5. Further into the shopping cart, in the 'Special Instructions" section please indicate which of the shipping method you would like to choose  ......   as shown below:  

Shipping Method A:      UPS Worldwide Express

This shipping method is the fastest possible to United Kingdom. Your order will typically arrive in 1 to 4 working days (Monday thru Friday) - depending upon U.K. Custom's workload.

This option allows us full tracking and parcel monitoring capabilities so we can 'see' where your products are along the shipping path.

Just as importantly, this method has full insurance. Should your order be lost or destroyed, we will issue a full refund to you with 7 business days.

Finally, United Parcel Service has an excellent relationship with the Customs Authorities in your country. While this does not guarantee rapid movement through Customs, it certainly improves your chances for speedier service and hassle-free transit.

Your cost to ship to United Kingdom is $68.75 USD   [this is for parcels up to 2 lbs. (.9 kilos)]

Please Note: If your order weighs more than this, we'll send you an e-mail (and/or call you) letting you know the exact shipping options and costs.

Shipping Method B:     and    USPS Global Express

This shipping method is the 2nd fastest possible to United Kingdom. Your order will typically arrive in 4 to 10 days working days (Monday thru Friday) - depending upon U.K.  Custom's workload.

Global Express is a partnership between the United States Postal Service and Royal Mail. It allows us partial tracking and parcel monitoring capabilities so we can better gauge the status of where your products are along the shipping path.

Should your order be lost or destroyed, we can file a claim for loss on your behalf. Unfortunately, there is no guaranteed re-imbursement in this case. All we can do is file a claim and hope the Postal Services refund us. Also, the time of settlement - and thus, re-payment/refund to you - is 60 to 90 days.

Your cost to ship to United Kingdom is $46.75 USD   [this is for parcels up to 2 lbs. (.9 kilos)]

Please Note: If your order weighs more than this, we'll send you an e-mail (and/or call you) letting you know the exact shipping options and costs.

Method C: USPS Global Priority

This is the most cost effective shipping method to United Kingdom. It is also the slowest - your order will typically arrive in 9 to 28 days working days (Monday thru Friday)  - depending upon U.K. Custom's workload.

Global Priority is again a partnership between the United States Postal Service and Royal Mail. It allows us NO tracking and parcel monitoring capabilities, so unfortunately we can not 'see' the status of  your products are along the shipping path.

Should your order be lost or destroyed, there is NO RECOURSE and NO REFUNDS offered with this method. If it is lost, you lose both the cost of the order as well as shipping.

Your cost to ship to United Kingdom is $21.80 USD   [this is for parcels up to 2 lbs. (.9 kilos)]

Please Note: If your order weighs more than this, we'll send you an e-mail (and/or call you) letting you know the exact shipping options and costs.
