The Who, What, Where and How We ship.....
Light and Small:
For small, light shipments we utilize USPS Priority Mail. This insures quick shipping at very reasonable pricing.
Light and oversized:
UPS Ground shipments utilized unless otherwise specified and paid for by the customer.
Everything Else:
This is most everything we ship. We use major trucking companies for all shipments. Most of these are directed by us and include our shipping classifications. This is an important fact to remember should you decide to use your own carrier. Since we are located in the Pacific Northwest, it became evident that we would need excellent shipping rates in order to be able to compete with similar companies located in the Midwest.
We have endevoured to renegotiate our rates each year as our volumes have increased. Because of this, we now have agreements where we receive the maximum discount and preferred rate classifications on everything we ship. This means that your rates are always the preferred and most favorable available in the industry.
Currently we are using Yellow Freight for most of our ground shipments. Our rates are based upon ground, non-expidited services. This means that you will get a great rate but it could take up to two weeks before you see your item. The savings on this type of service are huge. If you are really in a big rush contact us so that we can run an individual quote for you to compare expidited services.
Our base rate includes basic services which means it must be delivered to a business with a dock or means of removing the equipment. Other handling charges will apply if you required home delivery and need help to unload the attachments.
Hawaii and Alaska:
We work closely with Northland Services for shipments to Alaska and Aloha Cargo Transport for shipments to Hawaii. Shipping to Anchorage, Alaska or Honolulu, Hawaii are actually very reasonable. It is the additional cost to other islands or cities that can run the cost up to almost as much as the original shipment. Contact us for a customized quotation. Times vary as there are regular scheduled shipments.

Canada:
We have a lot of Canadian customers.... A lot!
We have contracts for shipping to Canada. The rates are good, but not great. We always advise that if you are close to the border, have us ship it to a town on the US side. It is cheaper and will save you the cost of a broker. If you have the item shipped in your name, you can import it using your personal exemption. You will pay no duties or brokerage. You will still pay GST and PST where applicable.
International Shipping:
We are proud to have achieved international recognition with our products. We have shipped to Canada, Mexico, Brazil, Australia, New Zealand, England, Spain, Germany, Russia, Iraq, Dubai and many other countries. We generally use DHL Freight forwarding. The prices are phenominal so don't be afraid. Here is an email link to them should you decide to receive a quotation.
