It can be so confusing, so I am devoting this page to it. Let me know if it needs something more.This is for people outside of Hawaii only.

******************************************

You are buying premium, gourmet and valuable Fresh Roasted 100% Kona Coffee. We roast the day before we send it. My suggestion, and it is really always up to you, is that you have it arrive as quickly as you can, if you care about Fresh Roasted coffee and if the economics make sense to you. Both count. That is just my opinion and we are always happy, really, to send it the way YOU want it! You make our world!

*The price that will show up on your invoice at the time you order, is the actual FedEx cost. I adjust it later, if you do not choose FedEx*.

Your choices for shipping will have to be ONE of these 4

Please make an Active choice, thank you

1)<Cheapest>/USPSPriority

"Cheapest" means, we will send it the way that is the least costly to you. Two pounds of green or roasted coffee or less will go USPS Priority Mail Flat Rate Envelope for $6.30. If you order more than 1 Macadamias, then that will be the USPS Priority Mail Flat Rate Box for $11.30. A 5 pound roasted coffee Bulk Bag can also go via USPS Priority Flat Rate box for $11.30.

*Your invoice within your package will have the actual shipping charges that I will post to your card.

 

2)<Fastest>

We will always use FedEx if you choose this. Packages can go from here to there in 2 days. This does not count weekends as FedEx does not work on weekends. If you order 2 pounds or less, there might be an additional small charge for FedEx service.

*Your invoice within your package will have the actual shipping charges that I will post to your card.

 

3)<USPS Priority>

If you choose USPS Priority, we will send it accordingly. If you can not accept FedEx, then you must choose USPS Priority. Examples of where FedEx can not deliver are: P O Boxes and Foreign orders. We will send it the least expensive way using USPS Priority.

*Your invoice within your package will have the actual shipping charges that I will post to your card.

 

4)<FedEx>

is FedEx is FedEx:). It will take 2 days from here to there, unless it is the very busy Holiday rush, then it might take 3 days. And remember again, FedEx does not consider the weekends work days, unless you want to pay a hefty surcharge and we do not offer that as a choice.

*Your invoice within your package will have the actual shipping charges that I will post to your card.

Some up close begonia flowers that bloom in September. Their leaves, in the back ground, look painted with silver paint.

Foreign Orders are very special and we appreciate them and the postage is different.

USPSFlat Rate International envelope to Canada & Mexico costs $11.45

USPSFlat Rate International envelope elsewhere costs $13.45

(USPS Flat Rate International Envelope capable of holding up to 3 pounds green or 2 pounds roasted)

USPSFlat Rate International BOX to Canada & Mexico costs $25.45

USPSFlat Rate International BOX to all other countries = $40.45:(

(USPS Flat Rate International BOX capable of holding up to 10 pounds of green or a combination of stuff)

 

What can fit in a USPS Priority Flat Rate envelope no matter where it goes?

1 or 2 pounds of our roasted coffee

What else?

We believe in also shipping green/unroasted coffee via the cheaper USPS Priority Mail Flat Rate system. But you must decide by picking 1) or 2) from above. We can fit 4 pounds of green/unroasted beans shipped within the US for that same $6.30- only 3 pounds allowed outside of the US, sorry.

We can fit only 3 pounds of green/unroasted beans in an USPS International Flat Rate Envelope for $11.45 to Canada and Mexico and $13.45 elsewhere

What doesn't fit in a USPS Priority Flat Rate envelope?

More than 2 pounds of our roasted coffee, no more green/unroasted than I write above, and any amount of Macadamias, as they are too bulky.

How are Macadamias sent?

They are sent via USPS Priority Mail in a Priority Mail box with the cost as follows:
1lb for $9.75 and 2lbs will go in a USPS Priority Flat Rate box for $11.30.

What if I don't care about super-duper optimum freshness, is there anything cheaper?

Good question:). Select <Cheapest>

We can fit a 5 pound bag of roasted coffee, up to about 6 packages of Macadamias and up to 10 pounds of green/unroasted beans in a USPS Flat Rate BOX for a total S&H of $11.30.

OF COURSE .....

It really is up to you, but you must select 1) or 2) or 3) or 4) from above.

INVOICE

When you make an order on my web site, my site is pre-programmed for FedEx. You will not see the USPS Flat Rate costs as I have stated above for 2 pounds of roasted and the green/unroasted poundage costs, when you SUBMIT your order.

I will change the invoice here, and include it with your package when I mail it to you. All credit card charges are hand put in by me at a later time then when you make your order.

Okay hope that helps. Let me know.
