HOW TO ESTIMATE WHEN YOUR ORDER WILL ARRIVE

Basic Shipping Time Calculation

Delivery Day = Processing Time + Transit Time


Processing Time

We usually take one business day to process orders once the payment is cleared or approved. In some cases, we may need to verify payment information. In these cases the order will not be processed until we have confimed the payment is approved. Please make sure that your billing address is correct to avoid possible delays. Please note that Paypal eCheck payments may take up to 5 business days to be approved. We will notify the customer via email or phone if further information is necessary.


Transit Time

Please refer to transit time tables below. For the Free Shipping option, we usually use USPS First Class Mail for orders less than 1 lb in total weight, and UPS Ground for orders weighing 2 lbs or more. The customer will be notified by e-mail once the order has shipped.


Example

  • Monday: Order placed
    Payment is approved with billing address matched. Shipping address is in Brooklyn, NY, USA.
  • Tuesday: Order processed
    Order is shipped on Tuesday via UPS Ground (example). UPS driver picks up shipment. Norification email is sent to the customer. UPS website shows estimated delivery on Friday.
  • Friday: Order delivered
    (Shipping from MN to NY takes on-average three business days via UPS Ground).
