We ship using USPS,UPS, and Fed Ex depending on the most cost effective way. This saves you money.
We will ship to Hawaii, Alaska, Puerto Rico and Canada. Be advised that shipping costs will be expensive to these locations. Be advised that after a shipment leaves the U.S. and is in the hands of the International shipper ARS will not be held responsible for any losses, damages, or refunds. It is up the end user to settle all disputes and claims with the foreign shipping agent. No other International shipping is available. Before you order you must call ARS and find out the total cost including shipping to Puerto Rico, and Canada,as it is different than the web calculator. You will be billed the rest of the shipping cost through Paypal, and it must be paid before your order is shipped.
