Shipping Promotions
At various times, PensGear.com may offer promotions that allow for discounted shipping rates. These promotions could be noted as “Free Shipping”.
- Free Shipping promotions apply only to USPS Ground shipments. Other shipping methods (i.e. UPS Standard or Express) are not included in these promotions unless noted as such.
- Orders to Alaska and Hawaii will ship via UPS 2nd day and are therefore not included in the shipping promotions unless noted as such.
- International orders may warrant additional Customs entry fees which are not included in the shipping fee. Air Waybill invoice will be sent to recipient via UPS.
- Penguins Authentics items are boxed and shipped separately from PensGear.com items and are typically boxed individually to ensure safety during shipping. There is a flat shipping cost attached to each Penguins Authentics item for that reason.
- Free Shipping promotions do not apply to Penguins Authentics or select Manufacturer Direct items.
