GENERAL INFORMATION

Our shipping is calculated based on weight, size, and destination. The heavier your order, the higher your shipping cost will be. Our shipments originate in New Jersey; so the farther away from New Jersey you are, the higher your shipping cost will be. For UPS domestic shipments, we use the carrier’s published shipping rates. For UPS international shipments, we offer a discounted rate off the carrier’s published shipping rates. For USPS shipments, we add a minimal charge to the carrier’s published shipping rates to cover our cost for the service of Delivery Confirmation (domestic only) and for insurance against loss or damage. Most orders require 2-3 days to process before shipment.


HOW TO GET A SHIPPING QUOTATION

To see your shipping options/costs before entering your personal information, enter the products and quantities that you want to order. On the Shopping Cart Summary Page, enter your Zip Code and click on “Shipping Quote”. Note that the shipping options displayed are based on zip code and country only. Actual shipping options presented on the checkout page may differ depending on additional address information and any product restrictions.

    ORM-D PRODUCTS

    A number of our products, mainly aerosols, are designated as ORM-D Consumer Commodities. ORM-D stands for Other Regulated Materials, Domestic. It is a designation assigned by the U.S. Department of Transportation to denote a small amount of material that can be considered a hazardous substance, but packaged in a form intended or suitable for retail sale.

    ORM-D products must be shipped via a ground method of transportation. Therefore, orders containing ORM-D products must be shipped via UPS Ground; and we limit their sale to the 48 contiguous United States.


    RESTRICTED PRODUCTS

    A number of our products are not shipped outside of the 48 contiguous US because of their weight, size, packaging, and/or increased risk of damage in transit. These products display the message: “Delivery within the 48 Contiguous United States Only.” Products restricted to the 48 Contiguous United States may not be shipped to APO/FPO addresses.

    We also sell products that are not permitted by the manufacturer to be shipped outside of the United States OR that we choose to not ship outside of the United States (shipments of these products are allowed to destinations in the 48 contiguous United States, Alaska, Hawaii, Puerto Rico, Guam, US Virgin Islands, the Northern Mariana Islands and APO/FPO addresses; however, shipping options are limited for locations outside of the 48 contiguous US). These products display the message: “Delivery within the United States Only”.


    SHIPMENT CONFIRMATION & ORDER TRACKING

    Customers who provide a valid e-mail address while placing their order will be notified via e-mail when their order has shipped. For orders shipped via UPS (United Parcel Service), the e-mail notice includes a tracking link for the shipment (tracking information may not be available until after 4:00 PM). There is also an Order Tracking selection at the top of our home page. To track your order from this link, you will need your order number and your zip code.

    NOTE: Tracking is not available for orders shipped via USPS First Class or USPS Priority Mail shipments.


    REFUSING DELIVERY

    Orders that are refused and returned to us by the carrier will receive credit for the product that can be resold LESS any return shipping fees imposed on us by the carrier
