TradePort has partnered with UPS to provide our customers the fastest and most reliable shipping services available.

Shipping and Handling Rates
Shipping and handling costs are fixed on a per item basis. Shipping and handling costs are significantly higher for wholesale items than for retail items because each item must be personally inspected and guaranteed to be in acceptable condition and include all critical accessories. We believe a fixed cost to be an advantage. With shipping and handling costs stated up-front, the cost can be easily taken into consideration as part of the total price. The total shipping and handling cost is clearly listed in every TradePort item description.
