The days of low fuel costs seem to be behind us in the United States. I spend much of my day lately hoping that prices on shipping and fuel costs will level off and stop rising. To this point we haven't seen much relief. Each day brings new hope so we just have to try to wait this out and hope that prices will fall and we will get back to business as usual.
I do want to express a few thoughts on shipping costs. Lawn ornaments, statues, fountains and outdoor furniture are large and heavy items so shipping is a consideration. The policy at Lawn Ornaments and Fountains.com is that we only charge the cost of shipping to your delivery zip code. We do sometimes discount shipping cost when possible based on the size of the individual order. We call several freight carriers and obtain several quotes to your zip code to find the lowest shipping rate possible and charge the lowest rate. We do not wish to make money on shipping.
Please beware of websites and companies that claim that shipping is free, included or at a very low rate as they are attempting to mislead the buyer. Most companies that ship large items such as fountains that claim that shipping is free are actually just adding the shipping into the price of the item. They take the shipping cost of the item from the east coast to the west coast and add that cost into the price of the item. I believe if you do a little bit of comparison you will find that if you call and ask us to obtain a shipping quote for the item to your zip code and then add the shipping cost and the cost of the item together that it will cost much less than most of the sites that claim to offer free shipping. Many companies include the shipping to save time and work as obtaining individual shipping quotes does take time and knowledge however it will save you the buyer money.
We have a knowledgeable staff available to assist you with all of your product and shipping questions. We have been shipping lawn ornaments and fountains throughout the United States for over ten years and are able to secure some of the most reasonable shipping rates available.
