Most of the hazardous chemicals Firefox supplies may be shipped hazmat free by UPS or US Mail, thus saving you additional shipping costs (UPS hazmat fee is currently $40.00 per box). In order to qualify for hazmat free ordering, chemicals must be packaged in no larger than 1 lb inner containers (2 lbs on a few items). with a maximum of 10 lbs total by UPS and 50 lbs total by U.S. Mail (including box/packaging weight).

Because there are so many different regulations, they cannot all be listed here. However, we will always package and ship your order the best way we can to save you money. If you have questions on a particular order please call (208-237-1976) or email us at firefox-fx@hotmail.com.

The following  chemicals and materials cannot be shipped free of hazmat fees and are therefore subject to UPS hazmat fees and UN haz box charges. There are no hazmat fees on orders that may be shipped by U.S. Mail (USPS).

1. Chemicals that must be shipped in DOT-E8249 packaging as listed in catalog (barium nitrate, barium peroxide, paris green, 5 lb containers of dangerous when wet (DW), etc.)
2. Titanium Sponge  (Titanium alloy is not regulated and therefore not hazardous to ship)
3. Custom Milled or Lumpy Potassium Chlorate and Perchlorate (no shipping by US Mail because of the 5lb minimum containers).
4. Materials marked 1.4S, 1.4G or 1.4E (no 1.4G or 1.4E by US Mail).

                   When we ship in 1lb packages, your cost is at the 1lb price. If you order 5 lbs, you do not receive the 5 lb price break but instead your price is 5 times the 1lb price for the item. You still save money because you do not pay the hazmat fees.

FIREFOX ORDERING INSTRUCTIONS

1. Fill out Order Form Entirely: include name, address, signature, date & items being ordered. The columns on the right (not on the online order form) are to record the appropriate hazardous class (Oxidizers, Flammables, Dangerous When Wets, Poisonous Materials and some other materials, so noted in their descriptions, otherwise, the item is non-hazardous, or other in the columns.

2. Figure Boxes Needed for Order: each hazardous class will require it's own box, while non-hazardous materials can go into any box. Note: ORM-D materials, while not requiring a hazmat fee by Ground Service, cannot be shipped with another class of hazardous material. Also, any extreme sized materials, such as 24" Long Tubes for Instance, will need it's own box as well.

3. Figure Weight of Each Box: each box must meet the following:

A) There can be no more than three different items of the same hazardous class per box.
B) There can be no more than **60 Lbs per box (except in the case of the DOT E8249 Exemption Boxes (required by items, as noted). In the case of potassium chlorate, which can be no more than 25 lbs per box and in shipments going by mail, there can only be a max of 50 lbs (including ORM-D materials.
C) There must be 2 lbs. added to the total weight of the box for the box Itself (except in the case of the DOT E8249 boxes which are 6 lbs for the 10 lb capacity box and 8 lbs. for the 20 lb. capacity box).

**WE NOW HAVE HAZMAT BOXES LARGE ENOUGH TO SHIP UP TO 60 LBS WITH ONLY ONE HAZMAT FEE!!

We can mix up to 3 different oxidizers in a hazmat pack with a total of 30 lbs per box to shave you shipping. KCLO3, KCLO4 and AP packaged in bulk 5 lb or larger tubs must be shipped as a hazmat item and as such cannot be sent by mail. In 1 lb packages (@ the 1 lb price) they are not hazardous and can be sent by mail (USPS). Because of the ridiculously high UPS fees, we now ship most orders by US Mail.
