In our delivery area, orders between $150-$400 are subjected to a $25 delivery charge, while orders over $400 are delivered free.  If your shipping address is within these delivery routes, you will have the option to have your order delivered by truck when you checkout. Residential addresses may be subject to additional shipping charges. If our trucks are unable to ship to your address, a customer representative may call you to discuss other shipping or pick-up options.

 

We also ship via other carriers (UPS, FedEx, etc.) to areas outside our delivery routes (within the 48 contiguous states). Standard shipping rates apply. Unfortunately, we cannot ship certain items such as glass, food and preservatives, branches, etc. via UPS. You may call one of our Sales Representatives to discuss other shipping options.

 

Worldwide shipping rates apply to deliveries to areas outside the 48 contiguous states (Alaska, Hawaii, Puerto Rico, Canada, etc.) and are not included in any "Free Standard Shipping" promotions.

 

It is recommended to speak with a Sales Representative regarding non-Standard shipping options.

 

Sales Tax
Q:Will I be charged Sales Tax?
A:

Federal Law regulates whether a vendor must collect sales tax on orders placed over the internet. Vendors who have a store or branch in a state that charges sales tax are obligated to collect sales tax from customers within those states who order over the internet. Since Jacobson's has a Massachusetts location - if you are a Massachusetts business ordering on our web site we must charge sales tax unless you supply us with a Tax Exempt certificate (St-4, St-5, ST-12).

 

If you have any questions about the acceptance or use of these certificates please contact:

Massachusetts Department of Revenue, Customer Service Bureau, PO Box 7010, Boston, MA 02204, or call (617) 887-MDOR or toll-free, in-state 1-800-392-6089.
