Service to Alaska and Hawaii is limited to our negotiated rates for FedEx One-Rate® 2-Day or USPS Priority live rate (PO Box only available if shipping to a P.O. Box).
Some addresses in these states may be subject to an additional shipping and handling surcharge of up to $15.00. We will contact you immediately if the address you provided requires additional fees.
If you provide us with a ship-to address that is an APO, FPO or P.O. Box, the only service that we will use for these address types is USPS Priority. If you select any shipping service that is not USPS Priority when you provide a APO, FPO or P.O. Box as your ship to address, Vital 4U shipping staff will automatically ship the order via USPS Priority to ensure delivery.
PLEASE NOTE: If you select a shipping service that is not USPS Priority, you will be responsible for the price difference if USPS Priority service is more than the service you selected. We will contact you to notify you of the price difference amount. Once the price difference has been paid for we will release your order. If you do not reply to our contact attempts within 48 hours or if you do not agree to pay for the price difference your order will be canceled.
Vital4U.com no longer offers Overnight or Next Day shipping services. The fastest shipping service available is FedEx 2-Day Express. We apologize for any inconvenience.

- Undeliverable
- Return to Sender

- The Addressee has moved without providing a forwarding address
Our system uses an automatic address verification system and will prevalidate the address you provided for your order. If the address shows as "invalid" we will contact you via email and/or by phone to confirm your shipping address specifics prior to releasing your order. If we do not receive a response from you within 2 business days, we will cancel the order and void the payment.
Service to any location that is not located within the 48 contiguous United States, Alaska, or Hawaii, is not available. This includes Canada and Mexico as restricted shipping locations. We apologize for any inconvenience.
