International Shipping
Information
The shipment of the Gold Plating Equipment
from Reading Michigan to you, in an International Destination, typically involves a number
of factors.
Because of the HIGH cost of shipping
the chrome stripper chemical, and the low cost of the chemical in your country, we suggest
you source 1 to 1.5 pounds of sodium hydroxide SOLID in your country.
We have learned that it is also
called "Natrium-Hydroxide" in most European countries.
Typically this chemical
comes in 50 pound bags in the USA. We have reports that a person can purchase in
small 1 kg. sizes for about $5.00 USD. This price is subject to change and is
only given as an estimate.
Check with your local chemical supply house. They may not
have a 1.5 pound package but may be able to sell you 2 pounds or some other small
quantity. The mixture ratio is 1 to 1.5 pounds of sodium hydroxide SOLID to one gallon of
distilled water. The chemical supply company may have some of the sodium hydroxide
chemical premixed.
There are several
specific elements in packaging for International Shipments.
We use
Federal Express AIR FREIGHT as our
International Carrier, who have demonstrated their ability to give prompt
service to our customers.
We are informed that
in the eyes of Federal Express AIR FREIGHT our packaging of Gold
Plating Equipment does not exceed a shipping size to go into extra charges for DIM, or
dimensional weight. However, this DIM weight calculation, as well as all other Air Freight
calculations are subject to change without advance notice to us or our ability to provide
you with advance notice of a rate change.
The dimensions of our Gold Plating
Solution Package for up to a 16 ounce bottle of Gold Plating Solution is 6 by 6 by 10. The
actual weight of the package depends on the quantity of gold in the package. The shipment
of the Gold Plating solution must ship as Dangerous Goods which is also
referred to as Hazardous Materials. Certain countries prohibit
shipments of Dangerous Goods / Hazardous Materials into the country.
All of the Gold Plating
Solution is prepackaged into appropriate Hazardous Materials packaging, including the
required 4GV
box and the box is marked "Toxic liquids, inorganic, n.o.s. (Potassium metallic cyanide
mixture), 6.1, UN 3287, II, DOT E-8249, 1 X {we insert the contents content
weight here}."
The 8 ounce gold plating solution package typically weighs 3 pounds. 16
ounces typically weighs 4 pounds.
By law, we are not able to combine the gold
plating chemical box into the equipment box. This violates assorted US and
International laws.
All prices mentioned in this WEB
SITE, by phone, or in any other communication method, are stated in US DOLLARS (USD).
Because of the nature of the items
being shipped, all International Carriers of Dangerous Goods / Hazardous Materials
will
not give a promised delivery date. They do not have an unusual delay in
processing, it is that they will not promise delivery by a certain date because
of the associated difficulties in transporting into certain countries and
dealing with Customs and so on.
We ship by the best way,
which is Federal Express AIR FREIGHT for International Shipments (which is delivered to the
Federal Express AIR FREIGHT facility at an International Airport in your area), and pass through the shipping charges to you.
You will have to make whatever local arraignments are necessary for you to pick
up the package that is delivered to the Federal Express AIR FREIGHT facility at
an International Airport in your area.
-
Shipping charges are an expense for you, as
well as an extra processing expense for us. We have to process several
quotations, to determine which method is the best way to ship to you.
On International Shipments we
produce a Commercial Invoice. As the recipient, you are responsible for all
Transportation Costs, Taxes, Duties, and so on, payable to assorted Governmental Agencies
within your country.
We ship International Packages by
Air. To give you a quote on the cost of a shipment to you, we must have a
specific number of questions answered.
Please note:
Occasionally local rules on different countries put limitations on what can be
shipped direct to your home or business. If this is the case, a viable option
for you may be to ship to you via the local International Airport where you go
and make the pick up yourself at the airport. Because of this, we find is wise
to get the name of the closed major International Airport in your country. Based
on that, we may have assorted options to deal with when we are requesting the
information from Federal Express.
As a side note, to ship to you by Federal Express Air Freight, we typically have to
courier the shipment to the Federal Express office at the Detroit Airport.
Please note that any
Air Freight quotation is only an estimate for a very limited time, due to
changes in matters and price structures at Federal Express that we do not control.
Whatever the
shipping costs is, at a net cost to us, on the day the shipment is made to
you, is what your cost will be. We do not add a surcharge for processing.

As a consideration of the high costs of
shipping Internationally by Federal Express AIR FREIGHT, customers often
increase the amount of Gold Plating solutions they purchase initially.
The cost to ship is frequently calculated
based on MINIMUM CHARGES, particularly if Federal Express AIR FREIGHT can carry
the packages all the way.
Whenever a shipment must be INTERLINED,
meaning starting with Federal Express AIR FREIGHT and then must be handed off to
a second carrier, it increases the costs. While we regret the increases in such
costs, we must follow the rules for International Shipping.
Because of the fact that shipping
processes, and associated costs are beyond our control, any shipping price is
only quoted for a period of 2 days. This is not our choice but it is the way we
are having to work with the Federal Express Air Freight.
We look forward to hearing from you and helping you make
money.
