FAQ
What is the difference between FedEx Ground and FedEx Home Delivery?
FedEx Ground is for commercial business addresses. If you are shipping your order to such an address, it’s important to put the company/organization name and floor or suite numbers on your shipping address. FedEx Home Delivery is for residential addresses. If you are shipping your order to such an address, it’s important to include information like apartment numbers and your phone number so FedEx can contact you if they are unable to locate your residence.
If I need something quickly, what are my options?
We offer 3 Day and Standard Overnight services to customers who are in a hurry to receive their anatomy products. Shipping days are business days, meaning if your order is placed before 10:30 AM CST on a Monday, it will ship that same day, and with 3 Day shipping, it will arrive to you 3 business days later on Thursday. If you place your order on a weekend or holiday, or after 10:30 AM CST, your order will ship the next business day. The same applies to Standard Overnight, only your order will arrive in 1 business days if placed before 10:30 AM CST on a business day. FedEx and UPS do not operate on the weekends and most major holidays.
Do you ship to international addresses?
Yes, we ship our anatomical products worldwide. To ship internationally, please contact our Support Team by email at support@anatomywarehouse.com or Request a Quote online, providing your full physical address for delivery. Taxes, duties and brokerage costs incurred during customs clearance are the responsibility of the purchaser and cannot be billed by Anatomy Warehouse. If you have further questions regarding international shipping, please contact our Support Team.
Do you ship to PO Boxes and APO/AE addresses?
Unfortunately we do not ship to PO Boxes and we try to limit shipping to APO/AE addresses due to the greater risk associated with shipping with the US Postal Service. If you absolutely do not have a physical address that you can ship your order to, contact our Support Team and we may have other options for you.
How will my anatomy model or anatomical chart be shipped?
Anatomy Warehouse ships with many different carriers, such as FedEx, UPS, USPS and Regional Carriers. Anatomical models are carefully packaged and boxed to ensure safe traveling. Anatomy posters are usually rolled and shipped in tubes, however large orders may be shipped flat.
Does Anatomy Warehouse Charge Sales Tax?
Our corporate headquarters are located in Illinois and by law we are required to charge sales tax for all orders shipping to the state of Illinois. Due to changing laws regarding sales tax collection from online stores, we are now required to charge sales tax to states that we or any of our vendors have a physical presence in. Therefore, we are now required to charge sales tax for Life/Form products shipping to California and Florida, as well as 3B Scientific products shipped to California. If you have any questions regarding your tax obligations or calculations, please do not hesitate to contact the Support Team by phone or email.

What Is the Difference Between Chart Formats?
To serve the needs of all of our customers, we offer many of our anatomy and fitness posters in a variety of formats. Most of our human anatomical charts measure 20 x 26, 20 x 27, or 27.55 x 39.37 inches, measured in width x height (dimensions are specified in the product descriptions). Laminated: Flexible plastic 1.5 mil lamination with metal eyelets in each top corner for convenient wall hanging or for use with chart stands; Laminated charts are markable (write-on/wipe-off with dry-erase markers). If you are going to put the chart on an office or classroom wall, this will hang nicely without curling at the edges. Also, the chart will easily roll up, if you want to carry it with you. Laminated is our most popular mounting. 3D Raised Relief: Made of durable, lightweight, non-toxic, recyclable plastic, with hole at the top for wall hanging. These 3-dimensional charts let you feel the texture and form of the anatomical structures. Each 3D Raised chart measures 18 x 25. Chart will stand up on easel. Styrene Plastic: Printed directly onto Styrene, this durable plastic chart is approximately 1/16” thick and has metal eyelets in top corners for convenient wall hanging, and is most commonly considered to be like credit card material; markable (write-on/wipe-off). Styrene charts are UV coated, latex-free and feature bold and bright colors. The chart will remain upright on an easel for presentations and will stand up to heavy use in the office or classroom.
Which Skeleton Is Right For Me?
We offer a wide range of human skeletal models, to fit the needs of all of our customers, ranging from chiropractors to sports therapists, students to educators. Most of our skeletons are either made in China or Germany, and all are anatomically correct. For more information on each specific skeleton, check out reviews from fellow consumers, watch product videos and demonstrations, or read the product manual for a complete list of features. For beginning students, we usually recommend our Axis Scientific Classic Human Skeleton with Study & Numbering Guide (A-104267), which is incredibly detailed and shows all major bony landmarks, so no detail is left behind during the manufacturing process.
