How are shipping costs calculated ?
Currently, the majority of our orders are shipped UPS Ground. There is a UPS Ground shipping & handling calculator integrated within the checkout page. We do not require that you provide your credit card number in order to obtain the shipping & handling costs. It is our goal to ensure a risk free and simple process for our customers. Once you have selected your items, simply click to the checkout page, enter your valid shipping address and the UPS calculator will provide you with the shipping & handling costs. UPS calculates shipping & handling costs by 3 elements:

  1. Location: Ship-from to ship-to addresses
  2. Weight: The full weight of the product & packaging. UPS rounds up to the nearest pound. If a package weighs 12 oz, it will be calculated as 1 pound. If a package is 1 pound and 9 oz, UPS will calculate the package as 2 pounds.
  3. Package Size: Oversized or irregularly shaped packages ship at slightly higher rates. UPS considers oversized packages when the combined length and girth exceeds 84 inches (10"x10"x10")

We recycle!  The majority of our shipments are packaged in recycled or used boxes and stuffing material.

When can I expect to receive my order?
We ship all in stock products within 2 business after we receive confirmation of your purchase during the business week. Saturday and Sunday orders are picked and packaged same day and ship out on the next business day, excluding holidays.

Most orders are shipped via UPS Ground.

Shipment time and costs depends on where the shipment is being delivered and the weight of the package. Some orders may ship from different locations, arrive in separate packages and transit times may vary. We reserve the right to use a different carrier other than UPS if necessary.

Orders not in stock will vary in shipping time but usually will not exceed 10 business days. You will be notified via email if packages will be delayed past average shipping interval.

We calculate shipping days as business days only and do not include weekends or the UPS holidays listed below:
  • New Years Day
  • Memorial Day
  • 4th of July
  • Thanksgiving
  • Christmas Day
To ensure shipment accuracy
  • Use a physical address that is convenient for you or for your intended recipient.
  • Ensure you are using a valid address that can accept shipments. UPS does not deliver to P.O. Boxes

We recycle!  The majority of our shipments are packaged in recycled or used boxes and stuffing material.

Do you ship to international locations?
Not at this time. We ship within the United States/North American Continent. We cannot ship to P.O. Boxes due to UPS rules and regulations. If you are an international consumer and you would like to work out shipping arrangements, please email us at support@birdsbugsbeyond.com and we will determine at that time if we can ship to you.
