Some methods that fall under Economy do not have active tracking. Economy shipping is not available for Vaccine orders or orders shipped outside the contiguous US. Freight charges, additional charges, hazardous fees, COD charge, pack & weigh charges, and expedited vaccine shipping charges are separate and still apply.

     

IMPORTANT:

Large purchase quantities of certain items may result in additional shipping/freight charges. You will be notified as soon as possible if additional shipping applies. Your order will not ship until all charges are paid.

Please make other special requests for shipping options in the Comments box at the end of checkout. If you request express shipping for non-vaccine items, your order must be packed and weighed before a shipping cost is determined and the quote will be e-mailed to you. Your order will not ship until you approve the extra charges.

 



Freight Charges (FOB)

LVS assesses a freight charge (FOB) on items that are overweight, over-sized, and/or difficult to ship. Your FOB charges will be determined by the actual and dimensional weight of the item and your ship-to zip code. If you purchase an item that is assessed a freight charge, your on-screen order total will reflect this additional charge. Charges are listed under Shipping on the checkout page, if applicable. 

 


Hazardous Charges

Some items carry Hazardous Shipping Charges for shipment, noted as "Hazardous Charges Apply".  This is usually a flat rate per item or group of items.  Hazardous items must be signed for upon delivery. Charges are listed under Shipping on the checkout page, if applicable.

 


 

Additional Handling Charges

Some items require additional handling charges for shipment. If an additional handling charge applies, it will be noted in the product description for an item. Additional handling charges are usually a flat rate per item or group of items.  Charges are listed under Shipping on the checkout page, if applicable.

Vaccines

Biologicals (like vaccines) are shipped Monday through Thursday in a padded envelope with ice packs. Only vaccines shipped Next Day Air will ship on Thursday. We strongly recommend, (if you are not in a one day ship zone) Next Day Air and an insulated container. We ship (vaccines ONLY) Next Day Air for $22.95 and Second Day Air for $18.95. If you are in a two day zone, you still have the Next Day option. 

When ordering vaccines and biologicals, you will have three choices of shipping method (Step 2 of checkout): Next Day, Second Day, or Standard Ground. Next Day Air is the default method selected. 

All manufacturers of vaccines strongly recommend at least Second Day Air shipping and in the spring/summer months, we encourage Next Day Air to protect your investment. 

 

All vaccines are non-returnable and non-refundable. 

 

If you choose Standard Ground shipping, you assume responsibility for any consequences including warm vaccines.   We strongly recommend Next Day Air for shipments going further than a 1 day transit. Please see the transit map (link below) for approximate shipping time (use map for "Standard Shipping" when referring to vaccine/biological shipping).

 


Areas in Pink are standard overnight shipping.

Service charges still apply. Expedited orders (shipped via air) with a mixture of biological and non-biological items will be separated into two orders with only biologicals shipping expedited.

If you are purchasing more than $250.00 worth of vaccines Next Day Air is FREE. 

An insulated container (cooler) is available for an additional cost with all vaccine purchases.

 

Shipping Vaccines

If you place a vaccine order Friday - Sunday, your order will be shipped on Monday. Vaccine orders purchased on Thursday before 4:00 PM Central will ship same day if Next Day Air is purchased, otherwise it will ship the following Monday. Non-vaccine orders placed on Friday before 4:00 PM Central will be shipped normally. For more details, see Vaccine Shipping Schedule.
