Our Current PRIMARY EXPRESS carrier is Federal Express and the domestic Express (in the USA) shipping charge shown is for pkgs under 8 ounces.

*If your package is over 8 ounces (3 pieces more more) the express cost will increase proportionate to the increase in weight.
-------e.g. from the basic $25 charge for 1-2 pieces to $40 for 3-6 pieces.

Please note: Standard US Mail shipping is FREE in the USA no matter how many pieces are in your order (books and tapes are the exception to this)

Please call if this is a concern. We cannot advise the weight until your order is weighed and processed.  Your confirmation will show the total amount of your invoice.

"Express" orders may be shipped via either

Federal Express, Airborne Express, or First Class Mail International Via US Postal Service (for Spain).

Athena will confirm which express shipper was used for your order in an email reply to the email address you provide with this order.

Because of frequently changing shipping rates, Athena chooses the carrier that can provide the best value to your given location.

If you do not want to use one of these carriers, send a note in the comments section not to use the shipper that you dislike, and we will send your order standard delivery instead, adjusting your shipping costs accordingly.
