Tiered Flat Rate Shipping Coast-Coast
Shipping across the street or across the nation, the price is the same!
The shipping price schedule is below, but we wanted to inform you about a particular shipping surcharge with Long to Very Long bars.
UPS and other carriers are only interested in the dimensions (and weight) of a box. And, when it comes to shipping long boxes that reach 48", they demand a surcharge of $15, which we have to pass on to you, our client. But, if the box reaches 72" we have to collect $25 per box to cover their 2X over length surcharge. Wish we didn't have to, but if we didn't, we would need to raise our prices on those bars, and we don't think that makes sense. Check Below For More Concise Info.

Here's The Bigger Picture About Over Length Packaging
Stretcher bars that are 46" up to 70" fall into the $15 surcharge range. Why? To protect the mitered corners of the bars, we pad the ends of the box and that, along with the flaps at the end of the box cause the box's dimension to fall into the 47" up to 70" surcharge level. The same is true with the $25 surcharge: bars from 70" to 78" fall into the 72" to 78" range once the padding and cardboard is accounted for. As further explanation, a box might be 47 1/4 inches long, but due to all carrier's dimension rules, we must round up to the next whole number. Ugh, is all I have to say about that! But, don't worry, if the box actually ends up being 47" or slightly less, you won't be charged the surcharge.
Once a package is turned over to a carrier, the responsibility for the package lies in their hands. If there is a claim, we will do our best to help settle the issue. Depending on the cause of the problem it may be resolved quickly or it could be a matter of time. You must retain all packing materials and you should take photos of questionable packages if they seem to have been damaged. It is required that you accept a package even if it is damaged. Sometimes there is less damage than thought and, sometimes we can make adjustments to the product pricing that would be in your favor. Regardless of the situation, we know there is always a solution. Please, communicate your concerns as soon as possible.
