About Transportation Charges.
When goods are to be shipped by parcel post, it is not necessary to send stamps to pay the postage for shipping package. Simply add the amount for charges to the amount of the merchandise and include in the money order, check or currency you send us. This charge for mailing must be paid in advance, as no provision has been made for the collection of mailing charge on delivery.
When goods are to be shipped by freight or express and there is no freight or express agent at your shipping point, you must send money to prepay the transportation charges. If there is an agent you can pay the transportation charges when shipment reaches you. It is only necessary to prepay freight or express charges when there is no agent at your station.
Throughout this catalog you will find the shipping weight is given in the description of merchandise. Occasionally, according to the nature of the merchandise, we are obliged to give the actual weight. In such cases a few ounces extra in weight must be allowed for wrapping and packing, according to the nature of the goods.
