Orders for items that are in-stock ship within 24-48 hours of order processing, excluding weekends and holidays. Most orders are shipped the same day the order is placed if received by 4pm ET and UPS is the selected method of shipping, excluding weekends. Barring exceptions, these orders ship out Monday through Friday at around 5:00 EST. During times of high volume, the lead time for Ground shipping may vary slightly. If you select a USPS postal service method, your order will ship the following day as USPS picks up in the morning. The actual delivery date or your package may differ from the estimated transit time based on time, day of the week, and certain dates the order is placed. For example: A Next Day Air order, leaving our store on a Friday for New York, will not arrive until Monday, even though it has a one day transit time. Or, a ground order placed on Christmas Eve will not leave our location until the first business day after Christmas as UPS does not pick up ground shipments on this day. Orders may also be delayed if a separate billing and shipping address are provided, fraud is suspected, items are out of stock, or at times of extremely high order volume. If your order is time sensitive, we recommend following up with a phone call to make sure your order will ship as needed.
