Shipping Method Calculations

DSDI™ calculates shipping using various methods, depending on the specific merchandise purchased via the ordering process. Following is a list of shipping methods utilized by DSDI™ for wholesale drop ship distribution:

FLAT RATE -- For many oversized products such as sculptures and certain furniture pieces, a standard flat rate applies to all shipments for delivery within the 48 contiguous United States. Shipments to Alaska and Hawaii involving flat rate merchandise will require a quotation request to verify actual cost.

FREE SHIPPING -- DSDI™ offers free shipping for a number of its products, including certain furniture lines and imported goods. Free Shipping may not necessarily qualify for shipments to Alaska or Hawaii. CLICK HERE to browse all products that currently qualify for FREE SHIPPING.

UPS -- Most wholesale inventory involves shipping costs based on actual, published UPS Ground rates. In most cases, DSDI™ charges a ground delivery cost lower than (non-billed) residential rates published at http://ups.com. Fees are based on product weight, postal zip code origin (97367) and the delivery destination zip code (specified during checkout). Please note that DSDI™ may ship merchandise via either UPS or FedEx Ground in this case.
