Shipping, Handling and Insurance
Domestic Shipping -
Easily Estimate Shipping Cost To get an estimate use the shopping cart and put your items into the cart, then enter your destination city and zip code and/or country to get a specific order amount with our charges for shipping included. You will also have an opportunity to change your shipping option at this time.
If your order form is complete and accurate, and received by our fulfillment center by 12:00PM Pacific time, orders for locations in the USA are normally shipped the same business day but this depends on our workload. Otherwise they will normally go out the next business day. Your shipping choices on domestic orders are UPS and USPS Priority Mail.
For USPS and UPS we now use their Real Time Rates so you are charged based on:
1. The distance from your location to our fulfillment center in Fallon, Nevada.
2. The total weight of your order.
3. How quickly you need it delivered.
We recommend UPS so that we can effectively track and insure the delivery of your order.
All of our UPS tracked and insured shipments are guaranteed against loss or delay. These guarantees do not cover delays due to natural disasters or weather but in the event of a covered claim we will do one or more of the following: refund all or part of your shipping costs as appropriate, deal with the shipper and make the claim for the loss, expedite your replacement order as soon as possible.
Domestic Shipping
UPS Ground - We use UPS Real Time Rates and the cost varies based on the weight of your order.
UPS Second Day -We use UPS Real Time Rates and the cost varies based on the weight of your order.
UPS Next Day - We do not offer Overnight Delivery.
FREE SHIPPING is available inside the USA!! Buy $100.00 or more of our products, place your order online, and get FreeGroundShipping. Just select UPS Ground and enter the coupon code "FreeGroundShipping" when you enter your shipping and credit card billing info and your shipping is free!
Please note - Shipping charges for battery wallets and plastic battery cases is a little more than the actual weight of the cases because the Yahoo store integration with UPS Real Time Rates only allows a minimum weight of 0.1 lb per item.
USPS Priority - This option is very cost effective for customers in Alaska and Hawaii and is available for shipments over one pound. It is not the recommended option for orders to be shipped to destinations inside the continental USA because we have such good rates with UPS that are trackable and insured. USPS Priority is an inexpensive option for small orders that do not need to be tracked or insured against loss. If you prefer to use USPS for your packages for APO, FPO, and PO boxes, or for deliveries to Alaska and Hawaii, just select USPS Priority. However, if you select this shipping option and the USPS loses your package we cannot replace it, so please do not select this option if you want our standard, fully trackable and fully insured shipping service. FYI - USPS sometimes cannot track their packages, and they can sometimes take 7-10 days or more depending on your location, so if you choose this shipment method you need to be patient.
International Shipping -
Easily Estimate Shipping Cost To get an estimate use the shopping cart and put your items into the cart, then enter your destination city and zip code and/or country to get a specific order amount with our charges for shipping included.
What countries do we ship to exactly? - Use the same shipping estimator and get a complete up to date list of the countries that we accept orders.
UPS Real Time Rates are used here too. USPS is a good option if you are already familiar with internatinal import duties to get your products imported. Out Canadian and Australian custmers tell us that thsi is the most cost effective shipping option for them. To get an estimate use the shopping cart and put your items into the cart, then enter your zip code and/or country for international deliveries to get a specific order estimate with shipping cost. International orders do not include import duties and tax that may be mandated by your country and collected by the carrier.
International orders are normally shipped within two business days of receipt. This service usually delivers your package to you in just a few days, unless there are delays in customs in your area. (We are not responsible for customs delays, fees, or taxes if required by your country and we are required to send a commercial invoice that reflects the actual sales total of your order - without the shipping cost.)

We also have this new Order Status Portal page where you just enter your email address and order number to check the status of your orders, previous orders and you can also create new orders once we have that feature set up. Go to Order Status Portal pageWe have also included the following tracking links and phone numbers, where available, to assist you in keeping track of your orders.

There is nothing to be done if the USPS tracking does not show any helpful data except to wait. ;-(
It is very common for the USPS tracking info to not show anything useful. Their tracking is notoriously bad. It is not unusual for the tracking to show nothing till the package arrives and that can be a few days fpr domestic to a few weeks for international. Just check it every few days, if you like, or get back in touch with us after at least a week or two if you want us to begin the process of initiating a lost package claim. No need to worry though, you will not have to pay for the order if you do not get it. If it does get lost (this does not happen very often, but it does happen) we will replace it for you because all shipments include insurance.
