Most shipping companies have now gone to what is called "dimentional shipping" --- meaning, it doesn't matter how much a box weighs, it matter how big the box is. For instance, the 24" wire storks we sell only weigh 1 pound, but because they have to be put in a 25" high box, the cost of this is around the $20 range. They don't care about the weight, only that the box is taking up 25" in the back of the truck/plane.

A while back I decided to take the "shopping cart" off the website because there just seemed no fair way to make the system account for shipping. Since we have over 250 items, there was no way to figure what size box the items you ordered was going to be put in. So we took the shopping card off to save our customers money. If I had left it on, I would have had to "guess" how much your shipping would be and charge you WAY more than the actual cost. I'm sure some of you have been to websites and ordered stuff and cringed when you got to the part where they added on shipping....this is why....they usually guess......high! (and PS..... for those sites that claim "free shipping"... get real! They've jacked up the price to account for that.... no one is in business to lose money or give you free stuff.... so don't be fooled by that!)

We charge you exactly what UPS charges us after the box has been measured and weighed for your state. We ALWAYS check to see if priority mail shipping (for small items) is cheaper than UPS. We always try to send items the least expensive way. We will always put a full detailed receipt in your box. If you have any questions regarding your shipment, please do not hesitate to call us.
