WholesaleBolts.com charges FedEx , and UPS Ground Simple rate prices.  Our system calculates the weight of your order and uses your zip code to get a shipping cost directly from the shipping company. FedEx charges in 1lb increments with a minimum of 1lb. Our Flat Rate Ground shipping rates depend on the box size used, which is done on our website using tiers based on weight. Most Flat Rate Ground orders will be shipped with UPS Ground. Some may go with FedEx if there are long items or full cartons. We will ship the most efficient way. The transit time for this option is estimated at 2-4 business days depending on your location. The transit time will match what is estimated by UPS or FedEx. We do not charge more than $50 for shipping for the Flat Rate Ground shipping option.
       Ground Flat Rate Shipping is available for the Continental US.

      We do ship to Alaska, Hawaii, and some U.S. territories using USPS Flat Rate Priority Mail boxes. Your address must be deliverable with the US Postal Service. Please contact us and we can arrange the shipment.

      We offer free shipping for orders over $1000, only to the continental U.S.

      Large orders (usually over 200 lbs.) may be shipped LTL when cost of ground shipping will exceed cost of LTL truck shipping methods. LTL truck shipments may be subject to a $75 residential charge. Whenever possible, LTL shipments should be sent to a commercial address, or picked up at the local shipping terminal. Please contact us if you feel your order may qualify for LTL shipping, and your delivery address is residential, or has limited accessibility. We will assist in making all the necessary arrangements.
     
      Most items will ship by the next business day after the ordering date.  Some items will ship within 2-3 business days depending on current stock availability.  All shipping is done Mon.-Fri., excluding major holidays. UPS and FedEx transit times usually do not include Saturday, Sunday, and do not include major holidays as transit days. Transit times do not include the day the package was shipped as a transit day. All ground transit times are usually reliable, but are estimated and not guaranteed. If you need guaranteed transit times Overnight or 2 Day Express shipping options are recommended. Expedited shipping orders will be shipped ASAP.
    
     Many full cartons ordered may be drop shipped from one of our supplier warehouse locations across the country. We do this to expedite the shipment of your order. We may be short of stock of an item, or may be able to have the item shipped from a supplier location that is closer to you, and will have a quicker transit time. In any case we do this in the interest of the benefit of our customers. Drop shipments will be shipped with FedEx or UPS unless the drop shipment is heavy enough to qualify for LTL Freight. The only time this will result in a greater shipping charge than was selected on your order is if we need to ship LTL to a residential address. Some drop shipped orders may arrive separately and with a combination of the different shipping services. We always try to provide tracking numbers when they are available.

      Our shipping policies and options may sound complicated, but we do our best to use our knowledge and experience in shipping logistics to save our customers as much time and money as possible.
