ShowMeCables is fully operational and shipping packages samed-day as normal. However, Fedex and UPS are experiencing delivery delays. From our experience that means most orders are taking one extra day to reach our customers. They also are not guaranteeing next day or second day deliveries. For more information please visit the Fedex or UPS websites.

ShowMeCables offers a flat rate of $8.99 shipping for UPS ground orders. If a product is eligible to ship via UPS ground, then the $8.99 flat rate applies. Some of our items are too big or bulky for ground shipping, those items are excluded from this promotion.
