Shipping:
The cost of shipping is based on your location and what options are available.
Each bulk set is packaged to fit in the 80cm/5kg UPS box to maximize savings on shipping. If you order additional items along with a bulk set, you may be presented with shipping via cargo ship and the 100cm/10kg UPS box options. If you select UPS, we may ship in multiple boxes to save on shipping and will refund you any excess shipping fees.
It will likely be a simpler process if you purchase each express box separately.
Contact us if shipping is not available to your location.
