When do you process orders?
Typically, orders are processed within 24 hours of the time they were placed and shipped within 48 hours with a few exceptions. These include whether the item is in stock or whether the item is a drop shipped by the manufacturer. We will make every effort to process your order as soon as we receive it.

Do you ship to international addresses?
At this time, we are unable to accept or ship international orders. 

What if an item I have ordered is out of stock?
Although we make every effort to maintain stock and satisfy our customers, occasionally we are out of certain items. If an item is temporarily out of stock, we'll email you with a backorder notification, which tells when you can expect to receive the item. If we are permanently out of stock on an item that you've ordered, we will notify you via email and refund you. Please email us with any questions about out-of-stock items.
