Order Processing

  • Cut-Off Times: Orders placed by 9 a.m. EST (8 a.m. EST from June 15 to September 15) Monday through Friday ship the same day. Orders after this time ship the next business day.
  • Weekends & Holidays: Orders placed after 9 a.m. EST Friday, on Saturday, Sunday, or holidays ship the following business day. No Saturday or Sunday delivery available.
  • Holiday Closures: We’re closed December 25 to January 2. Orders placed during this period ship starting January 3, with potential delays due to high volume.

Tracking Your Order

  • Once your order ships, you’ll receive a confirmation email with a tracking number. Use this to monitor your package on the carrier’s website (UPS or USPS). Contact us if you don’t receive tracking within 2 business days of ordering.

Delivery Guidelines

  • Signature Requirement: High-value orders may require a signature upon delivery for security.
  • Lost or Stolen Packages: We insure all shipments until delivery. After delivery (e.g., left at your address per tracking), the package becomes your responsibility. For lost or stolen packages post-delivery, file a claim with the carrier or local authorities. Contact us within 7 days if your package shows delivered but you haven’t received it, and we’ll assist with the claim process.
  • Incorrect Address: Double-check your shipping address at checkout. We’re not responsible for delays or losses due to incorrect address entry.

International Shipping Details

  • Customs Delays: International orders may face delays due to customs processing, which is beyond our control. Plan accordingly for time-sensitive deliveries.
  • Restricted Countries: Some regions may be ineligible due to shipping restrictions or local laws. If your country isn’t listed at checkout, contact us for options.

Special Notes

  • Weather or Carrier Delays: Severe weather or carrier issues may affect delivery times. We’ll notify you if significant delays occur.
  • Gift Orders: Indicate if your order is a gift at checkout for discreet packaging (no pricing included).
