Hazardous Materials (Hazmat) Shipping Charges
Be aware, if you order hazardous materials, you may be required to pay an additional fee.

Will you ship hazardous material packages to international destinations?
No.

Do you ship hazardous material packages to all US states and provinces?
No. Due to California's state regulation, we can not ship hazard material and other specified items to that state.

How does this affect me?
If you order an item that is classified as Hazardous material you may receive an accessorial charge from the company handling the freight or packages.

Who receives the extra charge?
The shipping company that imposes the charge receives the money. Zack White Leather Co. acts as the shipper and does not receive any of this charge.

Can I ship all of my hazmat items in one box?
We combine products as much as possible. Zack White Leather Co. does everything possible to limit the costs of shipping hazardous materials.
