Firestik FS Series CB Antennas

Shipping cost - is your system accurate? Our system is tied to the UPS shipping tables and is very accurate. However, the system does have limitations. In some situations the system may be incorrect. These situations involve oversized items (width + height X 2 + length) longer than 59.5 inches for oversize #1, items (width + height X 2 + length) longer than 84 inches for oversize #2, and orders which include an antenna. Freight is adjusted for these situations to reflect correct shipping cost's. Fuel surcharge- our system does not add the fuel surcharge charged by UPS. We add the fuel surcharge to the order and the dollar amount of the order is adjusted up by the current percentage.
Example 1 - An order that includes items such as an antenna bracket, coax and antenna grouped as one order. The system will calculate 2 boxes required. This is not correct in most cases and shipping cost will be adjusted down to a 1 box shipment if only 1 box is required.
Example 2 - For an oversized item such as a 5 foot or longer antenna or an antenna that includes a whip requiring a box (width + height X 2 + length) longer than 59.5 inches. The system does not add the oversize fee ($6) charged by the carrier. Freight is adjusted up to reflect the correct shipping cost.
Fuel Surcharge - UPS charges 4.75% of the shipping amount for ground and 16% of the shipping amount for air freight and
international shipments. We add the fuel surcharge to the order and the dollar amount of the order is adjusted up by this percentage to reflect the correct shipping cost. The fuel surcharge is a percentage of the shipping cost, not the entire cost of the order.
Weight - An (oversize one) package is billed at 30 pounds and an (oversize two) package is billed at 70 pounds by UPS. Some items will show up in the shopping cart as either 30 or 70 pounds even though the actual weight of the item is much less. This is not a mistake, this is how it will be billed by the carrier. In an effort to establish an accurate shipping cost we have input these weights for oversize items.
