International Shipping Policies

To place an International order:
If you live outside the US, Canada or Puerto Rico, and wish to place an order, you may either submit an order through our online ordering shopping cart, or email export@npdlink.com, or phone our Foreign Order desk at 352-861-8700, Monday through Friday, between the hours of 8:00 am to 5:00 pm eastern standard time. Due to the dynamic nature of international commerce, our shipping methods and rates, as well as estimated delivery times, must be quoted on an individual basis. No matter which method you use to submit an order, you will be contacted by our Export Department to assist you through the process.

Orders may be paid by VISA, MasterCard, Discover, American Express and Western Union Quick Collect. Fund Wire Transfers may be arranged.

If you do not have a recent catalog, please follow the online Catalog Request link, and we will promptly send you our current edition free of charge.

Orders destined for Canada:
Add 20% for shipping but not less than $15.00 for minimum shipping. Oversized items will be subject to an additional $14.00 per item. The $300.00 free shipping policy does not apply. US funds only.

International Backorders:
Ordinarily, we ship every international order complete, since shipping a backordered item overseas is very costly. Unless you instruct us to do otherwise, your entire order will be held until any backordered item is also ready to ship. If this is unacceptable, please advise your salesperson at the time of the order so alternative arrangements may be made.
