in-stock items

most orders for in-stock items begin the order process as soon as your online purchase is completed. your in-stock item will be shipped once the item is located, your payment is approved and the receiving address is verified. you will not be charged for your order until it is shipped to you.

for example, if you order an in-stock item on monday that leaves the warehouse in 1-2 full business days, it will leave the warehouse by end-of-day wednesday. after your order leaves our warehouse, delivery times vary according to the shipping method you select during checkout and the location of your shipping address. please note that business days are monday-friday, excluding federal holidays within the united states.

backordered or advanced sale items

backordered or advanced sale items are items that are not yet in stock, but available for advanced purchase on our site. a backordered item is shipped directly to you once it is in stock. you will be notified of the status of your backordered item via email. you will not be charged for any item until it is shipped to you. expected shipment time (for example, "advanced sale: buy now for shipping in 4-6 weeks") is indicated on the product detail page.

please note: expected shipment windows appearing on the product detail page specify when an item is expected to leave our warehouse, not when the item will arrive at its final shipping destination.

after your order leaves our warehouse, delivery times vary according to the shipping method you select during checkout and the location of your shipping address.
