We offer several shipping options at checkout so you can choose the service that best meets your needs.

Customers who qualify for free shipping may still choose a paid shipping service at checkout.

Economy Shipping

For Economy Shipping and Free Economy Shipping, we select the shipping carrier and service based on the package size, weight, destination, and available shipping options.

Orders may ship via USPS, UPS, or FedEx. All shipments include tracking.

Economy Shipping is not necessarily slower than our paid shipping options. Many Economy orders ship via USPS Ground Advantage.

Expedited Shipping

Customers who prefer a specific USPS service can select USPS Ground Advantage, Priority Mail, or Priority Mail Express at checkout.

USPS Priority Mail Express is available on eligible lightweight orders weighing up to one pound. Availability may vary depending on the items ordered.

Delivery times shown are estimates provided for the shipping service and are not guaranteed. Processing time is separate from carrier transit time.

Tracking Your Order

Once your order ships, you'll receive a shipping confirmation with tracking information.

You can follow your shipment using the tracking link in your confirmation email or through your order details.

International Shipping

We currently ship internationally to Canada, Australia, and New Zealand.

International shipping rates are calculated at checkout based on the destination, package weight, and available shipping services.

Orders are typically processed within 1–2 business days.

International deliveries generally take approximately 7–14 business days, although delivery may take up to 30 days or longer in some circumstances, particularly for remote destinations or customs delays.

Customs, Duties, and Import Taxes

International customers are responsible for any applicable customs duties, import taxes, or other fees charged by their country, unless otherwise indicated at checkout.

Customs processing and carrier delays are outside our control.

APO/FPO Shipping

We ship to APO/FPO addresses using eligible USPS services. Free Economy Shipping is available on qualifying U.S. orders of $45 or more.

Delivery times to military addresses may be longer than standard domestic estimates.

Shipping Delays

While we make every effort to ship orders promptly, delivery estimates may be affected by weather, holidays, carrier disruptions, customs processing, or other circumstances beyond our control.
