WHAT IS AMERIDEN’S SHIPPING POLICY?
As part of our Value Added-Service we at Ameriden® try very hard to process and ship your order the same day we receive it. Occasionally, during monthly specials or heavy demand, your order may take longer than usual to ship. We thank you for your patience if there is occasional slowness due to extremely high traffic or such things as Acts of God, i.e. inclement weather.
If you choose an expedited shipping method, please keep in mind it will only speed up the in-transit time not the order processing time.
HOW DO YOU SHIP?
Ameriden's primary shipping option within the United States of America (USA) is Standard shipping via the United States Postal Service (USPS) Flat Rate, Priority mail or Express mail (2 - Day) service. Your order will be shipped to either a post office box or physical street address.
Ameriden's secondary shipping option within the United States of America (USA) is (United Parcel Service) UPS Ground service to your physical street address. You may select other methods such as UPS 2 Day, UPS 3 Day, UPS Next Day Air Saver, or UPS Next Day upon check out.
Hawaii, Alaska & Puerto Rico will ship by Ameriden's standard shipping method through the United States Postal Service (USPS) via Priority Mail or Express Mail (2 - Day) service.
