FREE SHIPPING?
Free shipping does not exist. If a mosaic tile retailer is offering “free shipping,” they have inflated their prices so that you still pay for this phony discount. Instead of “free shipping,” we offer Priority Mail Flat-Rate boxes, the best shipping value on the Internet. These boxes are cheaper and faster than UPS Ground or FedEx Ground.
HONEST PRICING AT MOSAIC ART SUPPLY
We do not offer “free shipping.” No one does, not really. If you doubt this, simply compare the TOTAL cost of your order. Compare the quality of goods. We don’t inflate our prices to offer fake discounts.
THE CHEAPEST SHIPPING AVAILABLE FOR MOSAIC TILE
The cheapest shipping available for heavy products like mosaic tile is Priority Mail Flat-Rate. They are usually faster than UPS or Fedx ground services, especially when shipping to the West Coast, Alaska, or Hawaii.
Our new software automatically calculates the weight and size of your order and determines the cheapest shipping option for you during checkout. It will also offer alternative shipping options such as UPS Next-Day Air that you can select for rush orders. However, the cheapest option will usually be USPS Flat-Rate Priority Mail shipping.
