Shipping
Things are pretty much back to normal in 2023

We used to have a table that showed exactly what you are going to spend on shipping, and we'd tweak it every so often to account for the latest rates from USPS and Fedex. Since rates are extremely dependent on distance and size nowadays, we had to go to more of an "explanation" page, which is here. You'll see the actual rates at checkout.

What's new in 2023? FEDEX & UPS HATE long-skinny packages like the ones we often ship out. USPS really really hates them, FYI. The cost to ship a custom draft board that is rolled and oversize has MORE THAN TRIPLED with the US Post Office over the past 2 years. And that cost has nearly doubled with Fedex and UPS. So what have we done....a lot. I mean a ton of things to help you out. #1 we now offer at least 1 FOLDED option on all Baseball Draft Boards to avoid oversize charges. Keep in mind, it takes a long time to fold and pack a 30 square foot poster compared to rolling it, so we charge a couple dollars for the service. But you save big on shipping, especially if you are getting it shipped with an express option. #2 We've reconfigured some of our products to fall below the thresholds to trigger the big oversize charges.

WE ENHANCED OUR RETURNS POLICY for Baseball 2023. For past 2 years, we said "no returns". But this season, we're allowing returns on non-custom items, subject to a restocking fee. See our Returns policy for complete details.

General Shipping Strategies
Order sooner than later, obviously.
Envelopes ship cheaper than tubes. Medium and Jumbo 2-board option ships in an envelope, fyi. Elephant, Jumbo 12x25 and Customs ship in tubes. Obviously, tubes eliminate creases, but they ship as 5-10 pounds instead of 1 pound or so.
DO NOT DO NOT DO NOT DO NOT RELY on Fedex Ground or USPS Priority Mail maps from St. Louis for timing, although they should be pretty close. While St. Louis to NYC is USUALLY a RELIABLE 2Day transit via Ground, more often than not, this shipment will take 3-4 days with ground. So plan on that.
Custom Draft Boards also have a lead time of a few days to produce. More often than not, we ship these out faster than we promise in case shipping is getting delayed.

WE MIGHT roll out an option for folded custom draft boards, but for now, we don't have the labor to fold all of the draft boards.
