Shipping Information

Shipping & Order Processing Policy

Shipping Carriers & Costs

Thunderbird Supply offers shipping via two nationally recognized carriers. Shipping and insurance charges are added to each invoice unless the customer declines insurance. If insurance is declined and the package is lost, it is the customer's responsibility.

Shipping costs are based on weight, dimensions, and destination, and we charge the rates published by our carriers. The shipping estimate provided on the website is based on the normal weight of items, but actual shipping costs may vary due to irregular item sizes. If your order costs more to ship than the estimate, we will contact you with the new total before processing or charging your card.

Shipping Policy for New Customers (Effective January 12, 2015)
  • Order Verification: Orders may be held for 3-5 extra business days for verification purposes to reduce the risk of fraudulent orders.
