Shipping Information:
Pond Pets USA will try to ship all in-stock items within 1-2
business days. If an item is out-of-stock, you will be informed by
email of the
expected shipping date. In some cases, out-of-stock items will be
drop-shipped directly from one of our distributors.
We strive to provide you with the lowest shipping cost possible!
Shipping costs are based on each shipping box's dimensional size,
weight, shipping method and delivery address. All shipping costs are
calculated and based on shipping to a residential address. In addition,
there is a nominal $1.00 handling charge applied for each box shipped.
Orders are normally shipped using UPS Ground
Shipping, unless you
request one of UPS's faster shipping methods (see below).
However, there are circumstances that we ship using USPS
Priority Mail (depending on size of order).
If you would like a shipping quote for your order, please contact
us prior to placing your order. Shipping quotes are valid for up to 7 days from the date
given. In order to receive the shipping quote given, you must
indicate the date the quote was given, along with the amount quoted in the Special Delivery Information section
of your order. Adjustments will not be made after the order
is processed.
(Sometimes we have items shipped directly from one of our distributors,
so the shipping carrier may differ from UPS. Some of our distributors
use other carriers, including FedEx and Airborne Express.)
For an additional charge, we can also ship using faster
shipping methods:
UPS
Next Day Air, UPS Next Day Air Saver, UPS 2nd Day Air, and
UPS 3-Day
Select at your request. You can request one of these faster methods
under the "Special Delivery Information" section of your order. If you would
like a shipping quote for one of these faster methods, please contact
us prior to placing your order.
Note: Some items are too large or too heavy to be shipped through UPS,
and would need to be shipped thru a freight company. If your order will
have to be shipped thru a freight company, you will be contacted by us
prior to your order being processed to give you an idea on the cost of
shipping.
