Shipping & Sales Tax Policy

Shipping Policy

United States Delivery

New rates and options:

USPS First Class - $7 flat rate: Delivers in 1 - 7 business days but could be longer.

USPS Priority - $11 flat rate

UPS Ground - $11 flat rate

Orders $75 and over ship free in the United States via USPS Priority.  You have the option to choose UPS Ground for a delivery option for the standard flat rate.

International Delivery

**Most shipments are not affected by tariffs. Please verify before placing an order as this could change before I can update this note. Items are shipped as "Merchandise", which could be subject to customs fees as well.

International postage and exchange rates change frequently. International shipping costs at checkout are our best estimate at this time, however we may need to contact you if actual shipping costs far exceed the amount paid.

When shipping, if the actual cost is significantly lower than what was paid, we will issue a partial refund on shipping charges.  Our goal is not to make money on shipping but to only cover the costs of the parcel carrier and the shipping supplies.

We will ship with the most economical costs option available.  USPS International Economy is the standard and may take 1-4 weeks. If you would like expedited shipping, please contact us after placing your order and we can provide options for you and if agreed, an adjusted cost invoice.

Please check your country's tariff policy on product from the United States.  We use Harmonized Code HS 4816.90.0100.  Model Truckers LLC does not pay tariffs, duties, or customs fees.  Those are the responsibility of the buyer. If your order is returned for not paying any imposed duties/tariff, we cannot refund your order.

Order Processing

Orders typically ship on Mondays, but may ship any day of the week.  Our goal is to ship your order as soon as possible, but please have patience as there can be delays occasionally.  Large orders take longer to prepare and may be delayed past the next Monday.  If your order will not ship quickly, we will reach out to you with updates.  Please contact us with any questions through the contact page, link above.

Please check your spam folder for an email from us as we sometimes end up there.

Taxes:

Indiana Sales tax of 7% will be charged to all orders delivered to Indiana. Orders delivered outside of the state of Indiana will not be charged sales tax.  Please note, as of January 1, 2025, if you use the Shop Pay app to pay, Shopify will charge your state sales tax and remit, Model Truckers does not collect those taxes.
