Shipping Policy

SHIPPING & HANDLING CHARGES

We're not going to lie. It costs money to ship lead. Instead of burying the cost into our products, we will charge you actual UPS or FedEx rates. To determine the shipping and handling charge of your order, add the items you wish to purchase to your shopping cart  and click the "Shipping Quote" link on the shopping cart page. After supplying a zip code our shipping and handling charge will be displayed. To change shipping options, use the drop-down box and select a new method of shipping.

NOTE: At this time, the freight portion will be left off of any order over 150 pounds total weight. We use a special service called hundredweight and are able to ship at a lower per pound cost than through the normal standard weigh costs. We will contact you via e-mail or telephone with the freight charge prior to shipping your order. We are sorry for the inconvenience but the UPS rate program cannot handle shipment weights over 150 pounds.

ALASKA, HAWAII, AIR AND INTERNATIONAL SHIPPING

FREE Shipping
Products that have the Free Shipping logo will be shipped via US Postal Service First Class to any location within the United States (including Alaska and Hawaii) unless ordered with another product. In that case, they will be shipped together using the service of the other product. Heavier orders may be shipped via USPS Priority Mail or UPS Ground at the discretion of Portable Power Systems.

Priority Mail - Flat Rate $4.60
In general, products will be shipped via US Postal Service Priority Mail within the United States (including Alaska and Hawaii) for all orders totaling 2 pounds or less. Orders over 2 pounds will be shipped via UPS Ground or FedEx Ground. For faster service, please select a shipping method during checkout and the shipping and handling charge will be provided.

UPS/Fed-Ex By The Pound
We specialize in larger Sealed Lead Acid batteries and daily ship 100's of pounds of lead. Ground shipping is by far the least expensive way to go. We now offer next day and second day air service for faster delivery. Please select your service level during checkout to get current rates. Next Day and Second Day Air orders received prior to 2:00 MST will be shipped the same day. PPS will select either Fed-Ex or UPS as the air delivery carrier unless specifically specified in the special instructions of your order.
