Our standard domestic shipping method is the US Postal Service, however, if another carrier such as UPS, FedEx, or Spee Dee Delivery is quicker and/or more economical, we may use another carrier at our discretion. Standard shipping & handling rates from this on-line store was initially based on total transaction amount and are currently: $0-$99.99 = $11.99, $100-$199.99 = $15.99, $200-$299.99 = $19.99, $300-$399.99 = $24.99, $400 and more = $29.99. (NOTE: PayPal is our credit card processor, and starting in 2012 they have made changes where some of our on-line customers have had their shipments calculated based on their location instead of the above method, which has been outside our control.) Shipment pricing is for economy shipping, however, we typically try upgrade your shipping to USPS Priority Mail at our expense and at our descretion. Faster shipping options are available and prices may vary, so please contact us to request faster shipping options at 651-395-2296. A $8.50 charge is added for C.O.D. shipments. There will be a $10 delivery surcharge applied, if the carrier, (i.e. Fedex) determines that address supplied by the customer is incorrect. Please enter addresses carefully. Orders which are returned to us because recipient was not available and/or packages refused without being delivered may be accessed a $10 shipping fee.

International orders will be shipped via the U.S. Postal Service Parcel Post, First Class, or most economical means available. Due to huge shipping rate increases over the past few years, we've been forced to change our rates to reflect the increase and based on the total transaction amount in your shopping cart the rates are currently: $0-$99.99 = $34.99, $100-$199.99 = $44.99, $200-$299.99 = $49.99, $300-$399.99 = $59.99, $400 and more = $69.99. Many times these rates don't cover the full cost of shipping and we pay the difference. If you require Priority Mail or Next Day, please contact us for shipping price estimates. On average, International shipments arrive within 5-10 business days, but can sometimes be delayed at bordor customs. We offer no guarantees for International delivery times. Please note there may be additional custom duties or other taxes that will have to be paid for upon delivery of the shipment by the customer. We do not know if or what these charges are in advance as they are not charged by us and are charged by your government at the delivery location. Please check with your government to determine your possible charges before you order. NOTE: If you choose to have your order shipped via UPS or FedEx, there may be additional brokerage fees required upon delivery to pay for subcontracted delivery companies. This is why we recommend the use of US Postal Services. If you ask us to pre-pay the customs fees to speed the delivery time, what we pay is only an estimate and does not include potential broker fees. If we are charged extra customs taxes or brokerage fees after delivery, those will be charged to your credit card. On larger orders or oversized packages sent internationally, we may ask you to pay slightly higher shipping fees to cover the additional shipping charges. You will be notified of this after placing your order. If you need overnight or faster shipping, please contact us before placing your order.

Are items in stock?

We pride ourselves in stocking nearly all of the more popular products we sell. With the infinite number of products we have available to us and in order to maintain lower costs for our customers, unfortunately we can't stock all items. Turn-around on products not in stock are usually one to three days due to having local distributors and manufactures, but in some rare cases can still be 3 to 10 days.

NOTE: Due to COVID and production restrictions by some of our suppliers, please be aware that there may be delays in shipping while we continue to work hard to source products from other suppliers. It's equally frustrating for us when products take weeks or months to reach us, but please know that we are doing everything we can to get your orders out as quickly as possible. In some cases we may ship partial orders to get you as many products as we have available, then we pay the shipping to get the remainder shipped to you at a later date.

Many internet resellers do what is called "drop-shipping." This is where the company you are buying from is not the company actually sending you the item and can usually cause delays in you getting what you ordered or you receive the wrong item. At Olson Brother's Distributing, Inc. (OBUPS.COM), we always have the product delivered to us for inspection prior to shipping it to you to ensure you receive the correct quality products the first time. At our discretion we may "drop-ship" if the customer has a special time sensitive need and our manufacturer supports drop-shipping.

Although rare, it is still possible for us and our distributors to be out of an offered item, especially our international distributors. If we are out of an item we will do everything possible to acquire it quickly and/or communicate to you the estimated time of arrival.

Why is shopping with us so safe?

Safety in Numbers: With Secure Servers hosted PayPal, you are one of millions of users every year who chooses to shop on these secure servers.
Safe Technology: Secure socket layer (SSL) software is the industry standard and among the best software available today for secure commerce transactions. It encrypts all of your personal information including credit card number, name, and address, so that it cannot be read as the information travels over the Internet.

PayPal: PayPal supports two ways to buy from OBUPS, as a PayPal non-member and as a PayPal member. As a non-member you will be required to enter your shipping and credit card information each time you buy from this online store. As a FREE PayPal member, you enter your shipping and credit card information once when you initially join, then never again. This significantly reduces credit card number theft since your information is never sent over the internet again.

Do I have any other protection against fraud?

Our financial partner is hosted by PayPal and so you would automatically be covered by any PayPal Buyer Protection Program, if qualified. PayPal offers customers an optional $1000 Protection Program during checkout. We encourage you to visit www.paypal.com for more information regarding their buyer protection policies.
