| This chart is for ground shipments to the contiguous 48 states. It is also for our customers in Alaska, Hawaii, Puerto Rico, and the U.S. Virgin Islands, if your order can be mailed through the United States Postal Service. If your order to AK, HI, PR or USVI cannot be mailed through the USPS, then please call for actual charges. We welcome orders shipped outside the U.S, Just call for actual shipping charges and insurance. We offer free freight on orders over $300. (except for items or large orders shipped by truck). This offer is good for ground shipments to the contiguous 48 states. It is also good for orders to AK, HI, PR or USVI if they can be mailed through the USPS. If not mailable to AK, HI, PR or USVI, please call for actual charges.
BIG STUFF: There are a few items in our inventory that are just too large to ship by regular ground transportation and require special truck shipment. Exceptionally large orders may also require truck shipment These are the only items which are exempt from the FREE FREIGHT policy for purchases over $300.00. Please contact us to speak with a representative regarding special delivery options along with shipping and handling charges. Oversize packages may incur an additional charge. |

Rush Orders:
MUST BE PLACED BEFORE 12:00 PM EST MONDAY-FRIDAY FOR SAME DAY PROCESSING!!!
In a hurry and need it fast? Heres an option that can help you in a crunch! RUSH – For an additional $5.00 you may want to consider adding a RUSH to your order. This little gem works like a Monopoly “get out of jail free” card. For your $5.00 we will move your order to the head of the line, making sure that it leaves our warehouse that business day. In order to make this happen we will have to receive your order no later than 12:00pm (noon) eastern time. If your order is received after that time your RUSH will ensure that your order leaves on the following business day. RUSH Priority is automatically included for no additional charge with all 2ND DAY AIR and NEXT DAY AIR ORDERS.
However, if you do not select 2ND DAY or NEXT DAY AIR,
RUSH WILL NOT affect the delivery or travel time of your order, it is just to prioritize your orders movement within our warehouse. RUSH is available for customers in The United States and Canada only.
OH NO! It's just as we have feared!
Because of ever increasing fuel prices, Cheap Joe's Art Stuff may be forced to pass on a Fuel Surcharge on all 2nd and Next Day Air deliveries. We are sorry for any inconvenience!
If your shipment is international, check the box (on the checkout page) to be contacted with the actual shipping and insurance charges before your order is processed. |
|
DROP SHIPPED:
Seeing this next to an item means that particular item will ship directly from the manufacturer. Once the item has been placed on order with the manufacturer the process can’t be stopped.
If you change your mind your refund will be minus the shipping charges incurred to get the item to you and then returned. Often a manufacturer will charge a restocking fee. This amount, also, will be deducted from your refund. |

TRUCK SHIPMENTS:
An item shipped by truck, whether direct from the factory or from Cheap Joe’s, will incur a shipping charge. IIf you have a Truck Shipment Item, you will be contacted regarding exact shipping costs by one of our Customer Service Representatives. The charge will vary depending on how far the truck has to travel to get to your curb. If you need additional special delivery options check out our White Glove options below. When your order includes items in addition to the truck ship item, you may count the price of the truck ship item towards the Free Freight policy. That way the other items can ship free.
Our White Glove Service
Cheap Joe’s wants to make setting up your studio as easy as possible. That’s why we’ve got a service called White Glove. This option will help you if you don’t have a commercial loading dock and a professional crew to move your new purchase. Any White Glove option is in addition to truck shipping charge.
Curbside Service: $75
This service will get your new purchase to your house and off the truck. If you’d like a call ahead let your CSR know so that you can arrange to have assistance (like a neighbor, a friend or someone with a strong back) available to move it inside.
Inside Service: $125
This service includes the $75 Curbside Service and offers inside delivery by the driver (inside delivery means: inside the nearest door). FYI: Please consider truck to be an 18 wheeler. If you live on a cul-de-sac or other area that is not easily accessible by a truck this size, you may want to find an alternate shipping location. |

2 DAY AIR SERVICE:
If you live in the 48 contiguous states and your package weight is less than 15 pounds, for an additional $12.99 we
will upgrade your shipping to 2 DAY AIR SERVICE. This not only speeds up
the delivery of your package, but it also ensures that your package will
leave our warehouse the next business day as RUSH Priority is automatically included for no additional charge with all 2ND DAY AIR ORDERS. From there your package will
travel for two business operating days and is guaranteed delivery at the
end of that second business day. For example, an order shipped on Monday will ship Tuesday, travel two business days and be delivered on Thursday. similarly, an order placed on Thursday would arrive the following Tuesday. Shipping operations are Monday thru Friday. If your package weight exceeds
the 15 pound limit, (excluding sheet paper, Gatorboard, portfolios, perfect show systems, individual canvas, canvas rolls or long canvas, print racks, some easels, most furniture & projectors - actual freight charges can be figured to send your package by this service). Please call and speak to a representative for actual freight figures.
OH NO! It's just as we have feared!

NEXT DAY AIR SERVICE:
Please Note: Sorry, but at this time, our online catalog does not support
the processing of Next Day Air shipments through our web
site. If your needs require this, please call for rates. If the bottom line is getting it there fast, this may be the way for you. NEXT DAY AIR service will guarantee that your package will arrive the next business day. For instance, if you were to place an order with Cheap Joe’s on a Tuesday your order would leave our warehouse on Wednesday. Your package would then travel and arrive on Thursday. RUSH Priority is automatically included for no additional charge with all NEXT DAY AIR ORDERS. Shipping operations are Monday thru Friday. NEXT DAY AIR shipment freight charges are figured at actual freight cost. Please call and speak to a representative for the applicable cost.
