SHIPPING FACTS THAT SAVE TIME & MONEY !

How do I save time and money, considering my location?
- USPS Priority Mail (Post Office) service will deliver to most US zip code addresses in just 2 business days, and keep in mind that they deliver 6 days per week. The real sweet spot on this service, if you know that it works for you. . . .a shipment sent on Friday will deliver on Monday! (Compare the cost of that service (shipping on a Friday) to UPS NEXT DAY AIR, same delivery day, huge difference in price. Yes, even on the east coast! USPS Priority Mail packages are loaded on FedEX airplanes only a couple of hours after I take them to the main post office in Phoenix. In most cases, your package is already in the major airport nearest your address by the next morning. It rolls on wheels from there but consider the service if you need fast, but not expensive.
- UPS services are dependable and offer a guaranteed delivery day, something that the post office does not do with Priority Mail. UPS services only work for the 5-day work week, Saturday and Sunday are not counted as a business day. If you are in Arizona, or in surrounding states, take a look at the map on this page to see how soon UPS Ground delivers to you. UPS Ground service to the southwest delivers just as fast as Priority Mail, and when you get past 2 or 3 pounds, probably for alot less ! Please take a look at that service map to check your location delivery times.
- Live in Arizona, or southern Nevada? UPS Ground service will deliver to you on the next business day, and probably for less than the cost of your gas to drive here and back. Friday shipments will deliver on Monday (so order on Thursday!!! =o)
- Live in the Los Angeles area? Because there is a large amount of truck volume returning west to the southern California service area, UPS has designated the following zip codes as the "L A Hot Zone" (from Phoenix) where your package will actually be delivered in only 1 business day on UPS Ground service.
90000 thru 91899 . . . and . . . 92400 thru 92899
Consider using this geographic opportunity to save some of your hard-earned cash. I know from 6 years' experience how much it costs to live over there. . . . and that was back in the 1980's !
- Look at the calendar before you choose your shipping method! If your order will be shipping on Monday thru Thursday and you want next day service. . . . you get what you pay for with UPS NEXT DAY AIR. But stop and look at orders that will ship on Friday and compare the Priority Mail options. . . . .
. . . . for a package shipped on a Friday:
- UPS NEXT DAY AIR delivers on Monday
- UPS 2ND DAY AIR delivers on Tuesday
- UPS 3 DAY SELECT delivers on Wednesday
- USPS Priority Mail will probably deliver on Monday or Tuesday
- Do your homework before you pay me! E-mail me with any questions you have and I will certainly try to offer you the best suggestions on delivery service and times.
- I will only ship your order using the shipping method you choose in the shopping cart so please look, click on the "recalculate" button and make certain it is really what works best for your schedule.
-
Most shipments will require signatures! Because most of the orders we ship are of considerable value, they simply must be insured to protect us both.
 A lost or damaged shipment can only be satisfied with insurance coverage, and I choose to protect my business on a daily basis, no exceptions. Keep this requirement in mind when you choose your shipping address as someone must be available to sign for the delivery.
- Your choice of payment method can restrict your shipping address options! If you pay for your order with a credit card, on the phone or securely on-line, I will ship your order to any US zip code address that you enter. If you choose to make your payment with PayPal, please understand the stated policy that I will only ship to your PayPal account's "confirmed address". . . no exceptions . . . as it is the only way that my business is protected by PayPal from a very real and constant form of on-line fraud. PayPal is an accepted payment method but it does have its limitations. PayPal is a very expensive payment method for merchants, and I accept it, but you will note that I make no attempt at promoting this service. (my opinions of eBay and PayPal can be found in another F-A-Q published on this site.)
