 Question
Can you offer both USPS and UPS so we can compare the costs?

 Response From Sprue Brothers Models LLC
Unforuntately no. We are not allowed (by both the USPS and UPS) to show their rates "side by side." Thus we were forced to choose one or the other.

As a result, the website is programmed to use USPS for parcels that the website estimates will weigh 2 pounds or less, while UPS is used for parcels expected to weigh over 2 pounds. This will results in the more cost effective shipper for the majority of the orders.

However, if you have a residential and rural (as defined by UPS) address with a parcel weighing between 2 to 4 pounds, USPS may be a most cost effective shipper. We do manually review each order and will change to USPS (if it is better) at the time your order is processed. The shipping cost will be adjusted as well.
