To be eligible for SuperSaver Shipping, your order must have a sub-total of at least $30.00 and be no more than $250.00.
Keep in mind that this method is a very slow ship method, so we don't suggest using it if you are on a deadline. The times listed above are estimates, however delays can be common with non-priority shipping methods. If time is not an issue this is a great option!

A Few More FAQs

Our manufacturing times will vary depending on the product you’re planning on ordering. Typically though, manufacturing takes between 2-7 business days.
Choosing the best shipping method is a person-by-person decision based on each customer's needs. Some customers require a quicker delivery, and others are more worried about the cost. Due to these different factors, there is no 1 best method.

shipping to New Zealand?
Re: shipping to New Zealand?
Greetings from PrestoPhoto, we do ship to New Zealand!
I'm afraid I can't give you an exact estimate for shipping time. Ship time and cost depend on the ship to address, weight of package, and most importantly ship method selected. Thus, it is not possible to provide an accurate ship cost.
If you have the product in your account you can add it to your cart and view all the ship method(time) options that will be available for you without having to complete the checkout process or give us credit card information.

bulk shipping
Re: bulk shipping
Hello! The ship time and cost depend on the ship to address, weight of package, and most importantly ship method selected. Thus, it is not possible to provide an accurate ship cost.
If your order total is over $30.00, we offer a flat rate ship cost of $7.99 for international shipping and $1.99 for domestic. This is available for bulk orders however it is not tracked so not suggested and is a very slow ship method so don't use it if you are on a deadline.
