SPECIAL INSTRUCTIONS AND SHIPPING INFORMATION

Email:      Grampa@GrampaNet.net
Note: Grampa will be tweaking the axles and wheels only,
unless you specify any other "Special Instructions".


Here are some "Special Instructions"  you might include (with cautions):


"Make as Fast as Possible under the rules."   (Grampa tweaks by the rules only)  

"Please add weights I am sending."    (will add where possible for best speed)

"Please add weights - I am sending extra cash for Grampa to buy them."  

"Grampa may alter body if needed for speed."       (may need to tweak the body)

"Please do not alter Style or Appearance."         (wherever possible)

"Ship via NEXT DAY AIR Freight"   (include extra $$ for shipping costs!!)

"Need by ..This Date..   please"      (Allow sufficient time needed to tweak and  ship)

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.
