Online Enterprises / AMAS Sports is dedicated to providing our customers with the best prices on all of our products and services, this includes shipping and handling. Due to the weight of the Ironwear Weighted Vest, this product is shipped directly from the manufacturer. This saves you, the customer, on the overall cost of the unit, since we don't have to pay shipping fees to get the product to our warehouse. However, since shipping occurs from the manufacturer's location, we do not have access to exact shipping costs until several days after the product has shipped. Because of this, we charge our customers an estimated shipping fee. This is calculated by using our base shipping rate of $10.50 and adding $5 for the weighted vest and an additional $2.50 for each set of additional weights. In most instances, this shipping fee is accurate and does not change, but in some cases there may be additional shipping charges, which will be added when we receive confirmation from the manufacturer. If you would like an exact quote, please call our customer service line at (520) 668-0284.
