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.
