Although most of our products will come with all pertinent manufacturer contact info, we will gladly assist our "confirmed customers" in obtaining any contact info they may find necessary. We do not however offer our vendor/manufacturer list or contact information to anyone who has not purchased one of that manufacturer's products directly from Back Be Nimble.

How can I know what shipping costs will be?
If you would like some idea of what your shipping costs will be while you are still shopping, you can do so by first adding any product to a shopping cart(you may always remove it) and then selecting your zip code or different destination country in the shopping cart display page. Once a zip or destination country is selected, it will remain selected on subsequent views of the shopping cart (like when you add new items to the cart.
Shipping costs are also, of course, displayed as part of the checkout process where you can choose between all shipping options that might be available for your purchase and location.
For those products which have special shipping rates (like free or fixed rate shipping), there will be a note about the special rates on the page where you initially order the product.
For products shipped directly from the manufacturer, we will do our best to let you know what shipping costs will be at the time you are placing your order. But, in just a few cases, we cannot know these ship costs exactly and the price will not be listed. In these cases, we will contact you by phone or email to let you know what the shipping costs will be. Your payment will not be processed (you card will not be charged) until we have contacted you and you tell us to go ahead with the order.

By what methods does Back Be Nimble ship orders?
Domestically, most of our smaller items, by default, will arrive via First Class Mail thru the U.S. Postal System with options for expedited shipping via Airborne Express (either 2nd day, overnite, or Saturday delivery when available).
If shipped via First Class Mail most in stock orders will be shipped within 24 hours and arrive 3-6 working days from time of order. If you find that your order doesn't arrive in a timely fashion you should first look to your local postal office to see if they missed you and are storing your package at the post office. Then, of course, you can always contact Back Be Nimble for tracing your package.
Most of our larger items including chairs, mattresses, beds, inversion units, and massage tables, will be dropped ship from our manufacturers by either UPS, RPS, Fedex, or common freight carrier.
Panasonic recliners, specifically, are shipped from our own warehouse via a 1-7 working day carrier. Your transit time is selected by you during the checkout process. Our carrier includes inside "white glove delivery" for your convenience.

Shipping Times and Schedules, and reasons for delays
Our best efforts are made to ship your orders A.S.A.P. There are however exceptions beyond our control:
Processing Delays: At times the processing of the financial transaction could be delayed due to (1) credit card decline, (2) inability to verify that the billing address provided matches your banks record as to where the bill is sent. (3) Out of stock on items ordered--If we find that either our warehouse, or that of a manufacturer responsible for shipping your order or partial order is out of stock on something you ordered, then we will
delay processing until we can contact you to find out your preference on how to proceed. (4) Orders placed in which you are requesting that we price match with another vendor of the particular product. Until we can at least verify that vendors retail price on an item that they have in stock, then we will delay the actual processing of the order. (5) War, postal or airline strikes, holidays, or acts of God could also delay an order.
Normal Ship Times - DOMESTIC
First Class Mail: most of our small in stock items, by default, are shipped via First Class Mail. U.S. mail shipments of in stock items will ship on the first working day within 24 hours of your order and should arrive within 3-6 working days. If orders have not arrived within that time, then please, first see if your local post office is holding a package, and if not, then contact Back Be Nimble so that we may trace your shipment for you. If any of the items on your order are out of stock you will be contacted immediately to determine how we can best satisfy your needs.
Airborne Express: most of our smaller items will have Airborne as a shipping choice for an upcharge to First Class Mail. In most postal codes, Airborne offers the following services: NEXT MORNING, OR SECOND DAY with both having an upcharge for Saturday deliveries if available and should it be desired. A few of our products may automatically be upgraded to 2nd Day service at our disgression.
NOTE: All orders shipped directly from us will be processed on the same working day if received prior to 1:00pm (CST). If received on a non-working day or holiday, or after 1:00pm (CST), then your order will be processed on the next consecutive working day.
Oversize or Overweight Items: Many of our large items, including recliners, mattresses, chairs, adjustable beds and therapy tables are drop shipped from the manufacturers and not subject to the times specified above for smaller items. Since these items are usually custom made to order, shipment times will vary from 1 week to 8 weeks depending on the item. Most of these items have specified shipping times indicated on their individual web pages, but listed below are most of the items concerned:
- Memory Foam Mattresses these are shipped directly from the manufacturer with a choice of 2 different shipment methods (1) Full Service Delivery/Setup--allow 14-21 working days (doesn't include weekends or holidays); (2) Express Delivery/to door only--allow 7-14 working days (doesn't included weekends or holidays)
