Shipping and Handling-United States

The Shipping and Handling charge will be added to your purchase based on the order total of your order. It is for standard delivery by USPS media mail. See charts below.

Orders are usually processed within 2 to 5 business days. After we process your order, delivery is generally 6 to 10 business days in the continental US by USPS Media Mail.

If you need a faster delivery time, see Shipping Upgrades. Please call us for overnight rush orders at 800-326-9273.

During the busy season (July to September) there can be delays due to high order volume. If you have a deadline, please give us a call or email and we can tell you when your order will be shipped.

Note: Shipping to AK, HI and Trust Territories may be higher. We will contact you if your S&H is higher and will need to be adjusted.

Shipping to Overseas Military Addresses
International Shipping Note: shipping to Canada is considered international shipping.

Upgrade to USPS Priority Mail for US Addresses only

USPS Priority Mail takes approximately 2-3 days (in the lower 48 states) once we process the order. It takes longer to AK, HI, Trust Territories, and US military addresses.

NOTE: This rate is available to AK, HI, and Trust Territories only if your order fits in either the USPS Flat Rate Priority Mail envelope or one of the USPS Flat Rate Priority Mail boxes. Otherwise, there may be additional charges--we'll notify you if that's the case.

Fed Ex Overnight or FedEx 2-Day

If you call by noon EST and the items are in stock, we try to ship the same day if possible. We'll let you know the options when you call.

Please call 800-326-9273 for this option.

Shipping to Overseas Military Addresses

We appreciate our military families who serve overseas. Once the military postal system takes the package, it is not traceable and must be shipped at the customer's risk. We highly recommend that you upgrade to USPS Priority Mail. Otherwise the package can take a long time to arrive.
