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 U.S. Mail.

  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.

4   Discounts - see internet specials and/or two for one specials (free merchandise).

5    Figure Shipping for Each Box. First, find your zone. This is done by taking the first three numbers of your zip code and looking them up on the Zone Chart in the in the Shipping Page. This will tell you what zone youaAre in. Then, look on the correct Shipping Chart - UPS or US Mail, depending on which way you would like to have your order sent. The shipping charges by US Mail Are a little more than by UPS and it usually takes longer to get to you. Also, by UPS, if we ship materials in 1lb quantities, we can ship it non-hazardously (see Note above on hazardous free shipping). Confused Yet? Note: if you desire to have your package(s) shipped by Federal Express, be advised that any hazardous materials are required to go Priority Overnight and they also have a $40.00 or more per box hazardous fee. Feel free to call for shipping rates, etc. (208) 251-7420 or (208) 251-7415.

6    Figure Hazmat Charges, If any. See the note at the top of this page for help in figuring which items/quantities need a hazmat fee. Some hazardous boxes you will be getting, by UPS, requires a hazardous fee. Call for those that don't require this fee and fill in the appropriate line on the order form with this total.

7    Figure Box Charges. Each non-hazardous box (including those that contain no ORM-D materials) Is $4.75 by both UPS and US Mail. ORM-D boxes by US Mail are $5.50 with insurance. Each Hazardous Box Is $7.50 or $13.00 by UPS. Fill in the appropriate line on the order form with this total. Note: for chemicals that require a DOT E8249 box, they can hold 10 Lbs, and 20 lbs of material and cost $12.00 and $14.00 respectively.

8    Sales Tax: currently, this Is not required unless you live in Idaho.

9    Order Processing Fee - 3% on all orders including quoted prices, special order-ins or sale items.
