Ground shipping rates in the Continental U.S. are based on the value of the merchandise and most ship via UPS (we do not offer FedEx Ground service).
Domestic air shipping rates and international shipments are based on the actual cost of shipping. Domestic air shipments ship via either UPS or FedEx and have guaranteed delivery times. We can also ship via USPS Priority Mail, but the service time is not guaranteed like UPS or FedEx.
Shipments to Alaska and Hawaii usually go via U.S. Postal Service (USPS) as FedEx or UPS cost significantly more.
Collect Billing. We can bill shipping charges to your UPS (ground or air) or FedEx (air only) account number. Please supply us with the zip code of the billing address for your UPS or FedEx account.
Information on tracking orders is found on this page.
Some packages require a signature upon delivery — read here for more information.

We can use USPS Priority Mail instead of UPS Ground. Delivery to addresses to the Midwest and east coast can be quicker, averaging 2-4 days without the expense of FedEx or UPS Air, but there is no time-definite guarantee like with UPS Ground. it is about $2-3 more than UPS Ground and must be specified in the comments section if you want this service.

*Smaller orders ($29 or less) which are shipped via USPS 1st Class or USPS Priority Mail are uninsured. 1st Class Mail is not traceable. Although we generally have good luck with this service, please USE AT YOUR OWN RISK as we cannot be liable for lost packages!
**USPS Priority Mail now charges not only by the weight, but also by the size of the box (dimensional weight charge), so large, bulky items like long lens cases and backpacks cost more to ship than smaller items.
++Includes insurance.
UPS guarantees ground delivery to all addresses in the continental U.S. as per the map below within a specified time period or the shipping is free
(waived between Dec. 12 and Dec. 25th or for inclement weather).

- Saturday delivery is available to some addresses for an additional $10-15.
- We charge the actual shipping fee, based on the zone and weight of the package. We will not know the exact shipping total until after your order is packaged and weighed, however estimates are listed above. We are in Utah, so shipments to the east coast cost more than other areas of the country. Long lens cases or pack frames are significantly more, as the "dimensional weight" rule applies -- i.e. they charge by the size of the box, not the weight.
- Please note that all UPS Ground shipments to California (except the NW corner), Washington, Nevada, Arizona, Wyoming, most parts of Oregon and Colorado are guaranteed in two days so a 2-day air shipment is unnecessary.
- *Afternoon delivery is not available to many rural addresses, in which case the morning rates prevail, but the delivery may be made anytime during the day.
