Ship To For Inventory, Rebuilds and Samples:

• All shipments have a $7.00 handling fee to cover material cost.  This is the $7.00 that shows up in the shopping cart as shipping because of the limited CGI script currently provided.
  • We try to recycle all packing materials keeping this handling fee low and attempting to keep us green.
• Most clients email us a PDF of their FedEx or UPS shipping label after receiving from us the actual weight and dimensions of their package or packages.  When your package/s are ready to ship we provide you the box/es dimensions and weight.  You then go on-line to your preferred carrier, complete a very easy form, pay the freight, print the shipping label to Adobe, and save.  You email us that saved PDF file, we print the PDF and attach to your box or boxes for shipping.  Why do we do this?
• We no longer accept credit cards.  If we run the freight through PayPal they get 5% of the freight which puts us in the hole.
• We do not like "Flat Rate" fees because someone pays to much and someone pays too little. 
  • The combinations of batteries, chargers, and accessories makes a weight and item weight factoring program cumbersome.
• We can accommodate individual client shipping needs that, for various reasons, may be different.
• We also drop ship.
• To secure the additional 5% discount off of purchased product, most clients select the "mail order" option at checkout.  When we see the order post we email the bank wire information and mailing address for Cashiers / Company check or money order.
• We can also ship via your UPS or FEDEX prepaid return label, signature required.  Prepaid return label PDF must be emailed to sales@rathbonebroadcastbatteries.com
