Shipping considerations when buying personal water fountains

Many personal fountains are constructed from heavy materials, a fact which obviously impacts the cost and means of delivering the fountain to your home or office. This may only have major significance if you’re ordering a particularly large fountain, however.

Here are some factors to consider:

Weight of the fountain.
Shipping options. Can you select among different carriers or delivery methods and time-frames (e.g., Air, Ground, 3-day, 5-day, 7-day)?
Shipping site and distance. Where will the fountain be shipped from? How far is it between the points of origin and delivery?

Always feel free to ask the merchant about shipping considerations and options, and whether they have a particular "default" shipping option (e.g., UPS Ground).
