These are bulk shipments and are not covered in expedited shipping.
    6. Dimensional Pricing:

      3. DIM Weight is ignored ONLY if both of the following conditions are met:
        1. Package weight < 1 pound, or

        2. Any value between 15.01 oz. and 15.99 oz. will be billed as (< 1lb)
    7. End Weight: This is the final weight of the item to be shipped, including the mailer or box and any necessary packing material. IMPORTANT: Some weight discrepancy is expected due to the ordinary course of business. Shipments of 2+ lbs with a weight discrepancy of 1 lb or less and shipments of less than 1.99 lb with a weight discrepancy of 2 oz or less will not be investigated for billing discrepancies.
    8. Peak Shipping: We do not guarantee Shipping Service Level Agreements during peak.
