If you need an estimate of shipping charges, call and we can give you one. There is also information here about estimating shipping costs. Note that if you submit an email order and don't specify a shipping method, we will use UPS ground . Also please note that postal rates have increased a lot . In many cases UPS ground is less expensive than postal shipping.
Uninsured shipments are the customer's risk .
I am not a great fan of postal shipping. For one thing, we have yet to ever receive payment from the post office for an insured package which was lost. To cite one example, we submitted a claim back in 1999 for a small package sent to Canada which never reached the customer. The letter concluded with the statement that we would be contacted after this process was over. Well, here it is 2001 and no further news and no reimbursment.
