(In fact, if you do find anything lower anywhere else, just let us know, and we will try to beat it!)
Do you offer wholesale or reseller pricing?
Our prices are pretty rock-bottom as you can see!
Is there any Sales Tax?
7% Sales-Tax will be applied only for orders shipping to a NJ address.
There is no tax for orders to any other state, except for KopyKake products shipping to California and Gagne products shipping to a NY address, which may have those states sales tax applied. A small number of factory-direct items may have their state's sales-tax applied when shipping in the same state.
SHIPPING:
How long does it take for delivery?
Most orders arrive within 1 - 8 days.
Orders generally ship within 1-3 days of ordering (except when otherwise noted by specific items. UPS ground normally delivers within 1-3 days. Across country can take an additional day. UPS tells us that shipping to a small town, not near a big city, can take one more additional day.
We can try to do expedited delivery (i.e. Next-day Air, 2nd-day Air or 3-day Select) for the cost of the exact postage required. Just please request this in the comment box at checkout. (Please note that the exact postage for Next-day Air & 2nd-day Air can be quite expensive.)
What are the shipping costs?
All items are generally shipped via UPS unless otherwise requested. You will see your shipping total at checkout before you enter your credit card information.
We have some of the lowest shipping rates in the business.
For simplicity sake our shipping scale is based on the dollar amount of your order, and is as follows:
Orders from $0.00 to $29.99 have shipping charges of $9.95
Orders from $30.00 to $49.99 have shipping charges of $10.85
Orders from $50.00 to $99.99 have shipping charges of $11.95
Orders from $100.00 to $149.99 have shipping charges of $12.45
BEST-Richeson Easels and other large items indicating UPS Oversized shipping will be charged an additional $7.60, $13.75 or $27.50 (depending on their amount of weight and oversize) as indicated on their pages in our site. BEST-Richeson Easels and other items too large for UPS, indicated by the item as needing "Trucking Company shipping" will be charged an additional $94.50 as indicated on their page in our site, (this is actually a very low rate for Truck shipping.) These shipping charges are strictly for items that say so by the item on the website. All Oversized and Truck-shipping required charges are clearly marked by the items site. These charges are on top of the shipping rate scale above.
You will see these shipping charges clearly calculated at checkout before you enter your credit card information.
Please be advised that truck shipments sometimes are officially "Tail Gate" deliveries, and drivers may not take a large carton, crate or package to upper floor locations without additional compensation. However, generally, when asked nicely (with a smile!) they do bring it in. (A tip helps too!)
Orders to be shipped outside of the Contiguous United States, i.e. AK HI & PR, may incur additional charges for the exact extra UPS postage required for international shipments. Tentatively, at checkout, an approximate charge of $45.00 American Dollars will be seen added for this. If you would like shipping VIA Next-Day Air, 2nd-Day Air or 3-Day Select, please note it in the "comment" box on the billing page and we will try our best. (Only the exact additional UPS or USPS postage will be added.)
What carriers are available to ship my order?
UPS and for some items USPS too. Oversized items (too large for UPS such as furniture) go via National Trucking Companies, such as BAX Global, Yellow Freight and others depending on your area.
