So, you have the burning desire to determine your shipping costs, dates and delivery methods. Well you’re in luck, we have just the thing! Go to your cart (Click on ‘My Cart’ on the top-right, then hit the ‘Go to my cart’ link), and at the bottom you’ll find a big ol’ magical ‘Get Shipping’ button. This fantabulous contraption of mystery has the unparalleled power to calculate all your shipping options and your cost based on exactly what you have in your cart. All you need to do is fill out the country and postal code and hit said astonishing button.
BUT, if you’re just looking to get a ballpark idea of our shipping costs and how they’re determined then keep on reading. But be aware that these factors change all the time and may not be entirely up to date, so you’re best off going through the shipping calculator built into your cart. The calculator will never tell a lie and hurt you.
We calculate your shipping cost on the final weight and size of the products selected. We’ve trained 6 Tibetan lawn-gnomes to call the major shipping company as soon as you finalize your order to give you the most accurate shipping costs. Solarbotics is not one of those companies that makes a profit on shipping (unlike many sellers on that major auction website). If you want to come on over on your sled-dog team to pick up your shipment, we won’t even charge you a packaging fee. As a matter of fact, we’ll most likely even give your lead dog a free biscuit.
But if you really want to have an idea of what shipping could be like, here is our “boilerplate” shipping rates. Remember, your actual rate will most likely be different.
