Packstudio sets its shipping and handling charges to cover our direct costs that include labor, freight, and packaging materials.  These charges do not include any allocation of overhead costs such as facilities, sales expense, or the cost of general administration.

Packstudio receives preferential pricing from shipping partners due to our volume and location, and these prices are typically much lower than what such partners would offer at retail or to other corporate clients.  These prices are the base rate upon which we calculate pricing to our clients. Handling fees cover the costs of packaging materials, shrink wrap, labels and the direct work to package and ship such materials.

All Shipping and Handling charges will be applied to each order as applicable.

Due to customs taxes that may be incurred during delivery to International locations, additional charges may apply to your order. Shipping delays may occur if local holidays are being observed.
