What shipping services do you offer?

We typically use UPS and FedEx to ship both domestically and internationally. We offer all shipping services that are available through UPS.

Such services may include:

  • Ground - delivery varies based on location
  • 3 Day - Delivery guaranteed by the carrier by end of day -- 3 business days (or less) after shipping
  • 2nd Day Air - Delivery guaranteed by the carrier by end of day -- two business days after shipping
  • Next Day Air Saver - Delivery guaranteed by the carrier by end of day -- one business day after shipping
  • Next Day Air - Delivery guaranteed by the carrier by 10:30 AM -- one business day after shipping


When you provide your shipping address, please make sure that it is a physical address (we cannot deliver to a Post Office box) and that it is a valid shipping address. Include a phone number where you can be reached during the day in case there is a delivery problem. Some of the above-listed delivery services may not be available to some domestic destinations.

All shipping charges are estimates and typically represent the actual final shipping charge. However, if the actual shipping charge is significantly greater than the estimated charge, we will increase the shipping charge and contact you before shipping the order for your approval. We will not ship the order without your consent to the increased shipping charge.

All shipping charges are subject to change without prior notice.

KVMGalore reserves the right to choose a shipping carrier (FedEx or UPS) for each order as it sees fit. When shipping an order that was placed with 'Free shipping', KVMGalore also reserves the right to use any shipping carrier other than FedEx and UPS.

Do you ship internationally?
Yes.

When shipping overseas, you may find that FedEx/UPS shipping charges are quite expensive. To alleviate the high cost of overseas shipment you may want to consider the following options:
1) Provide us with a UPS or FedEx shipping label and arrange for a pickup (these options are offered to you as you place your order online)
2) Provide us with a DHL shipping label and Airway Bill, and arrange for a pickup (this option is also offered to you as you place your order online)
3) Use a U.S.-based freight forwarder. Such a service may significantly reduce your overseas shipping cost, and - since we will be shipping domestically to your freight forwarder - you may even qualify for our free Ground shipping.
