Shipping:

We ship by Federal Express (FedEx) and the US Postal Service (USPS). When you enter your order and address information, but berfore payment, our Internet shopping cart system communicates automatically with the USPS and FedEx Internet databases to bring back actual shipping costs. Depending on the shipping method we may add up to $1 to these rates for packaging and other handling costs.

Please Note: If you use a PO Box, APO/FPO Address or a US prison address and select FedEx shipping we will ship by the US Postal Service, or FedEx SmartPost with final delivery through the US Postal Service at our discretion. Media Mail shipments to Military locations travel by surface (truck and ship), can take one or two months and usually cannot be tracked past the last non-military post office. 1st Class, Priority and Express Mail Military shipments travel by air and are delivered quickly.

• Free US shipping on most orders above $50.00 (US Only) is by US Postal Service (USPS) Media Mail and the estimated delivery time is 1 to 2 weeks for the mainland US. Hawaii and Alaska can take 2 weeks longer. Faster free shipping and sometimes free International shipping is available on some products when shown in that product's description and the shipping options shown at checkout.

When you checkout and delivery is to a non-residential address please add the name of your Church / Company or Other Institution to get this lower rate.
