We strive our best to get your order out within 1 business day of your order being placed!
Our standard shipping takes generally up to 5 business days (7 days) to arrive. This is not a promise or guarantee! This is an estimate provided by the Post Office.
If your tracking information has not been updated, but your order is less than 7 days (5 business days) old we do not consider it late. So, keep waiting patiently. There are a few reasons why tracking can get "stuck" at a certain location for a few days:
- The post office is supposed to scan packages for each product movement. But, let's face it, they're an organization of of over six-hundred thousand employees. Occasionally, some of those employees do things that do not entirely make sense.
- There are occasionally equipment malfunctions. We have seen packages go through a hub, and for days none of those packages were scanned by that hub. Why? Their scanner wasn't working correctly! If you've ever tried hooking up a printer to an Apple MAC, you will quickly appreciate technology that connects easily. The reality is that the post offices equipment is a mix of old and new, running on multiple types of technologies and operating systems that somehow communicate with one another. At least once a month our IT staff has to fix a printer connection on our computers; I can only imagine the struggles the Post Office has in keeping their technology connections live.
- In a perfect world, we would not have any issues. But than, we wouldn't need tracking information either, would we??
There are many things that can cause your order to be delivered late
- Weather. Just because it's warm and sunny at our Warehouse and your delivery location does not mean that one of the locations your package passes through will not be held up due to inclement weather.
- It was sent to the wrong hub. The post office handles a billion pieces of mail daily! They do send items to the wrong post office. Generally, this mail is rerouted to the correct location. Just be patient; we really can't do anything to spur the post office to further action. When we call them, they see the same limited tracking information that you see on USPS.com.
- Batch shipping. The post office occasionally waits until they have a full batch going to a specific location before shipping the batch. Say we are shipping from Pennsylvania to Los Angeles California. Our shipment is sent from our local post office to a HUB in Lancaster, PA. Lancaster may wait until they have an entire skid of a specific size box before putting that skid on an airplane to Los Angeles.

All orders with a merchandise total of less than $75 are charged a $7 flat rate shipping fee.
We use a flat rate to alleviate the need for sophisticated shipping calculations.

All our carriers enable us to offer high-quality shipping services at a low cost. We determine which carrier to use for your order based on a variety of factors, such as type of products purchased, shipping address, size/weight of the order and delivery speed selected.
