My shipment weighed only 15 lbs but I was billed for 90lb shipment ?

Your shipment was oversized per UPS standards, all oversized boxes are shipped at a minimum of 90lbs regardless of actual weight. Oversized boxes are needed to pack some of our larger plastic items and most of our bulk items.  We are always looking for ways to reduce the box size required to avoid use of oversized boxes.

How often do items get back ordered, and how will I know if an item I purchase is put on back order?

Back orders are rare, but if a requested item is put on back order, we try to contact our customers as soon as possible via e-mail. We cannot necessarily guarantee any ship dates at that time, but we will try to give you an accurate estimated arrival date.

Note that if you order several items and only one item is on backorder, a partial shipment will often be sent as a courtesy if you are located in the US or Canada. The backordered item will be forwarded to you automaticallty when it is received into stock.

Will my bottles be sterile when I receive them?

Most bottles are clean and come packed in plastic
bags, but are not sterile.   Any item that is sterile, will be indicated
in the item description.  For more information about cleaning and sterilizing your bottles click here.
