Shipping Rates & Terms
Ground Shipping - Estimated Shipping 3 to 7 Business Days
Two Day Shipping - Estimated delivery by 3:00PM two days following shipment
Next Day Shipping - Estimated delivery by 3:00PM the day following shipment
Priority Shipping - Estimated delivery by 10:00AM the day following shipment
Calculating Ship Times The time it will take for you to receive your order depends on the "Product Availability" time listed for the product ordered plus the Shipping Time for the delivery method you select.
Total Ship Time = Product Availability Time + Delivery Method Ship Time.
For example, if the Product Availability Time is 3-5 days and the Delivery Method Ship Time is 1-2 Business Days, you will receive your order in 4-7 business days.
Choosing Next Day Air or Second-Day Air does not mean your order will be delivered in 1 or 2 days from the time you place your order online.
You will receive your order 1-2 days after the "Product Availability" time listed for the product you selected. The "Product Availability" time is the amount of time required to process your order through our warehouse and acquire the product requested.
If you choose items with different "Product Availability" times -- for example, a 3-5 day delivery item along with a "Special Order" or "Pre-Order" item, each item will ship as it becomes available. There will be no extra charge for the shipment of these items.
Note: Please keep in mind that our warehouse does not ship on weekends and we do not offer Saturday or Sunday delivery.
