Our goal is to get each customer order will be packed and shipped as soon as possible after receiving the order. Normally orders will ship within 3 to 5 business days of receipt of the order. Reasons for delays are typically high order volume and holiday schedules. If an order is expected to take longer than 5 business days we will contact you with the reason for the delay and the anticipated shipping date. We ship on a first come, first serve basis in most cases. Once an item has shipped we will email you with a tracking number so that you can follow the shipment of the item as it progresses towards delivery. Please do not hesitate to contact us with any special requirements that you might have.
