We are happy to ship by UPS or US Mail... whichever you prefer. Smaller items are generally cheaper to send by US Mail. Larger items should go by UPS. Materials, Packing, and Shipping on this item is $XXXX. Insurance is $1.50 per hundred. UPS charges $5 for the signature required service, US Post office signature service is 3.50. The insurance and signature service are optional, but there can be no insurance coverage without the signature required, service. If you decline signature service and/or insurance and the neighbor kid steals the box off your porch, or if it gets delivered to the wrong address, or if the delivery truck crashes and burns . . . You are out of luck. I highly recommend the insurance and signature service. Feel free to call to discuss shipping options. (419) 842-1863 11am to 6pm eastern time zone.
