What is the lead time on my order being shipped?
It is our goal to ship your order as soon as possible. Typically our turnaround is 24-36 hours to ship your order. If you have a request for a rush, please send an email noting your shipping needs and we will do our best to accommodate your shipping time frame, however we provide no guarantees aside from what is noted above.
Although most orders ship within 24-36 hours, note that business days are Monday - Friday and do not include Saturdays, Sundays or U.S. Federal Holidays.
When calculating the transit time, the day the order is placed or the day that the package is shipped does not count as a transit day.  For example, if an order were to be placed on Tuesday, the order would likely ship on Wednesday or Thursday.  The transit time countdown begins on the day following the pickup from our warehouse. 
Thus, if a box is shipped to an address that requires four days of transit time, and the order were to be shipped on Wednesday, the order would arrive the following Tuesday (transit days: Thursday, Friday, Monday, Tuesday).  If you have a specific day you need your order to arrive, please send an email noting your needs so that we can confirm if the package will arrive on time.

Incorrect Shipping Information  When placing an order, it is the responsibility of the buyer to provide correct bill to and ship to information. We assume no responsibility for information that is incorrectly provided.  In the event that incomplete or incorrect address information is provided to us and the package is returned, we will provide a full refund for the cost of the merchandise order with the original shipping costs deducted from the merchandise total.  In the event our shipping software flags an address as being invalid, incorrect or requiring more information, the order will be held until a confirmation is received from the buyer at which time the order will be shipped and the turnaround shipping time noted above is nullified.

Free Shipping  Free shipping promotions are subject to conditions and does not apply to any addresses outside of the continental USA or international addresses. An actual address must be provided to qualify (PO Boxes do not qualify for Free Shipping). 

SHIPPING UPGRADES  Shipping methods are subject to change without prior notification.  Reasons might include if a UPS is selected for a PO address which only USPS can deliver to, a shipping upgrade in transit time etc

UPS SurePost  Note that this is typically the most economical method (UPS will begin with the package and route it through its internal network and hand the package to the local USPS office for delivery on the "final mile" of the package).  However, it is not guaranteed and is the slowest shipping method.  Standard transit time of the package is 3-10 business days.  Shipments originate on the West Coast, so addresses located in the Midwest to East coast can expect the longer transit times.  If you are placing an order that has a deadline, we strongly advise that you do not select the Free Shipping or UPS SurePost option.

USPS Priority Mail  An approximate 2-3 day transit time can be expected.  Note that the USPS Mail does not provide a guarantee for their transit time standard options of Priority and First Class USPS Mail.  Rather, the USPS transit times are estimates (although they are typically very reliable).  

UPS GROUND TRANSIT TIMES  Refer to the transit times pictured on the chart listed below which provides estimated business day transit times
