The policy simply stated:
The flat rate charge for shipping, handling, and insurance will be $ 61.00
for shipment by UPS or FedEx (selected by SPI Supplies) to all destinations
in Denmark, irrespective of the shipment's weight or commercial value.
There could also be included anything that is designated on the SPI
Supplies website as being 
.
But excluded would be any shipment that
contains any product(s) designated as being Dangerous Goods.
This means that an order that consists of some
tweezers,
TEM grids,
Parafilm®,
and some embedding molds, which even could include items
designated as ,
could ship under the flat rate program from SPI
Supplies in the USA to any business address in Denmark (see important
exception below). But if your order contains as much as a single item (for
example, an SPI OK Easy Duster™), then it could not be shipped under this
program and would probably have to go via air freight.
However, such shipments would be subject to the special packaging charge,
to the degree necessary, to cover the
cost of the special packaging that makes possible the lower cost shipment.
And of course, such shipments would be subject to
the special "cold ship" charges should the shipment include a product that
is to be shipped refrigerated.
Exceptions:
Keep in mind the following exceptions to the above policy statement:
- Shipments containing dangerous goods that are not described as
are not covered by this program.
- Addresses not considered to be bona fide business addresses by the
carrier (e. g. FedEx or UPS) are subject to a residential address fee.
- The final arbiter as to whether an address is or is not a residential
address is the carrier, that is, UPS or FedEx. Generally speaking, if one
has sleeping accommodations at the address, or if the property is not
zoned for commercial use, the carrier designates such an address as a
"residential" address.
The benefit to the customer:
Customers of SPI Supplies in Denmark are able to estimate almost to the
penny the actual credit card amount that will be charged to their
credit card for a credit card purchase even if ordering from Denmark.
There is no need to waste time getting a "quote" since
all of the information necessary to calculate a total CIF amount will be
available to the customer at the time the order is placed.
So just decide what you want to order, the fob prices are on the website,
add $61.00 and that is the total price to you (except of
course for European Union customs duties, VAT, and any other local taxes, if
applicable, are paid on the buyer's end.
