Shipping

Can I change my order? 

  • Once your order is placed, we can only make changes to it before it enters our processing system. This is usually occurs within one hour of placing an order. If a change to an order is needed, please contact customer service immediately and we will try our best to accommodate your request. 
How do I cancel my order? 
  • You may be able to cancel your order before it is released to the warehouse for processing. However, once an order is released to the warehouse for processing, it can no longer be canceled. Normally this occurs within 24 hours, but at times it can take into effect sooner. If a cancellation is needed, please contact customer service immediately and we will try our best to accommodate your request. 
Can I ship to an address other than my own? 
  • You can keep multiple addresses in your account so that you can ship packages to your home, to work, or to someone else. If you are purchasing a gift for someone, you can send it directly to the recipient. Our packaging slips do not display any price information and make it easy for gift recipients to return their items if necessary. We do not require an RMA to return any merchandise back to us. 
How long will my order take to get to me? 
  • We usually ship within two business days depending upon the number of orders we are processing, occasionally an item may be on back order and might take 3-4 business days. If item needs to be shipped via Truck, additional processing time is required. Please contact us for delivery times. If item is a special order item or large item, additional processing time might be required. Freight Insurance is included on all orders at our cost. 
    We offer these shipping methods for most items:
    - USPS Delivery (4 to 14 Business Days)
    - Ground (2 to 6 Business Days)
    - 3-Day (3 business days)
    - Standard Delivery (7 to 14 Business Days) 
  • Keep in mind that shipping times do not include processing time and generally takes two business days to process. We may use air or ground shipping as necessary to get your order to you within the promised timeframe. 
  • Shipping delays caused beyond the shipper (UPS, DHL, Federal Express, USPS, etc.) including, but not limited to, the following: the unavailability or refusal of a person to accept delivery of the shipment; acts of God; Public authorities acting with actual or apparent authority on the premises; acts or omissions of customs or similar authorities; riots, strikes, or other labor disputes; civil commotions, disruptions in air or ground transportation networks such as weather phenomena; and natural disasters, shall not be our responsibility. Please contact the shipping company directly. The shipping company does not provide refund for shipping for the above cases, and nor can we (for shipping charges) if your package does not get delivered. 
Why is my order coming in multiple shipments?
