Shipping information

I have been receiving mirrors for coating by UPS and by U. S. mail. This has worked well with no breakage or damage. UPS wants mirrors double boxed. Wrap the mirror in an old towel and put in a brown sack. Tape up the sack with wrapping tape. Place the inner package in a larger cardboard box padding with wadded newspapers or bubble wrap or Styrofoam popcorn. I will not handle shipping insurance claims if the mirror was not wrapped properly. Mirrors have been taking five days from Oregon to San Carlos, CA and costing about $8 for UPS ( ground ) shipping. Turn around time here has been averaging four days or less. I have been asking $7 per package to rewrap and deliver the packages to the UPS office. I will mail a letter after shipping to verify shipment. There is no UPS ground available from Hawaii so U. S. Mail service may be less expensive from Hawaii. When you ship the mirror you will know the shipping price. Mail me a letter if you want me to know the mirror is on its way. In the letter include coating fee, UPS charge for return, plus $7.

Additional Information

We coat mirrors up to 20 inch in diameter. We have adapters for coating various sizes of mirrors. We have two double mirror holders. One holder is zero to 10 inch and zero to 8 inch. Another holder is zero to 9 1/2 inch and zero to 8 1/2 inch. We also have multi holders for 4 1/4 inch and 6 inch mirrors. If you can ship two 6 inch mirrors together you will save on the coating cost and save $7 since I will make only one delivery trip.
