We ship via USPS (United States Postal Service). Hawaii and Alaska need to use Priority Mail only. International customers have only one option, International Priority Mail. This is due to this being the only option from the USA that has insurance on the parcel. If you need your items urgently, there is an overnight/next day option for the 48 states. While we try to make shipping as cost effective as possible, prices have gone up. If you are charged too much, we will do a refund.
