One-step home delivery rates-no guesswork!
Prices in this catalog do not include charges for shipping and handling to
your home or to our Store unless otherwise stated. For as little as $1.35 and
for no more than $5.00, you can have your mailable purchases delivered
to
your home, to a friend 's, even to your office regardless of the total dollar
value and shipping weight of your mailable items'
MAILABLE I'PEMS are usually small and lightweight. They can be shipped
almost anywhere in the United States via UPS (United Parcel Service) or
USPS (United States Postal Service). An item is mailable if there is not an
"R", "F" or "Y" at the end of the catalog number (alone or in combination
with other letters). Add up the individual selling prices of all the mailable
items in your order and find the corresponding charge in the table below.

Delivery time information
In most cases, we process and ship an order within 24 hours after we re–
ceive the order. Some items are transferred from another Merchandise Dis–
tribution Center and may require a longer delivery time than normal. In such
cases, we specify the approximate amount of time it will take for delivery on
the page where we sell the item. We'll make every effort to deliver your
purchase within the stated time, but sometimes it may require up to 30
days for shipment.
Home delivery and handling charges for mailable and non-mailable items
are figured separately. The rate schedules below are based on a composite
of all orders processed through our nationwide Distribution Centers and
apply the current UPS, USPS and freight rates for delivery within the con–
tinental United States and to APO/FPO locations.
NON-MAILABLE ITEMS are usually heavy and/or bulky and usually shipped
via public (non-Montgomery Ward) truck lines. Some public truck lines
will not make delivery inside your home but rather, at a point near your
home such as at the curb or the driveway. An item is non-mailable if the
catalog number ends with an "R", "F" or "Y" (alone or in combination with
other letters) as in this example: S 61 G 92125 R. Add up the shipping
weights of all non-mailable items in your order (count extra ounces as a full
lb.) and find the corresponding charge in the table below.

non-mailable merchandise is .
