Thank you for shopping with us today! 

Shipping Guidelines for Rough Material
We will package the rough material in the most economical way possible.  This usually will be FLAT RATE options by USPS for $8.95 per box - anywhere in the U.S.  If you have a request for another shipping option, please CALL 800-821-RUBY for an alternative shipping quote.

EITHER WAY, the shipping costs will be added to your bill once the order is packaged.
