Order Processing
Merchandise will be shipped within one business day (Monday through Friday, excluding holidays) of our receipt of the order on all items currently in stock. Orders are shipped via UPS, and will be delivered according to the UPS transit time guarantee for the level of service selected. Within the continental United States you can generally expect to receive your purchase within five business days or fewer of the order being shipped. Transit times for UPS Ground, the most economical level of service, can be viewed on this map.
