We do not list the full value of the shipment to save customer import taxes. Please let us know if you would like the full invoice total listed on the commercial invoice.

will email tracking information to the contact person listed on the order. Please track your package carefully. The UNC Vector Core is not responsible for the package once it leaves our facility. If FedEx or customs cause a delivery delay, the only refund we receive is for the freight, not the value of the package contents. If you would like insurance for the full value of the shipment, please let us know upon ordering. We will obtain a quote from FedEx and add the insurance fees to your invoice.

If you prefer World Courier, please let us know upon ordering. You may either provide your own World Courier account and will only be charged by us for the handling and materials ($25), or we can use our account and adjust the shipping fee accordingly.
