Shipping Methods:

You may choose to have your order shipped by any of the following methods:

• USPS (United States Postal Service)
  • Priority Mail
  • Express Mail - Overnight
• UPS (United Parcel Service)
  
  • Overnight
• Local Pick-Up - Available in Johnstown, PA only
• Limited Local Delivery - Available to business locaitons in the 159** zip code on designated days.
  

We consider USPS priority mail service the best method for shipping your order especially if you are located on the west coast or any location outside the 2 to 3 day UPS area. The United States Postal Service indicates your package will arrive in 2 to 3 days from shipment regardless of your location. Additionally, since the mail moves seven days a week, we are able to ship your order usually within 24 hours of receipt six days a week. This means orders placed as late as Thursday and sometimes Friday will ship on Saturday except during peak holiday periods.

Since UPS does not move parcels on Saturday and Sunday it is not the best method of shipping unless you are looking for overnight delivery. For this reason, we have eliminated UPS ground service as a shipping option.  As the national map below shows, there are large resions of the country that shipments from our location would take up to seven days to arrive by UPS ground. It is for this reason we have chosen to limit the use of UPS to next day air service only.

Please closely compare the cost of shipping next day air UPS with that of USPS Express mail.
