We Are Changing The Way You Buy Your Woodturning Supplies.
We understand that shipping is a consideration in making a purchase.
Our fully computerized warehouse and inventory system allows us to process your orders quickly and efficiently. Most orders are picked and packed within hours of being received. Orders fulfilled from our warehouse will ship the same day when placed by 1pm EST.
We offer Standard Shipping for FREE on most orders over $50.00 and for a flat rate of only $4.95 on orders less than $50.
You can upgrade your shipping method to Two Day Shipping for most standard size items under 10 lbs. That includes pen kits, most turning tools, lathe accessories and more. Two Day Shipping is only $9.95 for qualifying orders below $100 and $4.95 for orders over $100.
Shipping Policy
We would love to offer free shipping for all of our products, due to the variety in products sizes and weights, that is impossible.
