(Note: FedEx has announced their HAZMAT fee will go up to $25.00 effective January 4, 2010.)
HAZMAT fee for all orders containing ANY motors you want shipped faster by FedEx Ground. Larger motors and items marked HAZMAT that MUST be shipped HAZMAT will automatically have this fee added at checkout time. Only add this to your cart if you have motors that can be shipped Parcel Post that you would like to have shipped by the quicker FedEx Ground rather than Parcel Post.
Many smaller motors (under 30 grams of propellant each or containing under 30 grams per reload module each) are shipped Parcel Post (also a ground service, but much slower) with no HAZMAT fee! (Parcel Post-shippable motors have no HAZMAT or HAZ indication in the product title or description. We ship these motors Parcel Post unless you add this HAZMAT option to get those motors shipped faster via FedEx Ground).
So add this fee for any motors (not marked HAZMAT, or in other words Parcel Post shippable) that you would like shipped by faster FedEx Ground. Add this item to your order when ordering ANY motors that you want to be shipped FedEx that are not flagged as HAZMAT.
Motors that are marked HAZMAT or HAZ in the Online Store cannot be shipped Parcel Post and MUST be shipped FedEx Ground HAZMAT, and the HAZMAT fee of $25.00 will be added to your order automatically at checkout time.
If your order contains any motors or items marked HAZMAT or HAZ that must be shipped FedEx HAZMAT, the FedEx $25.00 HAZMAT fee will be automatically added to your order at checkout time. This is a handling fee for hazardous materials that is imposed for shipping HAZMAT by FedEx Ground. This does not cover addtional expensive UN-specification packaging that must be used to ship this way, so if you can wait and your non-hazmat motors can go via Parcel Post, that is the preferred way as it will help us to keep costs down and keep us from having to impose a surcharge of our own for the cost of special UN4G packaging...
Note that all FedEx Hazmat shipments require an adult signature at time of delivery. FedEx will make several delivery attempts, but without a signature, the product will be returned to us and the FedEx Shipping and HAZMAT handling fee is non-refundable. Also, make sure that any hazardous items that you order are exactly what you want, as, due to federal shipping regulations, it is nearly impossible for consumers to ship hazardous materials back and we cannot issue refunds on hazardous items ordered in error. So please double-check your motor orders.
