Shipping

All shipping is FOB Canandaigua NY. We can ship to the lower 48 states of the USA. We do NOT ship to international destinations without first receiving full payment via wire transfer. If you need something shipped to an international destination, Contact Us.

When you place an order, we will estimate shipping and delivery dates for you based on the availability of your items and the shipping options you choose. Depending on the shipping provider you choose, shipping date estimates may appear on the shipping quotes page.

Please also note that the shipping rates for many items we sell are weight-based. The weight of any such item can be found on its detail page. To reflect the policies of the shipping companies we use, all weights will be rounded up to the next full pound.
