2nd-day-air when a standard ground shipment is just as fast and much less expensive.
For Example:  If you live in a light-orange region like Ohio, and you place an order on Monday using regular UPS ground, that order is guaranteed by UPS to arrive on Wednesday. If you ship the same order using a 2nd day service, your order will still arrive on Wednesday, but you will have paid more than triple the shipping cost than if you used the regular ground service .

-For all customers living in a green area (3 day transit), you can save on shipping by using regular UPS ground instead of 3-day-select. Both options have the same transit time, but 3-day-select is more expensive because it allows you to choose morning or afternoon delivery. Unless you are choosing a next-day or 2nd day service, your cheapest option for a 3-day transit time is regular ground service.

*Please note that any order with a 3 day transit time will only be processed and shipped on Mondays and Tuesdays. Any 3-day orders placed on Wednesday or after 4pm EST on Tuesday will not be processed and shipped until the following Monday*

 

-For all customers living in a red, orange or grey region, the ground transit times for your areas do not allow for the use of the standard UPS ground service. The delivery options available in these regions are 3-day-select, 2nd day-air and next-day-air. In this case, the cheapest option available is the 3-day-select, which guarantees a 3-day transit and allows for a morning or afternoon delivery.

*Please note that any order with a 3 day transit time will only be processed and shipped on Mondays and Tuesdays. Any 3-day orders placed on Wednesday or after 4pm EST on Tuesday will not be processed and shipped until the following Monday*
