A note about
shipping costs:
There
are many ways to ship a package - especially a one-pound package in
which
your Pinewood Derby car would be. UPS and Parcel Post(USPS)
are a couple of shipping sources. Check out their websites for
return costs to your residence.
Via
Parcel Post (Post Office-USPS) a one-pound package might cost $6 up to
$10 and take from 2 to 6 days to receive, depending on how far it is
being sent. Priority (or Express shipping) can cost $10 up to
$35, again depending on distance and take 2 days (or overnight).
UPS
(United Parcel Service) has many different shipping selections
depending on amount of days to receive. "Ground"
shipping may
take 1-6 days and cost $9 to $15. While "2 Day" might be about
$17 to $25 and "3 day" - $17 to $20. (They can
only
ship to a street address - not a P.O. Box.) "Next Day Air" would
be
very expensive - possibly $70 or more.
Your car can
only be returned to you by a carrier that can do it for the amount of
money you have supplied with the car. This amount with the car
also determines how soon you can receive your returned Pinewood Derby
car. $20 should cover shipping & handling in the
Midwest (1 or 2 day delivery) and $30 or $35 on East and West Coast and
Southern USA (3-5 days delivery) for "Ground"/Parcel Post shipping via
UPS or USPS.
