All shipments are sent out via UPS, FedEx or USPS Ground. Can not be shipped to PO boxes or APO/FPO addresses. Orders ship out the business day following the receipt of an order. All orders are first shrink wrapped to insure there is no movement inside the box. They are then wrapped completely around in bubble wrap. Next, we custom bend 250-pound crush rated cardboard to the specific size of what will be shipped. Lastly the box is taped closed with nylon reinforced tape to make sure it doesn't rip open during transit.
