Most of our shipments are handled by UPS, FedEx, and the U.S. Postal Service. These businesses ship six days a week.

We will ship to valid addresses outside the continental United States, provided that the additional shipping fee has been paid.

Will I need to sign for my package?

We do not request receiver verification unless it is requested by you, the customer, when the order is placed.

Why has only part of my order shipped?

Occasionally it is necessary to backorder all or part of an order. When this is necessary, we will update your packing list, as well as your account information, to keep you informed of estimated delivery times. If you have any questions, please contact Customer Service.

How do you determine shipping rates?

We determine our shipping rate based on the cost to prepare, handle, and pack your order.
