Shipping And Handling

All orders within the U.S. will be charged $15.99 for shipping and handling*. Please remember that there are Postal Service regulations prohibiting the shipping of certain products, including fuel and dope products. Also please note that UPS, FEDX and freight shipments require a full street address, not just a P.O. box number. Extra shipping and handling costs due to address changes or errors are beyond the control of Brodak’s and will be billed to the customer.

*With the exception of paint, fuel and oversized kits, the cost on these products will be calculated according to the weight, size and destination of the package. Due to regulations, we are prohibited to ship “gallons” of fuel and paint products.

***You may see an additional charge on your credit card if your carts' estimated shipping is lower than the actual cost to ship.    

 

Orders From Outside The U.S.

Brodak’s welcomes orders from outside the United States. All payments, however, must be made in U.S. funds in the form of an International Money Order, a bank draft drawn on a U.S. bank, VISA or MASTERCARD. We cannot accept non-U.S. currency or personal checks from customers outside the U.S. Minimum order 20.00.

Shipping on international orders will be estimated and/or calculated according to weight by the post office, therefore, we are unable to give you an exact shipping cost until we actually take your package to the post office.

***You may see an additional charge on your credit card if your carts' estimated shipping is lower than the actual cost to ship.
