Amateur Geologist, Inc :: Shipping Information
| Shipping Information |
As a stocking merchant, Amateur Geologist strives to pack and ship all orders on the same business day that we receive them.
Our business day are Mondays through Fridays 9am to 5pm and, for UPS same day shipping, our shipping day ends at 1:30pm Pacific
Time (our UPS pickup is at 2:30pm).
Orders shipping by UPS received before 1:30pm on a business day are picked up by UPS on the same business day. If a order comes in between the close of shipping at 1:30pm we will try to process and pack it to get it on the days UPS truck.
Packages shipped by US Mail are packed on the business day the order is received and picked up on the morning of the following business day.
Our mail is picked up too early in the morning for us to have processed and packed any orders. Orders shipping by mail and orders shipping by UPS placed after our close of shipping are packed on the next business day.
Orders shipping by US Mail placed on Friday will be packaged on Friday, will be picked up on Saturday. However, we do not process packages for shipment on the weekends.
We can't ship on Saturday, Sunday or a holiday as pickups are not made on those days. UPS does not honor the same holidays as USPS so we're able to ship on more Federal holidays using UPS.
We recommend shipping by UPS. UPS is much more reliable on deliveries. UPS provides package tracking and guaranteed delivery day. USPS offers neither.
I've supplied a UPS Ground travel time estimate map here. I update the map periodically as UPS routing changes can change the travel time. I recommend that if you're trying to time the arrival of your package but still save money an use UPS Ground that you check the current map. To get the current UPS delivery travel time estimate map to your area use this link: UPS Ground Map. Remember travel time is in business days where your package only travels non-holiday weekdays.
USPS Express Mail takes 1-3 days depending upon whether you live downtown in a major city, a major city suburb or a rural area. Normally USPS Priority Mail takes 2-4 days but in 10% of the time it takes much longer. USPS First-Class Mail takes 2-4 days, too. Delivery times for USPS Parrcel Post are roughly the same as for UPS Ground. USPS does NOT provide a guaranteed delivery time.
Only USPS Express Mail offers tracking information. If you use USPS once the package has been turned over to the post office then there's no way for either you or for us to know where a package is until it is delivered. After a package is 3 weeks late we can replace the contents of your package once we have received a signed did not receive statement from you.
