06/16 UPDATE: We've updated the choice for shipping insurance in your cart. There is now a drop down menu for your choice. See Shipping Insurance page for more info. USPS Ground Advantage is still the worst. Multiple broken rods and "lost" packages. Long packages (ove 30 inches) taking 6+ weeks in some cases and normal packages taking several days longer than normal. Our local postmaster has told us it's only going to get worse before it gets better which is not a good sign! If you choose USPS and we can send it FedEx for what was paid we are switching your shipping to FedEx. We always recommend FedEx. We get no more info than you within the USPS tracking system. Contact your local USPS Postmaster and they can place an internal trace that may give you more info and/or get the package moving. Unless you request additional insurance, packages are only insured for $100. If your package is delayed there is a "Missing Mail" on their website. To be 100% clear, once a package leaves our dock it is 100% control of the shipper.
We keep a few different models on hand however most will have to be special ordered. Contact us before placing your order if you'd like to know what we have on hand. They may take several weeks before we have the items to ship.
Special orders are non-refundable as they are specific to the customer.
