Domestic Shipping Options

We offer the following service level options for shipments within the United States.

Economy Shipping (1 to 7 business days)

Economy Shipping is the least expensive method of shipment. Depending upon where you live in the country, orders are typically received within 1 to 7 business days after the order leaves our warehouse. The below map illustrates typical delivery time frames for locations throughout the continental United States. Transit days are provided in business days. Not all addresses are eligible for Economy Shipping. PO Boxes and APO/Military addresses as well as shipments to Hawaii, Alaska and US territories are not eligible for Economy Shipping. No weekend or holiday delivery.

 

Standard Shipping (1 to 4 business days)

Standard Shipping is the most popular shipping service level we offer. Depending upon where you live in the country, orders are typically received within 1 to 4 business days after the order leaves our warehouse. The below map illustrates typical delivery time frames for locations throughout the continental United States. Transit days are provided in business days. Not all addresses are eligible for the Standard Shipping service level. PO Boxes and APO/FPO/Military addresses as well as shipments to Hawaii, Alaska and US territories are not eligible for Standard Shipping. No weekend or holiday delivery.

 

Premium Shipping (1 to 2 business days)

Premium Shipping is one of the most expensive shipping service levels and yet, is usually the most reliable and fastest. Orders are typically received within 1 to 2 business days after the order leaves our warehouse. In most cases, Premium Shipping is the only method that can be used for shipments going to a PO Box, APO or FPO address as well as shipments to Hawaii, Alaska and US territories. No weekend or holiday delivery.

Note that shipments to an APO or FPO address may take up to 21 days which unfortunately we have no control over.

 

Next Day Air Delivery via UPS (1 business day)

Next Day Air Delivery is only delivered va United Parcel Service (UPS). This service is not offered to all addresses but where it is offered, UPS will typically deliver by noon the next business day. Orders are received the next business day after the order leaves our warehouse. No weekend or holiday delivery.

Saturday Delivery via UPS Red Label or USPS Express Maill

Saturday Delivery shipments can be made via USPS Exprss Mail or via United Parcel Service (UPS) - your choice. The Saturday Delivery option is not available to all areas including Hawaii, Alaska or any of the US Territories. Details of our Saturday Delivery option can be found here: Saturday Delivery Option

With the exception of the Next Day Air and Saturday Delivery options, the above options are SERVICE LEVELS. They are not specific shipping methods. We use a variety of carriers and shipping methods for each service level. We may use air or ground shipping as required by the carrier to get your order to you within the service level time frame you choose. With only a few exceptions, all shipments are sent via a traceable carrier who provides a tracking number.

Please note that we do not guarantee delivery by a specific date. The shipping time frames stated for each of our shipping options is the estimated number of days it will take for you to receive your order after your order leaves our warehouse (time of shipment) and not the number of days after you place your order. While in most cases we are able to ship within 1 - 3 business days (or less) of when the order is placed, we can not guarantee it. With the exception of our Saturday Delivery option, “Business Days” are defined as weekdays, Monday-Friday, excluding Saturday, Sunday and holidays. For an estimate of when you can expect your order to arrive, we recommend using our DELIVERY CALCULATOR.

Delivery Attempts / Signature Required

Most of the carriers we use will make three attempts to deliver a package. It is typically up to the driver's discretion to determine whether a signature is required (packages shipped via air almost always require a signature). If the driver feels it is best to obtain a signature and no one is present to accept the delivery after three attempts, the package will be returned to us.

A Note About USPS Priority Mail

While Priority Mail is generally an inexpensive means of shipment, it is not always the most reliable and perhaps more importantly, it is not a traceable means of shipping date sensitive packages. We know it costs more to ship USPS Express Mail but our experience has been that the value of being able to track a package from our warehouse to the customer's ship-to address far out-weighs the cost savings of using USPS Priority Mail. It is only in situations where USPS Priority Mail is the only shipping option available (such as to APO/FPO addresses) that we use USPS Priority Mail. In all other situations where the USPS must be used, we will use Express Mail.
