All in-stock orders ship within 3-5 days of receipt; generally sooner. Delivery times to your address vary based on your location. All orders are shipped with a US Postal Service Delivery Confirmation or UPS tracking number. That number is emailed to you the day the item ships. (US Postal service delivery confirmation not available on international orders.)
Backorders and Out of Stock Items
Occasionally because of a sudden increase in sales, shipment delay or discontinuation by suppliers, we are unable to ship ordered products. In order to prevent undue delays on delivery of the balance of orders it is our policy to ship all available products immediately and place the unavailable item on backorder (if not discontinued). For those orders shipped incomplete, 1) you will not be charged for the backordered item until it ships, and 2) the backordered item will be shipped free of charge. If you do not wish to receive a partial order, please make sure to write the words "Ship Complete" in the comments box. If we are unable to ship an item because it is no longer available and you do not wish to take delivery on the remainder of the order, please write "Cancel if any item unavailable" in the comments box.
