    Shipping and Delivery:

  8. When does my order ship?
    Your items will be shipped within 3 business days by UPS Ground or USPS Priority, depending on the weight of the items. If there is a delay in your shipment, you will be notified. Once your item ships, we will email you the method of shipment and your tracking number.
    top 
  9. What shipping methods do you use?
    We use UPS Ground or USPS Priority mail for most orders within the Continental US. For Canada and overseas orders we use the United States Postal Service. Orders that ship to APO/FPO, Hawaii, Alaska, U.S. Territories, such as Guam and Puerto Rico can take from 4-8 weeks for arrival. Shipping charges will be calculated off-line for these orders and you will be notified of the total charges by e-mail before we ship. We will then wait for your confirmation to ship.

  10. How long before my order arrives?
    You can expect to receive your order within 2-3 weeks. If you would like to receive your items sooner we can arrange for quicker delivery in most cases. Please contact us by email or phone to inquire.
    top 
  11. What are the shipping charges?
    Shipping is calculated by total cost:
    Up to $24.99 = 6.95,
    $25.00 - 49.99 = 8.95
    $50.00 - 74.99 = 10.95
    $75.00 - 99.99 = 12.95
    $100.00 - 149.99 = 15.95
    $150.00 - 199.99 = 18.95
    $200.00 - 299.99 = 23.95
    $300.00 - 399.99 = 28.95
    $400.00 - 499.99 = 34.95
    Over $500 = 39.95
    Additional shipping fees may apply to larger items.

  12. Do you ship internationally?
    With regret, we are not able to ship internationally. We do ship to APO military addresses and all 52 states within the US as well as US territories such as Guam and PR.

  13. Will you ship to a different mailing address?
    Our order form will guide you easily through this process. However, we can only ship to one address per order: if you have multiple addresses to ship to, it will have to be processed as a separate, new order.
