Important Shipping Information

First is to say Thank You for visiting this site. I too am an avid on-line shopper and there is nothing more frustrating for me than to find the right item and wrong shipping! To help make your experience the best possible please read below:

• I offer USPS, UPS and FedEx when i can
  
• THE WIX SHOP CART SHIP CALCULATOR HAS NO BRAIN!
• IT IS A FINE PLATFORM FOR RETAIL SALES, BUT NOT SHIPPING. FOR MOST SMALL ITEMS YOU WILL NEED TO MANAGE BY KNOWING USPS SHIP WEIGHTS AND RATES. YOU THE CONSUMER MUST FIRST SEE THAT THE SHIPPING OPTION GIVES YOU "OPTIONS' SO REVIEW IF THERE ARE VARIABLE METHODS TO SHIP AND IF THE RATE CHANGES SUCH AS 1 FLAT RATE BOX/PACK VERSE BY WEIGHT / DIMENSION.
• SOME ITEMS ARE BULKY, YET LIGHTWEIGHT, WHILE OTHERS ARE BIG AND HEAVY, AND TO COMPLICATE THINGS MORE AS THERE ARE EVEN SOME ITEMS THAT SHIP FREE, BUT THIS WILL CONFUSE A SHIP CALCULATOR IF COMBINED WITH NON-FREE ITEMS?
• IF YOU SUSPECT THE SHIP CALCULATOR IS USING "SIR BEDEVERS LOGIC" ( A duck weighs the same as a Witch) then contact us and we can try to fix the bug?
• WE DO CHARGE ONLY ACTUAL RATES AS COMPILED BY PAYPAL SHITSTATION AND WE ALSO HOLD THE OPTION TO CANCEL OR AMEND A SERIOUSLY LOW SHIP CHARGE, AND WE DO NOT SHIP FREE INTERNATIONAL.

USPS Shipping Insurance

High value items may require additional insurance. Regardless of USPS "Claim" to offer $50 insurance on Priority packages, it DOES NOT! The USPS is about as reliable as having a drunk stock the shelves at a liquor store. You know that he can't drink it all, so there will be some loss, but the drunk is the only one who will work for low wages?

They DO NOT honor Insurance Claim on $50 free with Priority? Try to tell the post office that they did not deliver the parcel, when the drunk claims he put the bottle on the shelf!

Select Items Ship Method

• High Value Items - You want a safe and secure method that is guaranteed, and I cannot afford to have a shipper simply leave an item on a doorstep to be stolen? So Signature Required and NO drop boxes, NO freight forward boxes, NO P.O. Boxes. All High Value items require a phone number
• Scuba Cylinders - ship via UPS ground delivery with signature required - the fee is often "free" meaning its buried in price - SORRY NO SHIP to HI or AK or US territories.
• Dive Computers - Ship via USPS Flat Rate Box with Signature Required

Actual Shipping Cost

We do not make profit on shipping, unlike many companies we only charge actual cost and quite often refund small over charges in payback to your PayPal account.
