We ship most packages by UPS. Special arrangements can be made for US Post Office, FedEx, DHL, etc, but they will delay the shipment and we cannot make any guarantees on delivery times.

For in-stock items, orders received by Noon ET are generally shipping on the day they are received or on the next business day. All special orders are subject to availability from the various manufacturers.

UPS uses Business Days to calculate their transit times. Weekends do not count. A complete chart of regular delivery speeds is listed on our Policies Page.

UPS Ground takes a calendar week to cross the country (5 business days). For Ground shipping, you should allow this long for the package to arrive regardless of where you live as we ship from various points throughout the country.

International shipments will have to be checked on a case by case basis. The location of the warehouse and the specific item will change the delivery times.

We will do our best to meet any special requests, but we don't control the shippers. They set the delivery rules. Please drop us an email from the link below if you have any questions.
