  • Please allow 24-72 hours for our staff to process all orders.
    • Often, orders may ship faster, but depending on availability, in-store sales, workload, and many other factors, it may take 24-72 hours to PROCESS AND FULFILL AN ORDER.

  • Many orders that qualify for free shipping will get shipped USPS First Class, USPS Priority Mail, UPS Ground, or UPS Sure Post because that is the best method for us. Just because a specific method is chosen and paid for does not mean it will be processed faster or arrive faster.
  • The allowable processing time may vary and is NOT GUARANTEED due to weather, availability, unknown back orders, workload, and other factors out of our control. We make every possible effort to get things processed as quickly as possible and to ship orders as quickly as possible but reserve the right to adjust processing and fulfillment times as we see fit.
