The shipping costs are calculated based on package weight and shipping address zip code. The price of the packaging materials may be added to the total shipping cost.

DISCLAMERS
TEMPERATURE SENSITIVE GOODS
We ship goods that are sensitive to higher temperature. Therefore it is important that someone is present when UPS delivers a package. We are not responsible for the package after the first unsuccessful delivery attempt. You will have a tracking number and will be able to estimate the arrival date. We ship our products with ice gel packs, which will preserve them for up to 48 hours (depending on weather conditions), after which they are subject to unfavorable conditions, especially during the summer months. UPS makes deliveries to some states within 1-2 business days, which makes this option acceptable. In any other states, please select Next Day Air delivery or 2-Day option to receive the products in their original condition. Sometimes we will adjust the shipping dates of our products in order to avoid weekends. Although this may delay the arrival of your order, we are doing it to protect your order
