FASTER SHIPPING OPTIONS
When you need it "yesterday!"
It is in your best interest to read all the information on this page before selecting an expedited delivery service!

Before you decide you need a faster shipping option, take a look at our shipping map for regular UPS Ground service. It shows how long it will take to get your package under normal conditions.

Please note, the map shows the time it takes for the package to reach its destination after it leaves our warehouse. Not the the time it will take from the moment you place the order.

Need your package faster?

Below are the faster shipping options we offer. They are only available for orders going to UPS deliverable addresses in the contiguous 48 states.

When you select one of the faster shipping options, we will flag your order for immediate processing. And provided everything is in stock (and there are no other issues) your order will get processed and shipped in approximately one business day!

We must caution you, our fees for this service are high. Unlike other companies, we don't simply ship a package 3 Day, 2 Day or Next Day, we actually stop everything to ship your package out via the requested service within approximately one business day.

Many other companies may give you the same UPS service, but they don't rush the order through their system like we do. If their processing time is 3 days, your order ships in three days even if you request 1 Day service.

But at Live And Learn, we make our data input operators process an expedited order immediately, our order pickers interrupt their workflow to pull your order as soon as they receive it, and our shipping department drops everything to pack, weigh and ship your package for our next dispatch! 

We are glad to do this for you, provided you agree to our terms and prices.

The most popular choice for expedited shipping (and least expensive) is our "Rush Order In-House" service. We process your order right away and push it through the system, but the package still ships via regular UPS service. 

We are going to be honest with you. With the exception of the "Rush In-House" option, the fee you pay is a shipping and handling fee. Rates are not only based on the destination, weight and box dimensions of the order, but also on the complexity of the order and the time involved to process the order. The "Rush In-House" fee is strictly a flat handling fee which is added to the normal shipping fee of your order.

Please understand, we do not guarantee any of the services. We simply guarantee to expedite your order in-house, and then to ship it via the requested service. It is up to UPS to get the package to you timely.

Although it does not happen often, packages do get misrouted for various reasons and delivery is delayed.  No organization is perfect...not Live And Learn and not UPS. Thus, by placing an order you are agreeing not to hold us liable if the package does not arrive by the date you expect, whether it is Live And Learn's fault, the carrier's fault, or for some other reason regardless of the method the package is shipped, or the amount paid for the service.

Our only commitment is to ship the package timely by the agreed upon service.

If we haven't scared you off yet, below are the various options we offer and their fees!


RUSH ORDER IN-HOUSE
When we rush an order in-house we push the order through our system quickly and cut the in-house processing time to approximately 1 business day. We still ship the order via regular UPS Ground service, but it will get out of our door faster. This option is great if you are in a 1 day, 2 day or 3 day zone (see map above) and want the order pulled, packed, and shipped out right away so you can have the package within a few business days, or if you are in a 4 day, 5 day or 6 day zone (see map above) and and must have the order at your door in about a week.

The fee for this service is $7.95 in addition to the normal shipping fee for your order. 

The shopping cart does not add the fee to your online or email total. We will send you an adjusted invoice when your order ships!

RUSH WITH 3 DAY SERVICE
When we rush an order with UPS 3 Day Select Service we push the order through our system and cut the in-house processing time to approximately 1 business day. And then, we ship the package via UPS 3 Day Service.

Your order will get out of our door quicker, and will be scheduled to arrive within 3 business days after shipment. This option is great if you are in the western half of the United States and need your order in less than a week.

People in a 1 day, 2 day or 3 day zone (see map above) can expect the same delivery time frame simply by choosing the previous "Rush In-House" service.

Our minimum fee for 3 day service is $20.00, but it could cost more!

Since every order we ship is different, and going to different locations, we have no way of knowing in advance how much the fee will actually be.

For instance, a Jack In The Box to Washington state would be covered by the $20.00 minimum fee, but a half dozen wooden puzzles would cost $28.00 to Washington state.

Therefore, when you choose this option you are telling us that you know the cost will be at least $20.00, and that you are willing to spend up to $30.00 if that's what it takes to get the service.

If  the fee is more than $30.00 we will contact you via email or phone for further approval before shipping your order. If the fee is $30.00 or less, the order will ship without us contacting you!

The shopping cart does not add the fee to your online or email total. We will send you an adjusted invoice when your order ships!

RUSH WITH 2 DAY SERVICE
When we rush an order with UPS 2 Day Service we push the order through our system and cut the in-house processing time to approximately 1 business day. And then, we ship the package via UPS 2 Day Service. Your order will get out of our door quicker, and will be scheduled to arrive within 2 business days after shipment. This option is great if you need your order in a few days and are in a 3 day, 4 day, 5 day or 6 day zone (see map above).

Our minimum fee for this service is $25.00, but it could cost more!

Since every order we ship is different, and going to different locations, we have no way of knowing in advance how much the fee will actually be.

For instance, a Jack In The Box to Washington state would be covered by the $25.00 minimum, but a half dozen wooden puzzles to Washington state would cost $37.00.

Therefore, when you choose this option you are telling us that you know the cost will be at least $25.00, and that you are willing to spend up to $40.00 if that's what it takes to get the service.

If  the fee is more than $40.00 we will contact you via email or phone for further approval before shipping your order. If the fee is $40.00 or less, the order will ship without us contacting you!

The shopping cart does not add the fee to your online or email total. We will send you an adjusted invoice when your order ships!

RUSH WITH 1 DAY SERVICE
When we rush an order with UPS 1 Day Service (Next Day Air Saver) we push the order through our system and cut the in-house processing time to approximately 1 business day. And then, we ship the package via UPS Next Day Air Saver Service. Your order will get out of our door quicker, and will be scheduled to arrive within 1 business days after shipment.

This option is great when you need your package as quickly as possible, no matter where you are in the United States. But if you live in a 1 day zone (see map above) our "Rush In-House" service will get the package there just as quick.

This service is very costly. Although our minimum fee for this service is $35.00, it will probably cost more!

Since every order we ship is different, and going to different locations, we have no way of knowing in advance how much the fee will actually be.

For instance, not even a Jack In The Box to Washington state would be covered by the $35.00 minimum (it would cost $40.00), and a half dozen wooden puzzles to Washington state would cost $65.00.

Therefore, when you choose this option you are telling us that you know the cost will be at least $35.00, and that you are willing to spend up to $75.00 if that's what it takes to get the service.

If  the fee is more than $75.00 we will contact you via email or phone for further approval before shipping your order. If the fee is $75.00 or less, the order will ship without contacting you!

The shopping cart does not add the fee to your online or email total. We will send you an adjusted invoice when your order ships!
