The policy simply stated:
The flat rate charge for shipping, handling, and insurance will be $ 99.00
for shipment by UPS or FedEx (selected by SPI Supplies) to all destinations
in Poland, irrespective of the shipment's weight or commercial value. But
excluded would be any shipment that contains any product(s) designated as
being Dangerous Goods. This would also mean that we can not ship under
this flat rate program any product identified as being 
.
This means that an order that consists of some
tweezers,
TEM grids,
Parafilm®,
and some embedding molds, could ship under the flat rate program
from SPI Supplies in the USA to any business address in Poland (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.
Note that we can not ship under this program to addresses in Poland any dangerous goods products
designed as being .
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 Poland 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 Poland. 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 $99.00 and that is the total price to you (except of
course for customs duties, VAT, and any other local taxes, if
applicable, that are traditionally paid on the buyer's end.
Don't forget the option to "buy locally" in Poland:
