Currently, all of our shipments are through UPS, USPS or one of several Trucking Companies. When selecting standard shipping, Lightworld.com has the right to determine which carrier will be used. If a Product cannot be shipped via USPS or UPS, we will use a Trucking Company. Additional Charges may apply. We will contact the Customer with these charges for approval before the Order is Shipped. Priority mail will be used for all PO Box shipping addresses.

If the item cannot be shipped via UPS Ground, then the Free Shipping Does Not apply. For instance, There is no Free UPS Ground Shipping to Alaska, Hawaii or Puerto Rico. We will contact the Customer with the Updated Shipping Charge. If UPS charges an Oversize package, then we will charge that rate to the customer in addition to the quoted price. We will contact the customer when an Over-Size rate applies before charging & shipping. We also offer Overnight (UPS Red) and 2nd Day Delivery (UPS Blue) at additional charges.

UPS Red: UPS Red features fast, reliable delivery to every address in all 50 states and Puerto Rico. They (UPS) guarantees delivery by end-of-day the next business day depending on destination. For Saturday deliveries there is an additional charge, and you (the customer) must call to specify. UPS delivers by noon or 1:30 p.m. on Saturdays.

UPS Blue: UPS Blue provides guaranteed on-time delivery by the end of the second business day to every address coast to coast and in Puerto Rico. An economical alternative for important shipments that are time-sensitive but don't require overnight delivery.

UPS Orange: UPS Orange provides guaranteed on-time delivery by the end of the third business day to every address coast to coast and Puerto Rico. Best used by those that do not need a shipment quickly, but need to know exactly when it will arrive.

UPS Ground: UPS Ground is the most economical means of shipment. All orders arrive at their destination within 3 - 7 business days.
