Shipping Information

WireFenceOnline's shipping policies

We are aware of the escalation in shipping costs, mostly due to the rising fuel surcharge added to every trucking invoice. To save you money, we will compare costs from the different carriers that give us discounts. We will ship your order the least expensive way. No final transactions will be made without your approval.

Due to the characteristics of the products we sell (size and weight), your shipping charges cannot be calculated until we know the exact items and quantities you want to order. You must contact us for the shipping charges before placing your order. We will quote you the best possible rate. Then you can add that amount to the order form and complete your transaction.

We make every effort to ship within 24 hours of receipt of order. You will be notified if this is not possible.
