Estimating Shipping Costs

A frequent question is "How much will shipping cost?" The answer depends on:

  • Where it's being sent from 
  • Where it's being sent to
  • Package weight
  • Package dimensions
  • Priority

Since most of this information will change from order to order, let's break it down!

  • Where it's being sent from: This is the easy one! It will always be sent from ZIP code 60048.
  • Where it's being sent to: This will be the ZIP code of the customer.
  • Package weight: This is weight of all products sold plus the weight of packaging.
  • Package dimensions:
