AP Essentials Shipping Methods:
Your order usually ships no later than the next business day after it is placed. We do not ship on weekends or holidays. If an item is on backorder, we will contact you by e-mail or telephone to let you know the expected shipping date.

Delivery times will vary based on the method of shipment you choose and your location. Shipping costs vary depending on the total value of your order, shipping method selected, and your location. Our shipping methods include a free delivery once every Thursday to AP NY-HDQ for staff only, DHL, UPS and USPS.

When you check out, you will be prompted to choose a shipping method. Your shipping charges will be automatically calculated during checkout prior to the completion of your order.

Generally, you may upgrade your shipping method for faster delivery (such as 3-Day, 2nd Day, or Overnight service). If you upgrade your shipping method, your order must be received and your credit card authorized by 1:00 pm EST or your order may not be processed until the following business day.

• DHL or UPS Standard Ground - Most items can be shipped to addresses in the 48 contiguous United States via Standard Ground service. You can generally expect your order to arrive within 3 to 8 business days. For the best rate, we recommend selecting DHL or UPS Ground service when shipping to the contiguous United States.
• DHL or UPS 3 Day Air - 3-Day shipments will ship the same day if the order is received prior to 1:00 pm EST. You can expect to receive your 3-Day shipment within 3 to 5 business days of placing your order. We cannot ship 3-Day shipments to PO Boxes or APO/FPO addresses.
• DHL or UPS 2nd Day Air - 2nd Day Air shipments will ship the same day if the order is received prior to 1:00 pm EST. You can expect to receive your 2nd Day Air shipment within 2 to 3 business days of placing your order. We cannot ship 2nd Day Air to PO Boxes or APO/FPO addresses.
