USPS PRIORITY MAIL
The most popular shipping method chosen by our customers in the U.S. is Priority Mail, shipped via United States Postal Service. Priority Mail has a Delivery Confirmation number. You will be emailed your delivery confirmation number and a quick link to see the shipping and delivery status of your package online. Priority Mail usually arrives in 1 to 3 days, depending on how far you are from us in northern California. Alaska and Hawaii can take longer. Priority Mail is not automatically insured, though we often insure larger orders.
Our experience with Priority Mail transit times tells us delivery transit times, though not guaranteed, will likely be:
Western states - 1-2 BUSINESS DAYS
Central states - 2 BUSINESS DAYS
Eastern states - 2 to 3 BUSINESS DAYS
USPS EXPRESS MAIL
The other option we offer for all orders is Express Mail, shipped via United States Postal Service. Express Mail has a Tracking number which will show most activity during the package's journey. Packages usually arrive in 1 to 2 business days from our location in Central Arizona and is automatically insured. You will be required to sign for any insured package, unless you instruct us to send without signature. However, if you choose no signature, you will be responsible if the package is lost or stolen.
UPS STANDARD
We also offer UPS Ground/Home Delivery, which is a cost-effective method for heavier orders. You may be given this additional option upon checkout. Transit time is 1 to 9 days depending upon your location. We do not offer UPS Ground to Alaska, Hawaii, Puerto Rico, US Territories, or APO/FPO addresses, so it will not be offered to these destinations. UPS does not ship to PO Boxes, so please provide a physical address when choosing this method.
UPS OVERNIGHT, 2ND DAY AIR, or 3RD DAY AIR
Upon request, we can ship UPS Overnight, 2nd Day, or 3rd Day. However, as you can see from the above delivery time estimates, Priority Mail is often just as quick as more expensive methods, though delivery time is not guaranteed.
To indicate that you wish a UPS method of shipping, type your request in the Customer Notes section of your order, or email or call us as soon as possible after placing your order. In most circumstances, if your order and full instructions are received by 3pm EST (2PM PST), we will ship your order the same day GUARANTEED with expedited shipping charges of $17.00. Please indicate the service you want. If you choose UPS, the new shipping charge will replace the one calculated with your order.
If you know what method you want, and approve the approximate cost, please indicate so on your order or your email - knowing exactly what you want saves time in communication, which is vital when you want your package sent via an express method.
