Welcome to Alpha Table Tennis. We want to make sure you enjoy the best possible service from us - fast, efficient, courteous. We ship out your orders on the same day, if possible. We never charge a "handling charge", just $6 for shipping. Within the US, there's no shipping charge for orders $75 and over, except for Table Tennis robots. For international orders, we add a shipping charge equal to the US Postal Service's airmail charge. Please note that this charge will not appear on the initial order page. We will process it separately after we have shipped the item. We try to keep your shipping charges as low as possible. Since the weight of each shipment is hard to determine exactly in advance, we only charge you once we know exactly how much it cost us to ship it to you.

From outside the USA, please call USA 626 584-6377, or contact us via e-mail at diego@alphatt.com Alpha Table Tennis does not have a store front, but you *can* meet us and pick up your order at either one of our Los Angeles area clubs. We can arrange that by phone or e-mail.
