4Nscale charges a flat rate of $6.95 for ground shipments within the U.S. which includes insurance. Our primary shipping method is United Parcel Service (UPS). For customers that request shipment by U.S. Priority Mail, shipping charges may be higher than our flat rate of $6.95 since a new pricing structure was implemented by the Postal Service effective June 30, 2002. We also ship Overnight, 2nd Day, 3rd Day and US Express Mail. Charges for these services are generally at “Actual Cost”. If shipping only magazines or some other small, flat items such as decals, we may ship via First Class mail, and at a reduced shipping charge. This is, however, at our own discretion.
