How Long Does Delivery Take?
You can check each item’s stock status and the estimated ship time on the product page or in your shopping cart. We’ve also provided the following helpful guide:
All orders will be processed throughout the week (Monday – Friday), and we always aim to ship as quickly as possible. Once shipped, you’ll receive tracking information to the email address you provided us.
Most ground shipments are delivered by FedEx or UPS – these shouldn’t require a signature.
Here’s what timeframe you can expect, depending on how you requested your order shipped:
- Standard: 3-5 business days
- 3-Day: Delivery in 3 days, once the item ships
- 2-Day: Delivery in 2 days, once the item ships
- Next-Day: Delivery the next day
The stated timeframe doesn’t cover the order fulfillment period. Expedited shipments are exclusively delivered on weekdays. We cannot issue refunds for delays in expedited shipping caused by uncontrollable acts of nature.
Waiting on a curbside freight shipment? Products that exceed standard size or are too fragile for regular ground shipping will be shipped via freight. Freight carriers are equipped with the expertise to safely handle oversized and delicate items, ensuring a superior delivery service. Here’s what you can anticipate from the freight shipping process:
- After your order ships, you’ll get a tracking number with an estimated delivery date to your local freight terminal.
- The carrier will give you a call to set up a delivery appointment sometime within the next 1-2 business days – they only do weekdays. If you can’t receive the shipment within 1-2 business days of it hitting the freight terminal, reach out to us.
- All standard freight deliveries are dropped off curbside. The driver will get it to the curb but can’t move it any further.
- When the delivery arrives, please carefully look over your order. Before signing, make a note on the delivery receipt of any visible damage to the shipment and products, as well as any missing items.
