STANDARD SHIPPING
  1. Catalog quantity orders will ship Quick BIC PlusSM via 2-day air service at ground rates unless another carrier is specified on your purchase order. Please specify "GROUND" service if you do not want your packages to ship Quick BIC PlusSM. Rates are calculated on a per-carton basis. Over catalog quantity orders ship via Best Available Carrier unless otherwise specified.
  2. Quick BIC PlusSM rates apply to catalog quantities and standard packaging as shown in our 2008 Catalog for shipments to continental United States destinations only.
  3. BIC Sticky Note Cube, BIC Notebook, BIC Desk Caddies, Solis by BIC Drinkware products, BIC Promotional Variety Pack and Atchison by BIC orders will default to ground shipping (not 2-Day Quick BIC PlusSM) unless otherwise specified. 2-day air service is also available at standard published rates, not Quick BIC PlusSM rates. Can Coolers and all Atchison by BIC products will ship ground from Kansas. Solis by BIC Key Rings and Y124 include free expedited shipping from Mexico.
  4. Since BIC Magnet and BIC Sticky Note products are heavy, selecting "Ground" Shipment on your P.O. may reduce shipping costs. Costs will be calculated on the total weight of your order vs. on a per carton basis.
  5. Ground and Air Parcel Service Rates are subject to change without notice. Due to fluctuations in fuel prices, if surcharges are incurred, these will be added to the existing freight charge.
  6. BIC Graphic USA reserves the right to change carrier and service level without notice.
  7. If applicable, a third party billing handling charge of $5.00 will be added to invoice.
  8. Up to 20 drop shipment locations are available at no charge and then a $3.00(Z) fee per location will apply. Catalog minimum quantity is required per address.
  9. All orders over 60 boxes, 24 boxes for drinkware and special pack orders, will default to truck shipment. This is to ensure delivery integrity of our customers’ orders. No extra charge for inside delivery on truck orders.
