Frequently Asked Questions

Shipping and Delivery

STANDARD SHIPPING

Our standard shipping method is FedEx Ground for the contiguous United States and USPS Priority for Alaska, Hawaii, Puerto Rico, and the U.S. Virgin Islands (3-6 business days). USPS International Air Mail is used for shipments to Canada (3-6 business days) and all other countries (2-3 weeks). We also offer FedEx 2Day and FedEx Standard Overnight as rush methods within the contiguous United States.

Orders placed by 12pm EST using rush shipping methods (Overnight or 2Day Service) are guaranteed to ship the same business day. Our business days are Monday-Friday, excluding national holidays. Backorders will ship as they become available, at no additional cost.

A signature will not be required for most residential deliveries. However, it is ultimately up to the discretion of the delivery driver.

FedEx requires a physical street address for delivery. If you select a PO Box as your shipping address, your shipping method will automatically revert to USPS First Class Mail. We do not offer rush methods for delivery to PO Boxes.
