Shopping Cart Information
Items placed in your shopping cart will remain there for 1 week. However, because inventory is not "reserved" during that time, it is possible that items placed in the cart may not be available when you come back to check out. This doesn't happen often, but might occur on items that have high demand. If this occurs, please feel free to contact us and we'll provide information about the availability of the desired product.
PLEASE NOTE: If you clear your COOKIES from your browser, either manually or through software settings (anti-virus programs, anti-spyware programs, privacy programs, etc.), your cart information WILL BE LOST. The shopping cart is saved through a small file on your computer called a COOKIE. Most shopping cart programs use these small files to help you keep track of things like items in a shopping cart. You do not have to keep the cookie file on your computer, but if you delete this file, your shopping cart items will be lost. You must have cookies enabled to shop with us, but you can disable cookies afterward, if desired.
If you have any questions about cookie files or the use of our shopping cart, please contact us and we'll be happy to assist you.

Packing Materials

General Shipping Information
Your order usually ships within 1 to 3 business days after you place your order. We don’t ship on weekends or holidays. Orders placed on weekends or holidays are processed within 1 to 3 business days after the order is placed.
If you order expedited shipping (for instance, FedEx 2nd Day Air), please note that your order will be processed within 1 to 2 business days and shipped via the selected method. This means that a "2nd Day" shipment may take up to 4 business days to arrive. If you have a special circumstance, please note that in the comments in your order and email customer service with details.
What do you charge for shipping?
To determine shipping costs before completing your purchase, add items to your cart. When you're ready, view your cart. In the first page of the shopping cart, you will see the items you've added to your cart. Below that is a shipping calculator. Enter the zip code to which the package is being shipped and click Update Totals. The estimated best rate shipping cost will be displayed. This will give you a good idea of the total cost of shipping before check out.
Shipping a large order may cost only slightly more than shipping a single item. That's because USPS charges a base rate for all packages and an incremental rate above that base. So, it's far more economical to purchase numerous items. If you're checking shipping rates, please don't base your decision on a single item - add all your items to your cart and then check the shipping cost.
Shipping is not a profit center for us, we just cover our costs. A lot of people ask for free shipping, but retailers that offer free shipping usually just increase the price of all items to cover the cost. Our method is a bit more straightforward. We price our products appropriately, and shipping is based on how much the product weighs along with where it has to go. We work with our shipping partners to keep costs down, and we keep hounding them for lower prices.
We do ship via USPS to any location with a US Postal code, including Puerto Rico, US Virgin Islands, Guam, Marshall Islands (etc.), APO and FPO addresses. See the information below regarding shipping outside the US. USPS Priority Mail generally takes 7-10 business days to arrive.
Local Pickup (Maui only) If you live on island or arevisiting and would like to pick up your order, please select “Will Pickup” during check out.
