What is an Oversize charge?
Products that are considered to be over sized due to the weight or dimensions of the shipping box will be shipped by Economy or Ground per requirements of the shipping service provider. An additional $5 per over sized item will be added to the shipping changes due to the increase in costs by the shipping service provider for larger or heavier items.

Can I ship my order internationally?
Currently at this time we do not ship international, nor can we ship to Puerto Rico, APO's, FPO's or PO boxes. The best suggestion is to ship to a valid United States address and then forwarded on to the final destination. If this does not work, please check back in the future as our policy may have changed.
