Shipping & Returns
Q: When will my order ship?
All shipments leave Monday through Friday. Since some orders are drop-shipped from other suppliers, we cannot guarantee same or next-day shipments. However, most shipments will leave within 1-3 days. If there are any known delays, we will let you know as soon as possible.
Q: When will I receive my order?
While some orders may ship directly from our warehouse in Mentor, OH, we do drop-ship from other suppliers. We do our best to only work with suppliers that can fulfill our orders efficiently, so most orders will leave within 1-3 business days after processing. Standard ground shipments will take 1-5 business days to arrive, depending on which state you ship to (a business day is a non-holiday weekday, weekends are not counted). Expedited shipments will arrive in the amount of business days you select, plus the processing time, prior to shipping. Please allow extra time when shipping to remote rural areas and during peak holidays. When your order ships, you will receive a Shipping Confirmation email with a tracking number and direct link you can use to track your order. If you placed your order via the telephone and did not provide us with an e-mail address, please contact customer service if you do not received your order within 10 business days.
