We ship most of our orders via United States Post Office Priority Mail with Delivery Confirmation.  This adds a little extra cost to each package, but it ensures that your order arrives quickly and safely.  We found the US Post Office to be less expensive than UPS and FedEx, and thus, we use USPS for all of our orders.

The shipping charge that you see also includes a small handling fee to cover the cost of the time and materials to package your order.  We use lots of bubble wrap and pack most stones in separate ziplock bags.

You can find an estimate for your shipping cost by entering your zip code into the box at the bottom of the shopping cart page.
