Shipping

Do you ship to military bases?

Yes. Any orders shipping to an APO/FPO are shipped via USPS Priority Mail, having a transit time of 2-3 days, to a central hub in NY. From there it is given to the appropriate military carrier, and depending on the location it can take two weeks for a package to be delivered (being outside of USPS' hands at that point). Plus, these orders are untraceable because there are no UPS or FedEx tracking numbers.

The correct address format for an APO/FPO is to enter the base name in the street field, "APO" or "FPO" in the city field, and then select among AA, AE, or AP in the state field. Leave the country as USA and then enter the correct postal code in the zip code field.

Do you ship to post office boxes?

No. UPS requires a street address.

Do you ship to personal mailboxes?

No. UPS requires a street address and will leave the package on the doorstep.

Do you ship to rural route numbers?

Yes, however, it may take some extra time for the package to reach its final destination.

Can I send items to multiple addresses?

Yes, but separate orders must be placed for each shipping address.

How is sales tax calculated?

You will be charged sales tax in accordance with your state tax laws.

How will I know that my order has shipped?

Customers receive an E-mail order acknowledgement as well as a shipping notification.

Why wasn't my order shipped as soon as it was placed?

In-stock merchandise is normally shipped out of our warehouse within 24 to 48 hours of placing your order (excluding holidays and weekends). If an item is on backorder or the order was placed over a weekend or holiday, shipment will be delayed.

Calculating Shipping Time/Costs:

We use UPS to deliver orders within the continental U.S.

All orders are shipped FOB Eudora, Arkansas.

Lastly, shipping times are calculated from the time your order leaves our HPI-Direct warehouse. In stock merchandise will ship out 24 to 48 hours of order placement; excluding weekends and holidays. Overnight in-stock orders, if placed by 1:00pm EST, will ship same day. Shipping is delayed, of course, if an item is on backorder.

For shipping addresses within the continental U.S

  • UPS Ground Commercial 3-7 Business Days delivering to a business
  • UPS Ground Residential 3-7 Business Days delivering to a residence

Please contact our HPI-Direct professionals if you would like to add either the Early AM or Saturday delivery services to your order. Shipping fees are based on dimensions/weight, destination zone and the service standard selected. Freight charges are calculated after the shipping address is entered.

Fraud Protection:

We recommend that all customers who are shipping to addresses other than their billing address, notify their credit card company of the alternate shipping address. This process is becoming a standard and credit card companies are happy to assist you. Simply call your credit card company and let them know you are placing orders via the Internet and would like to give them (bank) an alternate shipping address.
