An important note about shipping and glass coverage: In order to keep shipping fees to a minimum, we use US Mail Flat rate boxes with most orders. They are normally the cheapest way to ship. However, occasionally, some glass does break, since there is minimal padding with these boxes. This broken glass is still usable (unless it is crushed). If you wish to keep shipping fees to a minimum and don’t mind occasional breakage, this is a great shipping method. This shipping method we refer to as “Economy” in your shopping cart. The shopping cart will use this as the default shipping method. All "Economy" packages are covered if they are lost. However, in order to keep glass prices as low as possible, we will no longer be covering glass that is broken in these flat rate boxes, unless it is crushed beyond use. In order to cover your glass for breakage, we would need to ship in larger boxes with much more padding. This will cost you more to ship. If you wish us to ship your glass in larger boxes, and cover you for possible breakage, please choose that option when you check out in the shopping cart. This option to cover breakage is called “Priority” in the shopping cart. Economy and Priority take equal lengths of shipping time to reach you. |
| One more note: We were shipping up to 3 lbs of glass in PVC tubes and then putting them in Flat Rate envelopes for $6. This isn't working out. Glass is getting broken. So we will only do this with 1 lb of glass or less. All others will have to go in a box which will raise shipping fees. Sorry about that. |

Here is a general calculation for "Economy" shipping our glass and other supplies. We will do our best to choose the cheapest rate for you. Shipping rates may vary, especially since we've added on so many new items that change our shipping techniques. If you have any questions, be sure to contact us. Domestic Shipping Fees & Quantity Discounts: If you purchase MORE than 40 lbs of glass, shipping will be $30, regardless of the quantity of glass over 40 pounds. US Shipments only.
