Shipping and Handling

Exact Shipping and Handling charges are calculated by our web site based on the weight and volume of the products and the shipping destination. Orders placed before 3:00 PM Eastern Time on a business day can typically be shipped the same day. Please call if you would like to verify stock and shipping schedule. If an order received before 3:00 PM is unable to ship the same day, we will contact you as soon as possible.

Shipping Methods

• Within the United States
  • US Postal Service Priority Mail: This option is often the most economical for small, lightweight orders. This option should be chosen for orders shipped to Post Office boxes, since UPS cannot deliver to PO boxes. Priority Mail typically has a time in transit of 2-3 business days to any USA destination, but the Postal Service does not guarantee a delivery date for Priority Mail, so in some cases it may be longer.
  • US Postal Service Express Mail: This service provides either Next Day or Second Day delivery to US addresses, including Post Office Boxes. The time in transit (1 or 2 days) depends on the exact delivery location. To determine time for your destination, you may use the Express Mail Service Commitment tool on www.usps.com and enter an origin zip code of 48631 (click here).
  • UPS Ground: Usually the most cost effective shipping method for orders over a few pounds. The map below shows the number of business days an order will be in transit when shipped by UPS Ground:
    
  • UPS 3 Day Select: This service provides delivery by the end of the 3rd business day after the date of shipment. For many addresses, UPS Ground provides an equivalent service at a less expensive rate (see map above).
  • UPS 2nd Day Air: This service provides delivery by the end of the 2nd business day after the date of shipment. For some addresses, UPS Ground provides an equivalent service at a less expensive rate (see map above).
  • UPS Next Day Air Saver: This service provides delivery by the end of the first business day after the date of shipment.
  • UPS Next Day Air: This service provides delivery on the first business day after the date of shipment. For many locations, delivery will be by 10:30 AM, but some locations will be by 12:00 noon or the end of the day.

    To calculate the delivery time for your location, please use the UPS Time/Cost Calculator. NOTE: Please enter Bay City, MI 48706 for "Ship From". You do not need to enter a package weight if you click the "Calculate Time Only" button.

NOTE: For all UPS shipping options, Saturday, Sunday, and any holidays are not counted as days in transit. For example, a Next Day Air package shipped on Friday will be delivered on Monday. If you need UPS Saturday Delivery options, please call.

• International Shipping Methods
  • NOTE: Unless otherwise specified or agreed upon, international shipments do not include insurance and Winford Engineering will not be responsible for any loss or damage that may occur. You are responsible for any tariffs or brokerage fees that may be charged by your country and/or the carrier.
  • UPS Standard: Currently available for Canadian destinations only. Time in transit varies, but is typically 1-1.5 weeks, depending on how quickly the package clears customs. Please note that UPS will charge you a customs brokerage fee, which varies depending on the value and quantity of items, but is typically at least $25.
  • US Postal Service Priority Mail International: This service usually takes 1.5-2 weeks for delivery, but it may be longer if there are delays in customs. Some tracking information is usually available, depending on the destination.
  • US Postal Service Express Mail International: This service usually takes about 1 week for delivery, depending on destination, but it may be longer if there are delays in customs. Some tracking information is usually available, depending on the destination.
  • Other: Other shipping options may be available. Please Contact us if another shipping method is desired. UPS and FedEx provide services to many international destinations, but they are quite expensive.
• Freight terms: We can prepay and add the shipping and handling to your order, or, for UPS shipping methods, we can bill the charges to your UPS account. Depending on the amount and the destination country of your order, there may be a small handling fee. This is calculated and explained during the online checkout process.
