*MOST PACKAGES SHIP SAME DAY
Most orders placed before 4pm Eastern Time Monday – Friday will be processed the same business day. Excludes truck shipments and boats and motors.

UP FRONT SHIPPING
We charge all shipping up front, with few exceptions, so you aren’t penalized for any separate shipments due to back orders or drop shipped items.

We ship UPS, FedEx, USPS, and Truck. APO, FPO, or PO Box addresses must go USPS. Call Customer Service at 1-800-628-8225 for international pricing or visit www.defender.com/IntShipCalc.html.

SAVE ON SHIPPING!
You can save on shipping by having your order shipped to a commercial address. For example, your place of business, a marina, local store, or most commercial establishments. By sending your package to a commercial address, your delivery is more secure as it is signed for and not exposed to weather conditions. Whether you chose standard service or expedited delivery to a commercial address, you will save the residential fee of $2.55, even more on expedited and truck shipments.
