FAQ
What shipping carriers do you use?
At this time, we use many of the major carriers such as USPS, UPS and Canada Post. We are always working to add more carrier options for your convenience. Shipping by air is not an option with products that contain lithium batteries. International shipments will only be allowed for products crossing physical borders by ground transit, such as between the US and Canada.
What if I don't know the exact weight and dimensions of my package?
Please include the most accurate measurements you are able to gather. It is imperative that all the information is accurate in order to prevent further charges for you shipment. If there are any discrepancies in regards to the dimensions of the box and/or weight then the credit card that was used to purchase the label will be charged to make up the difference.
In many cases, rates will be assessed using the dimensional weight of the package. Always round up any measurement to the next unit. For example, a measurement of 10.25 inches must be entered as 11 inches. As your package is in transit, the carrier will perform scans to check the actual dimensions against reported dimensions. If they are not matching, the carrier will assess a fee difference that will be charged to the shipper of the package.
