Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Does flat rate shipping apply to all items?
A: No, flat rate shipping applies only to qualifying items. Some items, such as oversized or heavy products, are exempt from this policy and may incur additional shipping charges. For example, large anvils, coal, and non-conforming packages are subject to actual shipping rates based on size, weight, and destination.
Q: What happens if my order includes exempt items?
A: If your order contains items that are exempt from flat rate shipping, at checkout you'll need to select the UPS Exempt Items shipping method.
Q: How will I know if an item is exempt from flat rate shipping?
A: Near the "Add To Cart" button you will see a message "UPS - Exempt Items Shipping".
Q: Can I still receive flat rate shipping for non-exempt items in my order?
A: No, flat rate shipping cannot be applied to non-exempt items. These products will have actual shipping charges calculated based on their weight, size, and destination. If you happen to select Flat Rate Shipping with an item in your cart that is exempt from Flat Rate Shipping and process your order, we will contact you with the additional charges.
Q: Are there any other shipping options for exempt items?
