Shipping Estimates Versus Actual Shipping Costs
The shipping cost shown when you place your teak molding order is an estimate produced by either UPS or the U.S. Postal Service. Sometimes that estimate turns out to be too high, and other times it's too low. Here's what we do in either case:
- If The Estimated Cost Is Too High -- When the actual shipping & handling cost is less than the estimated cost you're charged while placing your order, we promptly refund the overpayment back to your credit card account or your PayPal account. This normally takes 1 or 2 business days to be applied.
- If The Estimated Cost Is Too Low -- We absorb the additional cost.
Package Length Really Matters
Shipping costs for teak molding sent via UPS (or FedEx) are appreciably higher when the package length is 60" (5') or greater. This is true even when the package contains small pieces such as quarter-round molding and weighs only a few pounds.
We Minimize Handling Charges
Our handling charges range from a few dollars for small shipments sent in standard boxes, to several dollars for custom-built packages required for large teak molding shipments, or for packages that require extra protection against damage. In all cases, we try to hold our shipping costs to a minimum while ensuring that the teak you order order shows up in excellent condition.
