We REFUSE to overcharge on shipping!

Online shipping over charges is one of the very reasons we looked at the online Rod Building market and thought,
"we can do that for less..."

Here's a prime example.  Buy a 100yd. spool of thread online.  You'll probably pay as much to SHIP that spool as you did
for the thread itself!  Now buy three spools.  Your shipping will often TRIPLE!  Not the most economical way to buy online,
is it?  Mind you, that's not always the vendor's fault.  It's the software's fault.  I've yet to find a software program that will
correctly calculate a "combined shipping rate" as low as we can do it manually.  Those three spools of thread above?  We
can ship those anywhere in the U.S. for about $1.25 and have it there in a couple of working days.  
Try THAT elsewhere!

For this reason, we don't use an online shipping calculator.  We don't mark up our shipping charges, charge packaging
fees, handling fees (*see note on International shipping), etc...  While other online suppliers may LOOK cheaper at first
glance, compare which online vendors can put the same product on your doorstep for less.   Try it and you'll see what I
mean!  Because of our "manual" shipping process, orders usually ship in 2-3 business days.

We have the ability to ship at the lowest rates possible with the world's most reliable transportation carriers.  The U.S.
Postal Service is generally the fastest, most economical way to ship the majority of the components that we sell.
Longer or heavier items can usually be shipped for less on a carrier such as UPS or DHL.

Our regular customers KNOW how  fast and fair we are on shipping (note the feedback comments on shipping by
CLICKING  HERE) and usually just allow us to bill their shipping charges after they have ordered.  If you don't know us yet
and would like a FIRM shipping quote prior to ordering, simply drop me a note asking for a combined shipping total on
the items that you are considering.  You can email me by CLICKING HERE.   I'll send you rates for the two lowest priced
shipping options.



NOTE ON INTERNATIONAL SHIPPING

We value our customers all over the world and have shipped to over 100 Countries.  Due to customs forms that need to
be filed and other special handling requirements, International shipments can not be processed with the same
automated processes used on our Domestic shipments.  International orders also have to be hand carried to our local
terminal for inspection by the counter personnel.   This is a VERY time consuming process which makes small orders
exceedingly expensive to handle.  International orders totaling LESS that $25 U.S. and shipped for the actual postage
value cause us to lose money.  For this reason, International orders totaling LESS than $25 U.S. are subject to a $5
handling fee.  This is the ONLY handling fee that AcidRod.com will ever charge.  
We're sorry, but we can't stay afloat by losing money! Thanks for your understanding.
