If you are from Hawaii or Alaska it is cheaper to use U.S. Post
Office Priority mail. Their parcel post rates are not competitive
with FedEx Ground here in the continental states unless the state is
nearby but a feeder to Alaska or Hawaii can be shipped for around
$65.00.
The easiest way is to go to the USPS.com website and generate
your own shipping label, then either print and scan it, right click
on the actual label when it shows up on the screen and "save
as", or just save the label as a PDF. Email the label to us, pay
the cost of the product using PayPal using [email protected] as
the PayPal address and your package will go out the next business
day.
International orders must be handled through a forwarding service
as the paperwork is quite burdensome for even a small package. There
are two ways to get this done, online package forwarding services or
our new shipping partner that has an international shipping option.
Search online for package forwarding services, they will
accept packages in your name, then bundle everything together and
process the paperwork for exporting. Alternately, have the product
shipped to a friend in the U.S. and take it back with you in your
luggage when you visit. One thing to consider on
international sales is that you can pack about five to nine pounds of
additional product into the inside cavity of the feeder, most
forwarders will consolidate packages if you ask, just make sure it
will fit inside.
Using our inhouse international shipping, you have to send us your
address and the products you are wanting to purchase. We can
get a quote for the shipping from our shop to your house or to a
terminal near your house, and an approximate cost of the tariffs and
taxes and broker fees that you will need to pay.
An example, sending a medium feeder to British Columbia Canada
costs around $68.52 plus another import duty/tax cost of $23.40.
Once you place the order you choose the "call in a credit card"
option when paying for the feeder. If it asks for an address, use 358
North Rockwell Ave, OKC, OK, 73127, use your own phone number and
email address. You can put your own address in the comment
section. We will take that info, get a quote on the shipping
and taxes, email you, and you can call in your credit card number.
We ignore any shipping costs on the order and use the quoted export
shipping plus the cost of the actual shipping. Then you pay the
brokerage fee, tariffs, or taxes at a local terminal when you pick up
your package.
Or, we can add the brokerage costs, duties, and taxes into the
shipping quote. Usually it costs us $15.00 to pay someone in
your country to fill out the import paperwork in your country.
That is generally cheaper than using a local import broker.
We have been told that using our in house export shipping is
cheaper than using a forwarding service. And having everything
pre paid speeds the import process as the customs agents know the
paperwork was done by professionals and the package can be delivered
to your home.
Multi packs of feeders might not be
economical to send due to tigher size restrictions on export
packages. Individual feeders might be cheaper to ship one at a time
so we will check that option during the shipping quoting process.
