International Orders - International orders have proven to be a difficult subject. Unfortunately, too many people have asked us to research shipping methods, only to decline the order because of the cost of international shipping. Regular US Mail is unreliable and untraceable and so we will only use FedEx or comparable methods that cost much more. We have also found it is not possible to verify credit cards from outside the United States, and that no avenues exist to pursue payment in the case of fraud.
It is with some regret that we therefore will decline to pursue most international orders.
If you are seriously interested in making a purchase for International delivery then please email us at sales@akmining.com. But only do so knowing that we will not accept credit cards for these orders, and that we will not ship via regular US Mail. We will require payment via Electronic Funds Transfer and generally ship only via FedEx or UPS as these methods can be tracked. You may research FedEx shipping costs at http://www.fedex.com Our zip code is 99501. Another option is UPS Worldwide Expedited. You can check UPS rates online at http://www.ups.comIt would not be unusual for the rate on a small box weighing 10 pounds to be over US$100.00 via FedEx or UPS.
Sincerely,
Steve Herschbach, Vice President Alaska Mining & Diving Supply, Inc.
