Free Shipping for Unit Blocks

We manufacture your order after it is placed and ship your order upon completion. Your order typically arrives 3-8 weeks from the date you placed your order, depending on the size of the order and the number of orders in line before you.

Our larger classroom sets are composed of our smaller starter and booster sets. Or, put another way, our smaller sets can be add together to build classroom sets. To provide faster shipping, we may ship smaller sets as they are completed to fulfill orders for larger sets.

International Shipping

Free Delivery for All Unit Blocks shipped within the United States. Period.

1. FREE Delivery by Hand of Unit Blocks in the Local Area.

We're located in Asheville, North Carolina – the Paris of the South, named #1 Place to Retire, voted Beer City USA, a great place for a wooden toy business, and the former First Family’s favorite place to visit.

Within our local area, we offer hand delivery, when time permits, so we can meet our customers! Typically, we'll hand deliver if the mileage from Asheville, North Carolina, is within 20 miles.

2. FREE Unit Blocks Shipping via USPS Priority Mail.

Within the Entire United States, every block ships Priority Mail.

Includes everything we make.

The ENTIRE United States includes Alaska, Hawaii, Puerto Rico, U.S. Virgin Islands, American Samoa, Marshall Islands, Islands of Palau, and APO/FPO addresses. This includes ALL of our home unit blocks sets, same shape unit block sets, bulk unit blocks sets, Rx sets, unit blocks booster sets, and school classroom unit blocks sets.

True Free Shipping for your next order of solid Hard Maple Wooden Blocks? You bet. As easy as 1-2-3.

We love Alaska, Hawaii, and U.S. Territories.

Unlike other companies that offer “Free Shipping” for Standard Unit Blocks, there are NO special 30% up-charges for orders shipped to Alaska, Hawaii, or U.S. territories. Just select the USPS Priority Mail Free Shipping option. We ship to any address served by the United States Postal Service. Please select USPS Priority for your order.

We love APO/FPO addresses.

We happily ship to foreign service schools, service members, and families at APO/FPO addresses. Please consider yourself back home. Just select USPS Priority Mail with Free Shipping for your wooden blocks when you place your order.

International Shipping of Unit Blocks Worldwide

We ship worldwide using USPS Priority International and ONLY USPS Priority International. This means we cannot currently ship to countries not served by USPS Priority International, including Ascension, Bolivia, Falkland Islands, North Korea, and Somalia.

Shipping Restrictions

Under U.S. law, we are also unable to ship non-humanitarian purchases to Cuba, Syria, Iran, Lybia, Sudan, Somalia, or North Korea. Our understanding is that, in the unlikely event an international humanitarian relief organization wants to buy our blocks and ship into an embargoed country, we can honor that request.

(Because we only use USPS Priority International, this still means no blocks for Kim Jung Un, even as humanitarian aid. Yes, I’m sure he would benefit from having his own set of blocks, as would some other heads of state we know, but, sadly, it is not to be.)

Customs Forms

The customs form that we prepare for any international shipment will show the U.S. retail price of the blocks you have purchased, excluding additional international shipping charges. Smaller sets shipped as part of a larger order will typically show the U.S. retail price of the individual set contained within the box.

Taxes

Our shipping rates do NOT include GAT, VAT, PST, customs, or any other taxes, fees, duties, or charges that may be imposed by your country.

Mail Forwarders

We love Mail Forwarders. We ship FREE to all U.S. addresses – including reputable U.S.-based Mail Forwarding addresses for international customers.

If you live OUTSIDE the United States, consider shipping your order through an established Mail Forwarding service. Shipito has negotiated exceptionally low rates with international carriers and can offer you multi-package discounts.
