MOST PACKAGES SHIP SAME DAY
Most orders placed before 4:30pm Eastern Time Monday – Friday will be processed the same business day (excluding custom splicing and items that ship directly from the Manufacturer). US Postal Service orders must be placed by 2:30pm Eastern Time to be processed the same business day. Same day processing excludes international, truck freight, boats and motors and drop shipments.

UP FRONT SHIPPING
With few exceptions, we charge all shipping up front, so you don’t pay extra for any separate shipments due to back orders or drop shipped items.

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

SAVE ON SHIPPING!
You can save on shipping by having your order shipped to a commercial address. For example, you can ship to 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 $2.70, even more on expedited and truck shipments.
