ABOUT SHIPPING COSTS FOR ORDERS
SHIPPED OUTSIDE THE UNITED STATES



First: This only applies to Orders Shipped Outside the United States. We still only charge a
FLAT $4.95 per order, no matter what the distance or weight is, for orders shipped within
the United States. We know of no other legitimate electronic distributor who charges a lower price.

For all Orders shipped outside the United States (including orders shipped to Canada), we are sorry but we
find that we must raise our shipping charges. There are two major reasons for this; first the USPS has raised
their rates considerably this year, and we have not raised our shipping charges in over 8 years. Each year the
USPS has raised their rates (sometimes more than once per year), and we now find that on many orders it
costs us more to ship than what we charge, thus we lose money on these orders. The second reason is that
the USPS no longer allows any merchandise to be shipped inside a flat document envelope (at a reduced cost),
now all merchandise must be shipped as a parcel (at a much higher cost).

Because of these reasons, our new Shipping & Handling charges are as follows...

Shipping & Handling is a FLAT $15.00 per Order for orders shipped to Canada.
(Up to 8 ounces in shipping weight).

Shipping & Handling is a FLAT $17.50 per Order for orders shipped outside the U. S. and Canada.
(Up to 8 ounces in shipping weight).

We are sorry, but we no longer sell or ship to Great Britain or any
country located in the European Union (EU). EU countries include...

Austria, Belgium, Bulgaria, Croatia, Cyprus, Czechia, Denmark, Estonia,
Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Ireland, Italy, Latvia,
Lithuania, Luxembourg, Malta, Netherlands, Poland, Portugal,
Romania, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden.

The reason is due to VAT collection issues.


For all orders over 8 ounces shipped Outside The United States:

We reserve the right to charge the exact shipping costs.
Your order will be cancelled and an email will be sent to you
with instructions on how to submit the additional shipping cost.

If you wish: You may email us first at smc@smcelectronics.com
with your intended order and the country in which the order
will be shipped to.

Massachusetts residents and orders shipped to
Massachusetts will be charged 6.25% sales tax.

We understand that many people only place very small orders, because of the increases in
Shipping & Handling, we suggest that orders be placed that include quantities or multiple
items that will be needed for the future.

We also must mention that we have No Minimum Order for orders to be shipped outside
the United States. Most other companies won't even bother with such an order unless it
totals $50-$100 BEFORE the shipping cost.
