•  What are shipping rates and policies for the U.S.?

Shipping cost depends on service, number of items ordered, package weight, and the method of delivery that you choose. Shipping times depend on your destination. We ship using UPS. Shipping methods are specified for each product upon checkout.

In stock items ordered Monday - Friday (excluding weekends and holidays) by 1:00 pm ET will be shipped that day. Orders processed after 1:00 pm, on Friday after 1:00 pm, and on the weekend will ship on the next business day (Monday).

Explanation of Transit Time - 2 days:

A. Order placed on Monday before 1:00pm

• Leaves shipping department on Monday
• Arrives to your destination on Wednesday

B. Order placed on Monday after 1:00pm

• Leaves shipping department on Tuesday
• Arrives to your destination on Thursday

Please take on account it usually takes 1 business day to process your order and your package to leave our Distribution Center.

*Business days do not include weekends (Saturday and Sunday) or US holidays.  

• Reduce Shipping Cost

It's a good idea to check with your Vet to see if they would hold your pet for you until your casket arrives via UPS Ground. Having your Vet hold your pet can save you the add cost of UPS 2nd Day Air, 3 Day Select, or Next Day Air shipping. Your Vet would likely help you out in this situation. If your Veterinary Office is going to be holding your pet until your pet casket arrives, make sure to let them know to position your pet's legs the way you measured for the pet casket size you purchased.

• UPS Dimentional Weight Rules

Packages with a large size-to-weight ratio require special pricing and dimensional weight calculations.

Calculating Dimensional Weight for Domestic Shipments
Determine the Actual Weight: Use any standard scale and round up any fraction of a pound to the next full pound.

Determine Dimensional Weight:
For UPS Ground Shipments: If the cubic size of the package is 5,184 or larger, divide the cubic size by 194 to determine dimensional weight in pounds. If the cubic size is less than 5,184,use the actual weight of the package.
For UPS Air Shipments: Divide the cubic size by 194 to determine dimensional weight in pounds. Any fraction of a pound will be calculated at the next highest rate.

Determine Billable Weight: Compare each package's actual weight to its dimensional weight. The larger of the two weights is the billable weight and should be used to calculate the rate.

• Can I ship my order to a PO Box?

UPS does not deliver to PO Boxes. Street addresses are required to ensure proper delivery for on-line orders.

Occasionally UPS sends us a message that an Address is not in the UPS Data Base and that delivery may be delayed. If the address you provided to us causes such delays we cannot be held responsible for the delay. No refunds or adjustments if your package is late or doesn't get delivered for this reason.

• Do you charge Sales Tax?

We do not charge tax on orders shipped outside of New Jersey. There are no surprises - the listed price you see on the product screen is the same price you'll see in your shopping cart. For customers in the state of New Jersey, the exact tax will be displayed on the checkout page after entering a New Jersey address.

• What if I want to order more that one casket?

Due to shipping restrictions, you must place a separate order for each casket. Each casket is packed and shipped by a manufacturer separately. UPS processes each casket as a separate shipment.

• Can you give me an estimate on the shipping charges or shipping times?

A)To get an estimate for the shipping time, please email us the name of the item, your zip code, city, state and preferred method of shipment.

B)You can get an estimate of the shipping charge directly on our site.

• Go to the product page of the item you are interested in buying.
• Click "Add to Cart".
• On the next page click "Check out".
• On the next page, "Order Checkout", choose desired shipping method (they differ for different products), under "Bill to" type city name, state, and postal code.
• Click "Next".
• The following page will display the shipping charge for your item.

*If you don't see the shipping charge, that means your chosen shipping method is not available for this particular item - it ships only UPS Ground.
