WHEN WILL I GET MY ORDER?

You will typically not see any shipping updates until the next business day. Any shipping inquiries should be made with the designated carrier (USPS, FedEx, or UPS), not us as we don't control how quickly they scan, process or move your order within their network.
If your tracking status says “Label Created, not yet in system,” that means that your package is no longer at our suppliers warehouse and has been dropped off at the shipping facility, but it has not yet scanned in to get the shipping process started. Please give them 1-2 business days to update this status.
Once your product has left the warehouse, we have no control over where the product goes or how fast it gets there. Please contact your designated carrier (found on your shipping confirmation) about the whereabouts of your package.
USPS:
- Packages are not being scanned in until it is delivered at your home or place of business.
- Packages dropped off are sitting at USPS facilities for a long period of time before USPS starts to show movement.
- Packages are showing delivered but customers have not received it.
Please be advised: We contact USPS for every order that has issues that are brought to our attention. The only response we ever receive from them is "we do NOT know any tracking information besides what is provided based on your tracking number." This means that all we know is what can be found by clicking on the tracking number.
From our experience, 99.9% of all packages will show up, just very late. This can often times be 2-3 weeks late. We apologize for the inconvenience, but we do not control USPS operations or how fast they deliver your order.
