Please be assured that your items will ship out within three day of purchase as long as they are “in stock”. If there will be a delay due to unforeseen problems, you will receive a telephone call or e-mail to explain the delay. We ship via the carrier of your choice or we will determine the most efficient shipping carrier for your order. The carriers that we may use will be U.S.Postal Service (USPS), United Parcel Service (UPS) or even a personal delivery in special circumstances. We cannot ship to P O Boxes via UPS.
SHIPPING AND HANDLING COSTS
We work hard to keep the shipping costs down for our customers. Due to the varied weight of maple syrup and maple products, we do not use a shipping chart. We are UPS agents, and the shipping costs charged to our customers are exact shipping charged to our business plus a small fee to cover our costs of shipping materials such as boxes, bubble wrap, fill, tape, etc. There is no sales tax on maple syrup or products. There will be State Sales Tax (currently 5.5%) on books, articles of clothing, and sugaring supplies.
