For filters, parts, and accessories, S&H is starting at $14.95 per shipment, which can contain about 6 to 7 filters. After that, shipping is calculated by weight. Total cost will be shown on the shopping cart during check out. A complete water system S&H would cost about $35 per system. Shipping service is either USPS postal or UPS Ground depending on weight and dimension of products ordered. Please provide both physical address and po box address if applicable. This rate is for US 48 continental states only.
APO/HI/AK/PR/GU/PO box customers: Postal service is utilized, and depend on the filters ordered, sometimes we use flat rate boxes or our own boxes. Flat rate boxes are cheaper and the overpayment will be refunded automatically without request. International buyers: Either UPS or Postal service is utilized. The shipping calculator on the website is 98% accurate. However, we reserve the right to contact you if there is variance on the actual shipping cost.
Expedited orders are NOT available due to the unpredictability of carrier service since the start of the pandemic.
