Mountains Plus offers plenty of shipping options, but it’s not always easy to know which one is right for your order.  Based on customer feedback, I thought it would be a great idea to outline the different shipping options available at MPGEAR

7-10 day Free Economy Shipping:

I’m sure it goes without saying, but this is our most popular shipping option. All orders of $45 dollars or more, shipping within the contiguous United State are eligible for our “free economy shipping”.  While we do like to exceed customer expectations when it comes to delivery time, this is a 7-10 day service.  So, this isn’t the option to pick when you are in a hurry.

UPS GROUND:

We’re proud to offer UPS ground for an affordable cost of $7.50. Choosing this option guarantees delivery of your order within five business days! UPS Ground is delivery time is dependent on how far your shipping address is from our warehouse in Mercer Island, WA. So, use the map below to determine if selecting UPS ground is right for you! 

I’m working on convincing our warehouse manager, Jason, to move himself (and all of our inventory) to Nebraska. If we convince him to do this, it would mean UPS ground would reach all of our customers within 2-3 days!

Please weigh in on whether or not Jason should move to Nebraska below:

UPS Express Services:

Sometimes your back is against the wall, and you need a to get your hands on a product FAST.  So, we offer three different express shipping within the contiguous United States. Please take a look at the tables below for pricing.

*Keep in mind there are some products that we are unable to ship express. These exceptions will be noted on product pages*

UPS 3-Day Express

UPS 2^nd Day Air

UPS Next Day Air

USPS Global Priority Mail:

We do ship certain products internationally, and all of our international shipments are sent via USPS Global Priority Mail. Normally international shipments take about 7-10 days to reach their destination country. Of course, predicting how long it takes for an order to clear customs is tricky.

We recommend that customers contact their countries customs office if they have any questions about duty fees or any other import questions.

Here is a breakdown of shipping prices for international shipments:

Yamato Transport:

For Japanese orders, we’re happy to offer Yamato Transport as one of our shipping options. Orders placed with Yamato normally take just 2 days to arrive in Japan!

I hope this has helped to answer any shipping questions you may have. Of course, if you ever have any questions regarding shipping, don’t hesitate to contact our customer service team at by phone, email, or live chat!
