Shipping Costs
Your shipping cost will be calculated during the checkout process and depends on your zip code, specific items being ordered and their quantities.
Please see below for bulk palatalized orders being shipped with a common carrier.
Although cardboard boxes don’t weigh very much and we are accustomed to paying shipping charges based on weight, the shipping industry (including both FedEx and UPS) determines their rates based on something called dimensional weight. When the dimensional weight of a shipment exceeds the actual weight, shipping charges are based on the shipment’s dimensional weight.
Dimensional
Weight
Rating provisions which require the calculation of a dimensional weight for rating purposes will be computed at the actual cube multiplied by the dimensional weight factor. Dimensional weight is determined by multiplying a packages length x height x width (all in inches) and dividing the total by 166 (standard density in cubic inches per pound). If the result exceeds the actual weight, charges are assessed based on the dimensional weight. This rating scenario applies in practically all shipments of cardboard boxes. You can learn more at Fedex.com It really pays to stock up as larger orders result in a much lower shipping cost per item.
Now for the
Good news
As a master FedEx shipper originating thousands of shipments per month, The Spirited Shipper receives discounted shipping rates from FedEx. When ordering boxes, these reduced rates are passed on to you; a nicety and cost savings which is rare and simply impossible to match with the smaller wine box shipping companies.
As a side note – Free shipping is a misleading marketing tool as shipping must be paid for by someone and the cost will be built into the product prices. Any comparisons with other wine box companies should be made with the total delivered cost not to mention that our boxes are the best in the industry for a variety of reasons. The only exception that I can find is with Amazon. Amazon provides a variety of different ways to eliminate shipping costs. However, the wine shippers on Amazon cost an arm and a leg and they have nothing like Spirited Shippers.
Bulk Palletized Orders
The most economical way to ship bulk orders is on pallets. The minimum common carrier freight charge varies from $80.00 to $150 (East to West Coast), but final freight cost will be calculated at time of shipment based on ship to location (zip code) and total weight of the pallet. Your invoice, which is generated after shipment, will include the actual freight charges.
