What Does Free Shipping Mean to Imaging Spectrum Customers?

The term Free Shipping is used a lot these days but it means different things to different suppliers. Some of our competitors offer free shipping; however, it is VERY different than the free shipping you receive from Imaging Spectrum.

In most cases, our competitors’ free shipping method is a 5-7 day delivery time and is typically fulfilled by the United States Postal Service.  As a customer, if you choose UPS Ground from our competitors, you usually have to pay an extra charge for the shipping.  Our shipping is via UPS Ground which is 100% track-able and offers a guaranteed delivery date.  Our competitors’ free shipping is not guaranteed on a certain date, and is not easily track-able, so you never really know when you will receive your order.

Imaging Spectrum’s Free Shipping (for orders over $100 to the continental US):

• Shipped via UPS Ground (Same day if in stock and ordered by 3pm CST)
• Very reliable
• Track-able
• Guaranteed Delivery Date
• Tracking information sent via email

Competitors’ Free Shipping:

• USPS
• No Reliable Tracking
• No Guaranteed Delivery Date

Here is an actual example: 

Order 2 cases of HiTi 4×6 media from Imaging Spectrum – $198 + Free shipping = $198

Order 2 cases of HiTi 4×6 media from New York and choose UPS Ground as the shipping method – $198 + $30.34 shipping = $228.34

You would save $30 in this example by ordering from Imaging Spectrum.
