Order Turn-Around:
Orders are typically shipped within 24 hours on business days. Saturday and Sunday are not considered business days. Upon placing your order you will receive an automatic email receipt. If you didn't receive this, either your order did not submit correctly, you didn't enter your email address correctly or your Internet provider is filtering your e-mail and rejecting legitimate e-mail by mistake. Please contact us if you didn't receive the email receipt with your 12 digit order number.

You will also receive a shipping confirmation email supplying your tracking number with instructions to track it. Again, if your email wasn't entered correctly - you will not receive this email.

Rarely do we have a backorder, but if that's the case we will contact you ASAP and you can choose to wait, substitute, or receive credit for that item.

Order Tracking:
Orders shipped by Fed-Ex or UPS are e-mailed a tracking number at the end of the business day when they have shipped. You can use that number (example given by following the link) to track your package.

Lost packages:
Ground packages should be delivered in 1-3 business days. If you don't receive your order within that time - please contact us and we'll track it for you. If it looks lost - we'll contact the shipper to do a driver follow-up to find out where it is. If after 8 business days they can't find it - you have the choice of a refund or re-shipment of the order.

We can not place claims on shipment that are more than 30 days old. If your package does not arrive within the 1-3 business days, contact us ASAP to ensure the claim is placed with the 30 day time limit.

Avoid Delays:
Provide a billing address if you are shipping somewhere else. The billing address must match what your bank has on file for the street and zip code. If it doesn't we receive a "No Match" message and have to email you for this information causing a delay.

TIP! If you have moved in the last year we recommend calling your issuing bank and ask them what they have on file for online address vefification. This could be different than your actual physical address. Make sure the Credit Card name is the Cardholder's Name and matches the billing address. Also, some banks do not subscribe to address verification. This problem gives us an "Address Match Unavailable". We are unable to process these cards. A faxed signature or money order is acceptable in this case.

Provide a way to reach you in case we have a question. We prefer email but a daytime phone is okay. If you don't have an email address, you won't receive your automatic order receipt with your order number or your shipping confirmation with your tracking number.
