Normally, all orders are shipped within 1 - 2 business days. These lead times could vary based on world events and catastrophes (COVID-19, etc.) as these lead times could increase.
As soon as your order is shipped, our website will send you a tracking number to the e-mail address on file with the order.
We are shipping within the contiguous 48 states which exclude Alaska, Hawaii, and Puerto Rico. Our website will display shipping prices for the contiguous 48 states.
We are able to ship to the non-contiguous states of Alaska and Hawaii, and all other off-shore insular areas, such as American Samoa, U.S. Virgin Islands, Northern Mariana Islands, Guam and Puerto Rico; however shipping costs will be much higher. We do not “mark up” or profit from the additional shipping costs. Actually, we apply our significantly discounted shipping prices from our preferred carriers UPS and FedEx and apply that shipping discount to your order. We always strive to take care of our customers no matter where they are located. Once we receive your order, we will notify you of the additional shipping costs (Typically, we will send you an invoice via e-mail for the charges so you can easily pay online). Once the additional shipping charges are paid, we will immediately ship your order. Please be patient on this process as we want to help and want the business!
Some products may not be able to be shipped to the non-contiguous states.
We cannot ship to a PO Box. You must enter a physical address for shipping.
