| Above is a chart of approximate
shipping costs. Shipping rates are functions
of many variables and fluctuate quite frequently.
The above approximations exclude all associated
international duties and tariffs. |
|
| Another important factor is
where the client takes possession of their
goods, and who is responsible for paying
each portion of the associated shipping
costs. A detailed chart explaining the terminology
is listed at the link below. |

| -Which
shipping method do you recommend? |
|
| Both timing and costs are
the major drivers in answering this question.
Generally, we recommend ocean shipment for
large volume orders. Shipping ocean will
allow a lower per pound shipping cost but
requires longer lead times. As mentioned
above, shipping via ocean typically takes
4-5 weeks. For smaller volume orders for
which time is a critical factor we recommend
airfreight. |
