Shipping Carriers

Best Buy partners with UPS, UPS Mail Innovations and the United States Postal Service (USPS) to ship your packages. Standard shipping orders are shipped by UPS, Streamlite, UPS Mail Innovations or the United States Postal Service (USPS). Expedited or Express orders are shipped by UPS. You'll receive a shipping confirmation e-mail that will confirm which carrier was used for your products.

You may notice that Streamlite or UPS Mail Innovations begin the process on many shipments arriving from the USPS. That's because the Streamlite and UPS Mail Innovations Processing Facility works in conjunction with the USPS.

Shipping to Alaska and Hawaii

There is no extra shipping fee to Alaska and Hawaii. Marketplace items cannot currently be shipped to Alaska or Hawaii.

Shipping Costs
