The items that we sell at the KnifeCenter are relatively high in value and vary greatly in weight. We calculate shipping charges based mostly on the weight and distance and not on the value of the item. Our intent is to charge you about what it costs us to ship it and we have set up this page to help you in determining the approximate costs. SEE OUR RETURN POLICY HERE

OUR SHIPPING SYSTEM IN A NUTSHELL: Most packages within the US go for a total of $6.95 and get there within 2 to 4 days. European and Asian packages have been averaging about 7 days in transit. The Expressmail service, although it costs more than standard international postal shipments, is a great value- each package is traceable, insured and gets to you quickly. Customs is much easier and often cheaper. If you have further questions, please give us a call at 800 338 6799 or 301 486 0901 and we will be glad to help you. To Find Out About Returns: Click HERE
