GROUND SHIPPING INFORMATION VIA UNITED PARCEL SERVICE
This section will give you the tools that you need to determine UPS ground shipping rates and times in transit.
Step 1 - Determine your U.P.S. Shipping "Zone" by using the following link. U.P.S. Zip Code Zone Chart.
This will tell you which UPS shipping Zone you are in.
Step 2 - Keeping in mind that the fan pulls weigh approximately 1 pound per dozen, and lamp finials weigh about 6 pieces to the pound you can estimate the shipping charges for your order. Please be aware of the fact that we add $2.25 shipping and handling for each box - no matter what it weighs. Also, if UPS thinks that you live in an out of the way area, there is something that they call a "residential surcharge" which is $2.00 per box. As you can see, we have only taken this chart to 5 lbs, because most of the rescue orders have not been heavier that this. If your order will weigh more than the 5 lbs, you can log on to www.UPS.com for detailed information, or call us. You will notice on the chart that once you get into the second pound, the rates only go up slightly.

| 1 lb | $5.12 | $ 5.21 | $5.32 | $5.48 | $5.69 | $5.75 | $5.86 |
| 2 lb | 5.17 | 5.39 | 5.77 | 5.84 | 6.17 | 6.28 | 6.57 |
| 3 lb | 5.20 | 5.57 | 5.99 | 6.14 | 6.48 | 6.65 | 7.12 |
| 4 lb | 5.38 | 5.72 | 6.24 | 6.43 | 6.78 | 6.95 | 7.48 |
| 5 lb | 5.56 | 5.79 | 6.47 | 6.67 | 7.02 | 7.25 | 7.85 |
Step 3 - To find out how long the package will take to get to you, please refer to the
UPS Time in Transit Map below.
 |
As you can see, PA is green. Using the color legend on the right side of the map, PA is 3 working days in transit from Florida. This does not include the day that the package is shipped. For example, if we ship on Monday, a package to Pennsylvania would arrive on Thursday. If we ship on Friday, the package would arrive the following Wednesday.
|
| To work out the example: Using Zip Code 19038 in PA and a shipment weighing 2 lbs - Zip Code 19038 is in UPS shipping Zone 5. 2 lbs = $5.84 + 2.25 (our S/H charge) = $8.09 shipping charge and would arrive 3 working days after we shipped it. |
