First Class Mail is the slowest method there is. Best for light items that
you are not in a rush to get.

- Takes between 3 to 4 Business Days (but no guarantee of delivery time).
- Starts at about $4.90 but goes up depending on the weight and the distance
from Northern California that the items is being sent.
Priority Mail is best for light items that are NOT FRAGILE, when you are in
something of a hurry. As the items get heavier, it becomes CHEAPER to send them
by UPS Ground (see below), and it is also better to send FRAGILE items by UPS
Ground as well.

- Generally, the fastest delivery service we have available.
- Best for light items that you need in 2 to 3 Business Days.

order, and if the item is in stock or not.
- Starts at $15 for small, light items
- Gets VERY EXPENSIVE for larger, heavier items.
- If you want your item shipped express, then it MUST be sent to the BILLING
ADDRESS ONLY.
Express Mail is for light items (like clothing, jewelry, cards, CDs, etc.,)
that you need in a RUSH! once they start getting over about 2 pounds in weight,
you will be looking at paying a LOT more for express mail service. We suggest
that you stick with priority mail for items more than 2 pounds in weight, or
more than 12 Inches in length.
UPS Ground
- Actually, one of the SLOWER delivery services.
- Takes between 2 and 6 Business Days for delivery.
- best for HEAVY ITEMS (3 lbs or more) and big, bulky items.

Shipping Rates and Times OUTSIDE the USA:
If you live outside of the USA, then we will send your package by Air Mail,
which usually takes about one week to arrive. But your country's customs office
may delay delivery, depending on the import restrictions of your country.
REMEMBER: FOR OVERNIGHT OR EXPRESS DELIVERIES, WE WILL ONLY DELIVER
TO THE BILLING ADDRESS FOR THE CREDIT CARD. For Example: If the address on file
with your credit card company is your home address, we will ONLY be able to
ship the items to your home address. If it is a PO Box, we can ONLY ship to
that PO Box address. This applies to all OVERNIGHT OR EXPRESS DELIVERIES.
