All orders are subject to processing time that is separate and apart from the time it takes for a shipment to reach its destination from our warehouse. Depending on a number of factors, standard domestic and international orders may take up to 3 business days before it ships (weekends, holidays, pandemic, etc).

All packages are sent in plain, non-descript packages with no indication of the contents.

We try to ship all orders placed by 11:00AM Eastern time the same day*. Orders placed after this time will be processed and shipped the following business day. Please be aware, we are closed on weekends, and holidays, so any orders received after 11AM Eastern time on Friday, or any time Saturday or Sunday, will not be processed until the following Monday.

Although we try out best to keep the website up to date, if an item is out of stock when an order is processed, a notification email will be sent regarding the status of the backorder and the approximate timeframe in which the item will be shipped. If we do not have an expected date of shipment, or when we will receive new inventory, we may, at our discretion refund your order.
