Shipping Rates


Shipping rates are calculated on the weight and size of the products ordered including the packaging that they are being shipped in, the distance the package has to travel, and the selected shipping method. International shipping rates include handling and insurance fees to guarantee quick and safe arrival of the order.


Quickly and easily find out how much it will cost to ship your order by adding items to your shopping cart and then by clicking into My Basket and finding the Calculate Shipping option. Simply select your country from the drop down list or enter your postal or zip code to get an accurate estimate of the shipping costs of your order. You do not need to input any payment information to view shipping cost options.
 

Local Pickup

If you live in mid-Michigan and would like to pick up your order at our Warehouse location in Saginaw, just select the FREE Local Pickup shipping option when checking out. Our warehouse hours are 9am-4pm, Mon-Fri (excluding major holidays). Local orders MUST be paid for before we can pick and package your order. 
 

Shipping Carriers

We ship with the United States Postal Service and FedEx. When you select Standard Shipping, we will ship your order with the least expensive carrier and method. You may also select Expedited shipping, both within the United States and Internationally.  (Overnight, 2nd Day, 3rd Day).
 



Processing Time

Most orders ship within 1-2 business days from our warehouse in Saginaw, Michigan, depending on the volume of orders currently being processed.  Domestic orders will generally arrive 1-7 business days after being shipped depending on shipping method selected. 

In-House Rush is available as you check out for an additional charge of $1.95 plus cost of shipment. Rush orders are guaranteed to leave our warehouse by the next business day.  The Rush This Order option does not guarantee a faster delivery method.  US Domestic orders that select expedited shipping (Overnight, 2nd Day, 3rd Day) as well as International orders that select UPS Worldwide Expedited or Express are automatically upgraded to Free in-house Rush.

Rushed orders must be placed before 2pm Eastern Standard Time (Monday-Friday) to qualify for processing within the next business day.  Orders placed after 2pm will ship within one business days.  Same day processing may be available if the order is placed by 10am EST (Monday - Friday).  However, it is not guaranteed.  We suggest calling our Customer Support Department for more information.  Liability of this guarantee is limited to the amount of Shipping and Handling for your order.  Orders placed on or near a holiday may be delayed one or more business days.

Expedited Delivery Options

(2nd Day & Overnight) are available to most locations.  All Expedited options are delivered Monday through Friday (excluding holidays and weekends).  Overnight orders placed by 10am EST will be processed that same day. Expedited orders placed after 10am EST will be processed by the next business day (Monday - Friday excluding holidays).  Liability of this guarantee is limited to the amount of Shipping and Handling for your order.  

Our warehouse ships orders Monday thru Friday. The day the order is submitted does not count as a delivery or processing day. We highly suggest calling our Customer Support department directly to ensure your merchandise will arrive when needed.

We frequently get questions about why we offer an in-house rush service-- why everyone's order cannot be shipped automatically the next business day. That is our goal, but...

When you place your order, there may be hundreds of orders in the picking que ahead of yours. We think it's only fair that we process orders in the order they are received to us, with very few exceptions. The number of orders at any given time greatly fluctuates. Sometimes we get a few days behind, it happens, even with our warehouse shipping crew working overtime. That's where the Rush option comes in. We think it's only fair that those who wish to be bumped to the front of the line should have to pay for it. When it comes right down to it, by offering a in-house Rush option, we are able to reduce shipping costs across the board with free/reduced shipping promotions.

With the in-house Rush option, everyone wins. Those who really need their order quickly pay an extra $1.95 to jump to the head of the line. Those who would rather save on shipping costs may do so as well by not selecting the Rush option. ACOT wins as well by not having to bring in temporary employees during our peak times - we have found that the large number of mis-picked orders greatly increases when we bring in temps. By offering the Rush option, it helps us keep our costs down which in turn allows us to pass on savings to our customers in the form of promo codes, sales and great deals.
