What is Shared Container Offset Surcharge?
When making a purchase of an airframe on our website you’ll notice we added a surcharge. This fee is a necessary surcharge to offset the unprecedented cost increase of ocean freight related to importing containers during the 2021-2022 global shipping crisis.
Ocean freight costs risen by 500% compare to last year, leaving us no choice but to share this cost with our customers as we are no longer able to absorb it. Please know that we are only sharing a small portion of the actual shipping costs with you.
Do you ship Internationally?
We ship worldwide, however if you do not ship to a US address it may be cheaper to purchase PA products locally through one of our dealers.
We do not ship to China.
Note that when ordering outside of the US/Canada we will only charge you for the items during the online purchase. Once the order is packed and shipping is calculated we will send you an email to a secure payment page to pay for shipping of your order.
How do you ship to Canada?
We are shipping all Canadian orders using USPS Priority Mail®, this means for you no broker fees. Batteries, however, can only be shipped via UPS to Canada.
What our US shipping charges covers?
Our freight charges cover standard shipping cost, insurance (up to value of package), shippers stated rate and minimal handling cost. Customers requiring faster shipping, additional insurance coverage, the requirement of additional box (s) for safe shipping of the items you order and any special handling charges may be requested to pay additional charges.
If you need extra fast shipping such as Next Day, or 2-day service please ask for it. These services may be limited depending on your service area. Holidays and weekends will delay delivery.
Save $$ on shipping and handling: Buy all your needs at the same time. Keep in mind that when you buy an aircraft we can put in its box all the accessories needed, so you pay shipping and handling fees for one box only.
