US Shipping
During the checkout process, customers are given the option to select the shipping method desired. Standard shipping is free to the lower 48 US States using FedEx Ground, UPS or USPS Priority Mail. Transit times vary from 2–5 days once an order is processed and shipped. Larger shipments use FedEx LTL Truck Freight wherever possible. Expedited air shipment options at additional charge can be selected during the online checkout process including FedEx Next Day, 2nd Day and 3 Day Saver. Please contact our customer service to confirm order processing time for time-sensitive shipments, as we are not always able to process and hand off expedited air orders the same day the order is placed.
