Shipping charges depend on the weight, value, size and destination of your package. Therefore we can't have a one-size-fits-all shipping charge. We normally ship each order using the most economic service for the customer. Please be sure to inform us if you require expedited shipping such as Next Day or 2nd Day Air. The minimum domestic shipping cost for boxes with a value of $100 or less and weighing less than one pound is $5.80. For domestic orders, most small and inexpensive items are usually shipped via Priority Mail. Heavier and expensive items are often shipped via DHL Ground service. Very large and heavy items, such as slab saws are shipped via a freight company. International orders are usually shipped via Global Express Mail, except for smaller, inexpensive items which can be shipped cheaper via International First Class Mail. Some moderately priced items and heavier items may be shipped via Global Priority Mail. Note: we no longer ship equipment that uses electricity outside of the US. We still ship rough, cabochons, beads, slabs and books to our international customers. Shipping cabbing and carving rough outside the US is very expensive. Depending on the price per pound of the rough, shipping can cost from 1/2, to the full cost of the rough. International customers: we DO NOT falsify customs documents on international shipments. So, please don't ask us to claim your purchases as gifts, commercial samples, or to undervalue your purchases on customs documents. It is both a federal and international crime to do so. If you have special requirements or questions regarding the shipping of your order please Contact Us.
